Take on the role of a merciless torturer. Earn money from video transmissions of your torments and then buy new victims and torture tools to expand your prison.
This doesn't even look that well made or fun to play. Like literally aren't there already very popular and well regarded "cat and mouse" style horror games like the Friday the 13th game or that other one where they have a bunch of unlockable slashers?
the community tends to get upset if the killer plays to win for some reason.
I think it's a largely mutual agreement. The normal things that killers can do that are considered toxic are things that are less engaging (like camping someone out of the game) or are very risky gambles that avoid core parts of the loop (like not hooking), but they all have their place and for the most part when done at the appropriate time there are no hard feelings about it.
There's also a phenomenon where new killer players get relentlessly stomped on over and over until they learn the game, which at once makes them vengeful and angry towards survivors but also makes them the underdog which tends to make people more sympathetic towards others in general, so by the time someone has learned the game even though they want to stomp survivors back, they're also more likely to feel sorry for them and not always capitalize on mistakes or play particularly cutthroat if they don't feel threatened. There's a bit of a meme in the community that all the toxic killers are survivor mains just doing archives or dailies as killer.
There's also the fact that the DbD community is disproportionately LGBT for some reason, and I can speak from experience in saying it's a lot harder to be cutthroat towards someone wearing a pride flag charm.

It's so cool seeing these community dynamics arise from the mechanics of the game itself.
At least when it's not the usual :gamer-gulag: stuff, you know?
