I like the shadows idea.

Though it may be hard I think to prototype that early in on in the basic world we’re working with, at least at the stage I’m at, no many objects for casting shadows.

Maybe just have static shadow volumes initially to represent them and setup the mechanics while you’re still world building.

That’s pretty much what I was thinking. Just cheat a little and use a trigger volume to shift into the hidden state.
