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
If your flashlight does that than please tell me what kinda flashlight you got? All mine look like the ones in video games.
It’s the way our vision works, not the flashlight (mostly).
High intensity/white light flashlights can induce more of the first image, but even those don’t make a hard transition of visible/not visible, as light splashes and our vision has a gentler transition.
I own both cheap flashlights, good ones with high CRI, some with high intensity and high CRI, some with high focus, etc. Pretty much all of them produce the second image in varying degrees because that’s how human vision works.
