It's also too goddamned dark to play on PC without mods.

    If you're still on PC (meaning Windows), you should be playing with the updated driver. There used to be a hacky way to do it. Deus Exe is the new way. That graphics driver lets you bump up the gamma, which sorts the unreasonable darkness, without washing out the light areas. The updated driver is also, as far as I can tell, essential to emulating the game on Mac/Linux, since the emulator can't do the original driver.

    Going from memory, I think the game originally supported DirectX 7 and something else. The DirectX 9 driver may be what makes it work with an emulator. (And you can totally use mods, too. I mean, I ran it with Shifter... as one does.)

    you have a build in light augment to help you navigate the dark areas. It is set at night after all.
