The new Survivor is Mikaela Reid.

Haunted by the passing of her father, new Survivor Mikaela Reid found comfort in the unlikeliest of sources: horror stories. The more she read, the more she also wrote, sharpening her own tales of horror while developing a keen interest in witchcraft. After receiving an invitation to read her work at the renown Endless Halloween Festival, Mikaela found herself plagued by a series of disturbing events. Recurring nightmares. Strange visions. The disappearance of a friend. When she finally took to the stage on All Hallow’s Eve to tell her tale a thick black Fog engulfed her, to the audience’s amazement. Mikaela Reid was never seen again.

The Hour of the Witch Chapter includes:

• A new Survivor: Mikaela Reid
  
• An exclusive item for Mikaela: Crescent Camisole
  

Not all witches are wicked. Never-before-seen powers have arrived in the Fog.

See you in the Fog,

The Dead by Daylight team.
