Agents will also emit sound (waves) for you to react to.

The atmosphere it creates (especially with the sound effects) is compelling. I beat the first dark level, but it's a bit too tedious to make my way through lots of mazes in the dark, mainly cuz I have to keep waiting for the lightning to figure out where I am and where I can go.
