Everything it does
Built for players who want the information without the clutter — or the risk of anything that looks like a cheat overlay.
Automatic map detection
Reads the map name straight off your screen (OCR) — no manual selection needed most of the time.
Two layout styles
Classic 1-12 clock numbering, or the 3x3 Numpad grid popular with Brazilian players — switch anytime with a hotkey.
ReShade integration
Assign a ReShade color preset per map and it switches automatically the moment the map is detected.
English, Portuguese & Spanish
Full interface translation, switchable anytime in Settings.
Fully customizable
Opacity, size, position, hotkeys — tune the overlay until it's exactly as unobtrusive as you want.
Lightweight & quiet
Lives in the system tray, does nothing until you ask it to. No background polling, no memory reading, no game files touched.
Getting started
Up and running in under a minute.
Install and launch
Run the installer, then open DBD Overlay — it settles into the system tray.
Jump into a match
Play Dead by Daylight normally. Whenever you want to check the map, press the Detect map hotkey (default F10) — it reads the bottom-left corner at match start or the TAB scoreboard, whichever is showing.
The minimap appears
A small overlay shows up with the map's landmark numbers — drag it anywhere, resize it, or hide it with the Toggle overlay hotkey.
Fine-tune in Settings
Right-click the tray icon → Settings to set hotkeys, pick a layout style, assign ReShade presets per map, or change the language.
