Greenville Square also happens to be the new map introduced in All Things Wicked. Comprised of a theater, arcade, and some auxiliary areas, it is here that Dead by Daylight players will try to survive encounters with The Unknown.

And if one piece of nightmare fuel isn't enough, Chapter 31 promises a multiple thereof. Namely, The Unknown is able to shoot toxic projectiles that mess with the
