Inside Outbuildings and Some Options

I'm happy to say I've completed all the backgrounds for my game! Fifty interiors and exteriors in all. Next is to do the character portraits!

One of the last things I did was the interiors of the outbuildings I've made. I decided to create the interiors nested in the exterior shots, although I'm not sure if it would be better to not have the backgrounds darkened and just have them completely blacked out when a character is inside a building. I could still go either way!

There will be instances when the player-character will need to walk behind that boathouse in order to move from left to right across the screen. So I decided to make a wire frame that will show the outline of the house and what's behind it.

And here's another outbuilding interior nested in the exterior shot, with the stuff outside darkened up.

Or would it be better to grey out the background like this?

Or more dark / completely black background?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
