Make a Dark Cave-Like Area

[Riario93]

Hi Everyone,
lighting in Unity is something that give troubles everytime. Probably someone would agree with me but obviously depends what you need to do.

My little game basically have one Scene with one directional light. While building the map I decided to build a cave inside it and guess what ? I need it to be completely dark. but this is the issue because my directional light keep lit everything even inside the cave.

Anyone has the Answer?
Cheers
