Good evening Operators! Now that we've had a couple days of feedback under our belt the dev team is leaning into implementing some of the suggestions we've gotten.

In this showcase, we focus on the ‘Lights Out’ feature, a newly implemented game mechanic introduced to add uniqueness to the tactical shooter genre.
