Sweet Night

[p]Hello Inspectors,[/p][p][/p][p]While replaying Firewatch, I realized just how much changes in lighting shape the atmosphere and the scenery of a game. We’ve therefore decided to create different lighting moods, currently based on four modes: dawn, day, dusk, and night.[/p][p]It’s still a work in progress, but we wanted to share one of these atmospheres with you.[/p][p][/p][p]As you approach the summit, your breath nearly falters. Not from exhaustion — such a thing has no place here. The northern lights spill across the sky, and a violet moon rising on the horizon strikes a dazzling contrast against them.[/p][p]You step toward the warm glow of a campfire. In the frozen beauty of this night, each footfall crunches in the snow with a strangely satisfying sound — like a thousand tiny bubbles bursting beneath your feet.
Far below, the hum of a sentinel drifts upward, but at this distance its drone is almost soothing.[/p][p]For a moment, you forget why you are here. You could sit down, lose yourself in the spectacle for hours, and let reality fade away.[/p][p]You linger by the fire for long minutes, your eyes entranced by the shimmering curtain of auroras above, before continuing on your way.[/p]
