^This right here. Tbh, I think a DBD zone/house could be interesting, but I only know about DBD because of the licensed characters, not the original characters.pull a DBD themselves and just create another "original" killer + story and make a full haunt out of that. Greater creative control, less issues with rights, and it leaves an IP slot open while scratching the itch (ala Saws 'n' Steam / Bioshock or Seeds of Extinction / The Last of Us)
Could be wrong, but I feel like DBD is more known for its licensed characters roster.
