A circuit that controls how dark it is, this can be done with skydome, fog, and sun. But the fog just gives the illusion of darkness and the intensity of the darkness is kinda straight up bad. If the screen could be pitch black unless you are holding a flashlight, or there is a light near you, it would make horror games much scarier

For now, the best way to make scenes darker is using RRS fog or post processing

You can create darker scenes by adjusting Point Lights, but adding a darkness component could really help the atmosphere. It would help make rooms feel creepier or a calm night vibe.

The sub room environments also provide that effect. They change all sorts of stuff with the room looks, especially the lighting

You can also turn down the directional light intensity and turn off skybox lighting in studio to make everything completely dark

As most of the other people have previously mentioned, I recommend using either Fog Modifiers, or Skydome/Sunlight Chips.

On your watch go to This Room < Settings < Subroom < Click the Gear Icon < Subroom Mood < Set to Outer Space.
Then once you have it set to Outer Space, take out a Sunlight Chip & turn it all the way down to 0 & there you go, a pitch black room without needing Fog or any RRS.

You have to spawn in a Sunlight Chip preferably CV1 & Set the Red 0 to a 1 & then the Sunlight will be gone, if you want a Skydome then you have to sacrifice Darkness for appearance.
If you’re making a Horror Game I say Darkness is your friend, what do you think people are more focused on, the Skydome or whatever is lurking in the Darkness?

Unfortunately this is not true black. And the only true way to get around RecRoom’s blue tint is uploading from RRS.
This is what the skybox looks like with those steps:
However you can get a darker skybox than this still using tools inside RecRoom.
Here’s a simple tutorial I made. How to get darkest possible skybox without RRS
