📋 About This Mod
"Do you remember the day when the sun disappeared? I was there. The sun set one day... and then it died, never to be seen again. The world was thrown into eternal darkness. I have to wonder though, how is the moon still glowing bright?"
"The Night After" is a mod for Watch Dogs 2 which offers players a uniquely darkened journey into a post-sun-death version of San Francisco after an unexplained cosmic event.
SURVIVE IN THE NIGHT
- It's the same game as before, but dark.
- There's no sun, sunlight, or day cycle at all.
- Collect everything you collected before, but without as much light.
DISCOVER THE NEW POST-SUN-DEATH WORLD
- Explore San Francisco at night, with its richly detailed enhanced lighting and shading.
- Enter compounds, gang hideouts, and Blume facilities even stealthier than before.
- Uncover the same hidden Research Points as before using the same stunningly detailed vehicles as before.
REBUILD YOUR EYES
- No more bright orange sun lens flares on your screen.
- Less shadows, so more performance, in theory anyways.
- Build your own perfect outfit for Marcus... which you'll rarely get to see.
