Holy moly, let me tell you about the time I became an insignificant speck in Dead by Daylight's most gloriously unhinged April Fools joke! Last year's My Little Oni modifier wasn't just gameplay—it felt like being an ant trapped in a coliseum where a kaiju-sized demon had misplaced his contact lenses. Imagine surviving feels like dodging falling skyscrapers while trying to fix a toaster with toothpicks. And that Oni? Pure nightmare fuel—a mountain range that learned to sprint and developed a grudge against anything smaller than its pinky toe. 🤯
🔍 Finding the Madness: Accessing the Modifier
Let's get real: discovering this mode felt like finding a secret trapdoor in your basement leading to Narnia. Just boot up Dead by Daylight and bam! There it is, lurking in the upper left corner of the screen like a mischievous gremlin waving a neon sign. No convoluted menus—just click "My Little Oni Modifier" and pick your poison: victim or volcanic rage monster. Easy peasy, right? Wrong. This is where the funhouse mirror distortion begins.
💥 Playing as Killer: Stomping Gnats in God Mode
Choosing killer here means you ARE the Oni—no arguments, no cosmetics, just raw, building-shaking power. It’s like being handed Thor’s hammer while everyone else is armed with bubble wrap. Your mission? Crush those Lilliputian survivors beneath your titanic feet. No hooks needed—just satisfying squish sounds. 🦶
Key differences from regular matches:
-
Blood Fury feels nuclear: Absorb injured survivors’ blood orbs to trigger Demon Dash/Strike—like a tornado with a baseball bat.
-
Survivors are dust motes: Spotting them is harder than finding a contact lens in a snowstorm.
-
Instant obliteration: Down someone? Stomp them like a rogue cockroach. No second chances.
🐜 Survivor Experience: Honey, I Shrunk the Team!
Playing survivor here is pure existential dread. You pick any character (sans outfits/perks), then get zapped into insect scale. Repairing generators feels like performing open-heart surgery with chopsticks while Godzilla tap-dances overhead. That giant Oni isn’t just scary—his footsteps vibrate your bones like a subwoofer at a dubstep concert.
Survival 101:
-
Two scratch marks = permadeath: Get downed twice? You’re pancake batter. 🥞
-
Repair 3 gens: Exit gates swing open instantly—like finding a fire exit during an earthquake.
-
Hatch escapes: When you’re the last crumb standing, pray to the gaming gods for mercy.

Even the cosmetics leaned into the chaos! For a handful of Iridescent Shards, you could snag:
Item | Character | Cost (Shards) |
---|---|---|
Arlecchino (head) | Vittorio Toscano | 4 |
Pixelated Glasses | Adam Francis | 1 |
These weren’t just accessories—they were trophies from surviving a dimension where scale physics took a vacation. Wearing those pixel glasses? Felt like strapping on VR goggles in the middle of a hurricane.
🤔 Final Thoughts: Why This Madness Mattered
My Little Oni distilled Dead by Daylight into pure, unfiltered panic—a chess match where the board is alive and trying to eat you. That tension between repairing gens and avoiding boot-shaped doom? Chef’s kiss. 👌 Yet it left me wondering... what if they scaled it further? Mosquito-sized survivors? Map-sized killers? The possibilities itch like a phantom limb. One thing’s certain: normal matches now feel like knitting club. Bring back the beautiful chaos!
