🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to enable Filmic color grading in the game's graphics settings, as the mod explicitly requires it for the intended look.
If you're new to Reshade, install it first and then drop the config file into the game's main folder, then tweak the preset in-game.
Test the shader in a dark biome like the Blood Kelp Zone to see if the horror effect is too intense for your taste.
