DYING LIGHT is a first-person survival horror game set in a zombie-infested city, blending parkour-based movement with melee combat and crafting. Players scavenge for supplies by day and face far more dangerous infected at night.

Its free-running traversal system lets players navigate rooftops and streets fluidly while evading or fighting hordes, and its day-night cycle fundamentally changes the threat level, making careful planning essential once darkness falls.
