I'm not entirely convinced either, but it was more for a technical reason to test the Lumen lighting system outdoors and also to make it more like a dating sim, which for now is what I think the game has the most to offer...
My goal is to combine it more with adventure elements, stealth, and futuristic nighttime environments, something like Blade Runner, although I think that will be for the second part. For now, it's just a matter of establishing the foundation.
