Help needed on making the outside at night pitch black when night

Hi all.
I’m trying to achieve something a-like to a game called Voices of the Void’s lighting, where the outside is pitch black at night unless a source of light is near, and perfectly fine at morning.
Currently, mine does not look appetizing

What I have:
a very ugly game

One has stunning night imagery, mainly due to not everything being lit up by the moon, and not being ruined in the morning, while the other looks bad.

You’re not using all the lighting properties or post-processing FX to your disposal.

Read these articles to learn about lighting.

Add a script where it detects the TimeOfDay.
Then, make the script change the OutdoorAmbient whenever it turns dark.

Or go with the solution above this post, which doesn’t require scripts.
