Some help concerning level design (nontechnical)

[FlawlessHappiness]

How about keeping most of the house unlit. Except (for example) at the bathroom.

The player will most likely go for the light first, except if there is a door close by.

It's like the player is attracted to it.
Maybe i could make it like:

1. Items.
2. Doors/Drawers/Closets
3. Light
4. Places you can light up
5. Darkness

Nobody would ever run straight into darkness unless:
-There's nothing else to do.
-You know you're supposed to.

(Of course there will be, but then you're not playing the game)
