Do flashlights actually need to hurt the eyes?

I'm talking about in real life. Flashlights are this weird contrast to the screen where it suddenly becomes bright in a mostly dark game. And yes, they do hurt much like using a cellphone in a dimly lighted room (I play in a bright room and flashlights still hurt).


Maybe make them darken the screen instead? Or have the killer cover their eyes?

    An animation of the killer covering their own eyes would actually be pretty cool. +1 for that

    Check out what they used to do a couple of years ago. Brilliant actual blindingly bright white screen, it was insane.

    I agree, there should be an option to chose between darken the screen or light up like it is now.

    It shouldnt be too hard to do, is just a color swap in the effect.

    Back in the day flashlight blinds were litterly a blinding white screen and the best ones did this in 0.3 seconds or something

    You could just be chasing a survivor and suddenly bam white screen

    I have to look away from the screen because it's so extremely bright it causes actual pain, makes the flashlight trolling so much worse. I've even had to send messages like "stop doing that it legit hurts" with really turns survivors on and they'll make even more reckless plays just to get in more blinds

    They should just make the screen get darker (starting from edges) for killer blinds.

    Easy fix....boom.
