Brightness too low to understand what to do
Worded to avoid the pun, but the game is too dark even with the gamma slider turned all the way up. I feel like I'm clicking around blindly trying to guess what to do in each screen.

Here's an example:

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/26559378470155682/36BC6126A03B118166A048C8A7E7AFC7F4E414DC/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Generally the screen elements are too dark to draw attention, so intuiting ui elements is difficult, but worse is that the party icons are nearly invisible. The screenshot may be more visible to you than to me due to environmental lighting/glare/etc. but I think the brightness settings should be able to compensate. This might be the first game that doesn't have brightness settings sufficient to allow me to play in daylight.

Anyone else have this issue? Can we get increased gamma options, or is there a workaround?

I found a "Dark Stabilizer" setting, and that makes a huge difference. I can actually see borders and UI elements now.
They added the option to change the gamma but still no proper brightness option or any accessibility option for people with bad eyesight. It is very amateur.
