Great article. As an aside, the unshaded "color" GBuffer channel [1] makes me want a game that's fully lit like that.
The original Resident Evil game for PS1 was (because of technical limitations back then) comparatively brightly lit, and it lent the game a weird atmosphere — you have the normalcy of the house, but intruded upon by the supernatural. It's scary in a different way than the newer games, which are darkly lit and rely on jump scares.
The only recent game that comes to mind is Control, and only certain parts of it.
There are a few movies that are lit more naturalistically — The Shining and Day of the Dead come to mind — and I love the effect.
