Dead By Daylight’s Sadako is scaring the life out of streamers

Some jump scares are well worth it.

Ringu’s Sadako has a reputation of being among horror’s scariest figures, and Dead By Daylight streamers are learning that the hard way.

With the arrival of Dead By Daylight’s Sadako Rising Chapter, a whole new generation is learning why many of us are still afraid to walk past open wells. Mostly because of a sneaky jump scare hidden in pre-match lobbies.

If you select Sadako before a match, she periodically sprints towards the camera, likely scaring the bejesus out of unsuspecting fans. Well, it’s more of a teleportation tick meant to mimic Sadako climbing out of TVs like in Ringu, but still, it’s the kind of thing that’ll potentially make somebody’s heart skip a beat. Watch the clip below to see what I mean.

Naturally, this sneaky jump scare is catching a lot of Day By Daylight streamers off guard while they take a look at her perks and abilities. Unfortunate for them, entertaining for you — so take a look at the best reactions to Sadako below.
