Good idea! The surrounding area is now illuminated. Right as you turn on your lighter, the path behind you becomes blocked by a wall that submerges from the ground. Oh well the path probably didn’t lead anywhere important. On your left, you see a wall full of sharp spikes. It would have been terrible blindly walking into one if you didn't choose to use your lighter. Thank god for human advancement! Also on the spikey wall, you notice an adjacent lever that you can use. Maybe it opens something? In front of you is a hole, and it looks really deep. It wouldn’t be wise to jump down there but who knows? On your right is an opening that looks like it leads somewhere. What will you do?
