Glowing eyes in the dark

[ColonialMarine0]

I love this game so much, its a great horrro survival game but I do have some little suggestions for enemies, for one light at night causes people's eye to glint a little, that should be implinted in the enemies, it would give the canabals more of a horrofying presence at night, i also think you should add more wild animals that also pose a threat to the player, not sure if your already woring on that but just throwing that out there, anyway great game thanks guys.

+ I like your ideas

I'm going to have respectfully, but strongly, disagree here. The thing thats more scary than seeing glowing eyes in the dark, is knowing there's something there, but not seeing. It would make the game too easy.
Also glowing red eyes is kind of a goofy trope nowadays.

snakes and bears
some wildlife sounds like owls at night or crickets would be good

never said they had to be red, just said glowing eyes, cause the light of the moon would cause a glint in the eye, just and idea, I think it would make it a bit more spookier.

Iridescence is difficult, but Unity does support emissive materials...
A dull glint in the distance from both animal and cannibal eyes, maybe.
Enough to make you paranoid, but not enough to tell you exactly what's out there.

This might not be a bad thing, but it sounds like it is a very narrow space for it to be really working fine. As suggested, you do not want to give away too much. Imho good, but maybe tricky to pull of just right?

Some will hate it, some will love it, as always, as to be expected, as is normal... They maybe could present it as an option?

Yeah, it's a hard thing to execute properly.
This is especially true if you are targeting more than just high-end platforms, as one one graphical option reduction can drastically change how something like this is perceived.
(The difference between lighting, for example, may completely change the look and feel.)
