Darkness Equals Death	comment	If someone enters a dark space in any horror media (though action films also use the trope), you know something's going to happen, and it's not likely to be good. Something's going to snatch someone, burst into the room, be lit dramatically by a sudden flash of lightning, and/or bull rush the heroes. Happens especially in rooms where there are dangly things to hide the villain. Foreboding Architecture and evil being poorly lit tend to compound the problem. Bonus points if a storm causes the aforementioned lightning flashes. More bonus points if it's the attacker who set up the dark room in the first place. In real life, associating darkness with impending doom is just one of the many evolutionary survival techniques that makes us fear the dark: many predators that could take down humans are nocturnal hunters, and humans have poor night vision in comparison. In other words, because our species is primarily diurnal and associates daytime with more freedom in making more practical decisions, there's a reason why so many horror movies as well as horror media in general primarily takes place during the night. If humans evolved from nocturnal animals instead, it would be significantly harder to stimulate our Primal Fear response with nighttime horror setting. Not a Subversion. Not to be confused with Dark Is Evil, although it can invoke this. Often overlaps with Nice Day, Deadly Night. In Video Games, can lead to a Timed Mission if combined with a Ten-Second Flashlight or Tentative Light. Often found hand-in-hand with Nocturnal Crime, with Frequently Full Moon tagging along close behind. Related to Lights Off, Somebody Dies, although the effects in that trope tend to be more immediate.

If they go out, you'll stumble around in darkness until you fall and die, even in areas outside or areas that have some other source of light. The remake is a bit more sensible about this; if your torches go out, you can stay in any area that already has a light source and not die, but moving into any dark area beyond that without relighting the torches will kill you.

Try to turn on the lights to defend yourself? It'll teleport away if it's exposed to sudden lights and retreat for another ambush. Because of this, its containment chamber has to be completely dark.

In one level, Sam's helpers aid him in eliminating a squad of enemies by cutting the power. As the lights go out, they're easy pickings. Conversely, an early level in the second game, Pandora Tomorrow plays the trope straight against Sam, where he must stay inside the beam of a searchlight or he dies instantly, courtesy of an enemy sentinel with Night-Vision Goggles and a Sniper Rifle.

Darkness Equals Death / int_53435bc5	comment	In Don't Starve, any time a player character is in total darknessnote Night vision or going to sleep will keep the night monster away just as well as normal light, oddly enough; you're only in danger if you're awake and can't see they are vulnerable to being attacked by a shadow monster that can take off half your health in one strike. First they'll remark on how dark it is, then you hear a sinister hissing noise, and then you get hit. Most non-natural light sources in the game have a limited duration after which they need to be replaced or refueled, except for Willow's lighter. Torches are the most readily available option for low-level characters, but you can't hold a weapon and a torch at the same time; you can beat monsters with the torch if absolutely necessary but it does very little damage. There's also the fact that, unless you have a full Sanity Meter, shadowy hands will reach out of the darkness to snuff out ground-based light sources.

Darkness Equals Death / int_61e400a0	comment	Happens quite literally with the Azurite Mine in Path of Exile. If you stray too far from any light source (the Crawler, the lamps placed along completed paths, or dropped flares), the darkness itself inflicts a stacking debuff that drains your life, getting faster with each stack until you die or get back to a source of light. While there are upgrades to carry more flares, extend their duration, resist the darkness damage and such, delving deeper into the Mine will require you to keep upgrading your darkness resistance and light radius, in order to counteract the penalties to them incurred at greater depths.

The Fireberries themselves emit light, and warmth from Brandon's hand causes the berries to decay and lose their glow over the maximum of three screen transitions; if he drops them on the cold floor, the decay stops and the glow remains constant. So Brandon must explore the Grotto by dropping Fireberries on the floor to light up otherwise pitch-black rooms, then come back for more. Get caught in a room with no bush and no berries, and the results are predictably unpleasant.

Darkness Equals Death / int_755997ac	comment	Doom In the classic Doom games, the room suddenly turning dark indicates a monster ambush, either from a Monster Closet or a Teleporting Keycard Squad. Spectres are also visible in bright areas, but near-impossible to see when light is anything less than optimal. In DoomÂ³, a game infamous for darkness-related issues, you have to choose between the flashlight or a weaponnote unless you are escorting a scientist carrying a lantern; even then, that only happens once, the Escort Mission lasts for less than two minutes, and the overeager dumb sod rushes ahead to the exit and gets killed in an ambush. Player frustration with this arbitrary choice and the ensuing Fake Difficulty led to the famous "Duct Tape" Game Mod, in which Doomguy Takes a Third Option by attaching a flashlight to a few of his weapons. The BFG Edition takes the tack of attaching the light to Doomguy's armor, allowing the player to use weapons freely.

With human survivors enduring in the ruins of Moscow's deteriorating subway tunnels, the player will often find nasty post-nuclear wildlife in that darkness that seeks to dispute your dominant position at the top of the food chain. However, the dark tunnels are just as often empty, and the player can sneak around in the shadows to get the drop on human enemies or sneak past them without violence. Played dead straight when you encounter spiderbugs, Big Creepy-Crawlies that attack in swarms but are deathly vulnerable to light. Then, youâ€™ll switch on every lamp, light every lantern, and set fire to anything and everything you can to keep the nasty bastards at bay. The Nazis exploit this against you in Metro: Last Light when you escape from Reich Station with Pavel. Rather than chase you into a spiderbug-infested tunnel, they simply turn the lights off.

On one hand, ghost attacks are usually heralded by a complete blackout, or uncontrollable flickering of all available lights (and blown-out candles), and sanity drops while in darkness (if it bottoms out, ghosts tend to go for the kill). On the other, darkness will let you see paranormal activity more easily, letting you get done faster with the mission, and standing in the light too long will court the ghost's ire. And completely inverted with Jinn-type ghosts, as those get especially aggressive and dangerous when the lights are on and will endeavor to keep them on; darkness will keep you safer in these cases.

She is a subversion though, as she can't see in her own darkness, and is too stupid to eat anyone in the first place. ZUN has explained in supplementary materials that Rumia was specifically intended to be an aversion of the trope: Because Darkness Equals Death and Dark Is Evil, audiences tend to expect characters with dark-based powers to be extremely powerful, so he made Rumia a weak stage 1 boss instead. It says something that Cirno, the Butt-Monkey of the setting, could wipe the floor with her... ZUN did leave open possibility that there's more to Rumia than meets the eye, though, through the Paper Talisman in her hair. The fanmade "EX-Rumia", which is what happens when said Talisman is taken off, usually plays the trope very straight. In a more general sense, the whole setting has some elements of this hidden in the manuals... There are rules for humans and youkai to follow and one of the most well-known ones is that any human who isn't in a safe area by the time the sun sets is fair game.

Anywhere where that light does not shine, the All-Consuming Darkness can manifest, corroding matter (both living and otherwise) like acid and in time allowing the entry of Darkspawn that can enter the illuminated areas and attempt to snuff out the lamps. Unsurprisingly, everything about Alhambra, from its architecture to its society to its foreign policy, is built on the necessity of keeping every square inch of the city lit.

If any of the good guys are being held hostage or about to be shot by the bad guys and the lights go out, that tends to be the cue for Big Damn Heroes.

Darkness Equals Death / int_f891a20d	comment	Terraria: The Don't Starve crossover introduced a special world seed, "The Constant", that makes a world with Don't Starve mechanics, one of which being that standing in total darkness for any amount of time will have the player character take damage from something. It's easy to keep the darkness away by holding up a torch, but torches and tiki torches extinguish in the rain in worlds made with that seednote candles and other more complex lighting items won't go out and early light pets are likely to fall behind and unreliable as a result; this makes Shine Potions (that make the player glow) and the Mining Helmet (that provides light when worn as armor) important until more reliable portable light sources like the Magiluminescence accessory or a good light pet can be obtained.

Darkness Equals Death / int_fcf43f47	comment	Several Fighting Fantasy books will award you non-standard game overs for going into tunnels and caves without a light (many of which chastise the player for their foolishness).

Darkness Equals Death / int_fd8ef85e	comment	While not present in the game itself per se since zombies can attack you whether or not you're in the dark, the level design of Left 4 Dead uses this association to guide players where to go. Since darkness is instinctively avoided, players tend towards the well lit areas that eventually lead to the safe house.
