Are they?  Those that are....in the very early part of coming back
looking for the missing worker, I recall seeing workers trying to hide
from that...that...hell light?  It seems it killed and changed those
workers to zombies.   So, why didn't that change our avatar?  Oh well.

That darkness is like too sharply dark.  Maybe that darkness is shader?
If so, then there's a cvar to change it somewhere I'd bet.  Then the
flashlight shines on it and the lightening up effect is definitely

didn't do anything at all I could see for these areas.  have you played
with any of the cvars ingame?
