That would help. I had a hard enough time navigating the bedroom with such a small circle of light. I had been thinking it would help if the asteroid guy found the flashlight in his room, though adding darkness would work too. Maybe if you used darkness to cut off everything to the left of his room and found a way to dimly illuminate the kitchen area? Perhaps the fountain glows for some sci-fi reason.
Feel free to discard these thoughts :) I just feel some more light would have really helped me at the beginning.
I currently am stuck after finding that the autodefense computer is not working. No doors open expect the door to the computer and I cannot find anything else. I suspect I am supposed to go to the roof at some point, but have no other ideas. Am enjoying the premise and would like to finish the game.
