"Your Light Wards Off The Darkness" - A player using a flashlight to ward off The Darkness

Description

The Flashlight casts a yellow circular light in front of the player, lighting up the darkness. The flashlight lasts for a total of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. For the first 2 minutes of being lit, the flashlight will act as normal; however, upon reaching its last 30 seconds of life, it will switch to "Low Battery Mode."  This serves as a warning to the player that the flashlight's power is about to run out soon enough; the light will become dim and flicker a brief second before going into said mode. After the last 30 seconds, the flashlight dies and the player is left in the darkness until they recharge it. The flashlight requires two batteries in order to recharge. It can also be switched on and off in order to save energy.

During light disruption, the flashlight would flicker and emit a quiet looping noise; this serves as a warning that a Prime Entity is attacking. The flashlight has a unique property of being able to defuse The Darkness. If the player is currently hiding and The Darkness is attacking them, the player can turn on their flashlight, which will briefly ward off The Darkness but will also instantly put the flashlight in Low Battery Mode.
