    I’m not sure if other games have done it, but I don’t really recall any off the top of my head: guiding lights like in Left 4 Dead. The reason you know where you’re going in L4D almost subconsciously is because they use lights to tell you the general direction of your path. Be it a street light, hall way light, or just a brighter lit area, your brain automatically and instinctively draws you towards to help you navigate with zero map or compass.
