Possible to make scene darker and character not?

Hey all,
Does anyone know if there's a way to darken the whole scene except for the player? Like if the player was on a separate layer or something. Or is it more complicated than that?

In 2D?

Your scene's art will comprise of sprites drawn with Sprite Renderer components - you can alter their "Color" fields to give them a darker tint. This property can be animated if you want to control it through animation.

Alternatively, if your background sprites are all further back in the Z-axis than your Player, you could place a giant "transparent grey" sprite in between the two to have them appear darker without affecting the Player.
