I'm sorry I think flashlight memes are funny no matter how many I see

Could be an artistic choice in a horror game, but it's also a technical choice since dynamic bounced light is so expensive (and now so literally goddamn expensive).

    Don't really need dynamic bounced light, just a second cone light with a wider angle and much dimmer. Doesn't even need to cast shadows if the game needs to be really lightweight, only give slightly more soft illumination on the edge of the strong light
