If you don't mind, a little critique.:)
I like the geometry in the screenshots, but it's too dark. If you are using low ambient light, then you need to make the light sources more bright.
The ratio of light and shadow should be equal and harmonious.
Highlight for the yellow window: 30-40 with a radius of 6-8 (and 3-4 inner). Color: 0.1/0.75
For blue: 20-30. Color: 0.6/0.7
Add non-object lights in the air (OmniLightPoint) 60-80 with a radius of 30-40 to highlight the geometry.
Don't forget about the inner radius to get rid of sharp edges.
Combos of warm light from torches and cold light from the moon or backlights give awesome lively atmosphere.
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't think that someone would write here :)
Oh that lighting.... I tried to add the light of the moon, vary the brightness and range of lighting to achieve a pleasant and beautiful, but at the same time functional lighting that would play a role in the player's behavior and decision-making, but so far I have only decided on the color of lighting and the location of candles and lanterns, the rest is still a mystery to me :)
In fact, I haven’t done it seriously yet, I hope when I get to work with lighting in missions, then some kind of discovery will come to me. Anyway, thanks for the tips :)
p.s funny that a beautiful picture is not always fraught with playability. My first versions of the levels felt perfect for me, but in reality it turned out that the gameplay did not fit into them at all. It's the same with light. I like to look at the picture but how to play it? Will have to rethink. Almost everything will have to be redone, but that's what creativity is for :)

The screenshots show worse, the game shows better, but the light still does not fulfill the function of the gameplay in my missions (yet)
