Don't play a remake of a 25 year old game on a 3 day old steam deck? Cmon eh?

Same problem on PC, turned gamma right up no diff, thought something was way off, menu seems a bit washed out (per the upped gamma) , but game is ultra dark, and the flashlight is practically non existent. Trying the above.

Ok there is no dynamic light off in PC. win11, rtx 4080

I found that lowering the gamma made the game less dark, I think the slider is inverted. 1.6 is the lighter game while 2.6 is the darkest.

Thanks man! I though the flashlight on my deck was broken.
