INTRODUCTION

Night Runner is a mod for Dying Light that rehauls the entire game. This mod has been in development for 3+ years, previously known as "Deathcore".
I wanted to release a mod that had more purpose, something for a player to enjoy. This mod aims to not only be challenging, but also encourage you explore the world of Dying Light once again.
