📋 About This Mod
Description: This mod allow you to fly a new way. You never fly so easy and natural. Flying mechanics very organically mixed with gaming process. To start, you need to cook "Mutagen" and drink it. After that your character will get pair of wings on its back. Wings are special and tuned for flying and gliding. Now all you need is just jump forward. (for more info about controls see "Controls" section).
