Hi everyone. So I decided to re-download this game and give it another shot. What prevented me from enjoying it the first time was that it was too dark. I figured maybe it got updated but it's still the same. I tired upping the brightness but to no avail. Does anyone have this issue? Or is the game just like this? The corners are pitch black and some areas just have this 'black' feeling to them.

if you're talking about the original Rise of the Triad: Dark War, you could try the source port winrottgl.

If you're referring to Rott 2013, there should be options to adjust the gamma in the menu options.
