Indoors darkness

[Капитан Облом]

Hi, I find it very annoying when you need to move along house at night and can see only black screen. Once I even gave up my run at beginning, because got stuck without even matches on the second floor of PV house. It is realistic, but in reality you can also touch things and recognize it. So it would be a good feature to highlight objects, when you run into them at night.

Also, our eyes dark-adapt.

I mean, the GAME should simulate dark-adapting.

Adjusting the brightness really helps imo.

Also this. Which is a positive for me. I like finding a stray bullet under a sofa I didn't find the first ten times I was in an interior just because now I have a lantern. Very satisfying...
For navigating in the dark I use the contours of windows for orientation.

I like that total darkness makes lanterns and torches useful. I would never carry a lantern if I could see in the dark.

I like to use a particular technique which I feel simulates this effect, but might be considered an exploit by some: Pull out a bedroll or some other item and wave it around in front of you (without actually placing it). You can kinda make out the boundaries of walls and obstacles, and navigate about as well as if you were stumbling around by hand.

It will remain useful when you explore new houses or caves, but when you move along well known house to reach a bed, there should be no need for it.

Worth a try, lantern can be used this way.

There's an excellent mod that changes indoor lighting to be both more realistic and beautiful. It also changes depending on time of day and weather conditions. It's called Ambient Lights.
It's on this list of mods:
