This is a standard thing with character-based games now. You know, the colors wash out or go grayscale and important objects or quote-unquote hidden details are highlighted. maybe there's a mild fisheye zoom, maybe there's a sound effect and a time limit on it. You are going to be using it many times per minute
RD2 had this, so did the witcher (with smell-o-vision), and the asscreeds, and the arkhams, and dishonoreds, and a really janky one in the tomb raiders
