This mod allows you to quickly toggle all HUD elements on/off with a single key press (Caps Lock by default, but this can be changed). You may also finally disable the awful blinding bloom effect when standing under a light by pressing F1, and the sprint effect (blue-ish purple vignette) with F2. Sadly I couldn't currently find a way to disable the motion blur.
Toggling the HUD does have two small negatives at the moment: bloom around light sources is toned down while the HUD is off, that shader is tied to the HUD, and I did notice one wire/cable went missing in a level if I disabled the HUD. I haven't seen any other examples of that so I'm not sure what was going on there.
WHAT YOU NEED:
TO CHANGE TOGGLE HUD KEYBIND:
While in-game press the Home key to bring up the Reshade UI, go to the "Add-ons" tab, and select "Edit" under ShaderToggler to pick a new hotkey. Click "OK", then "OK" again, then finally "Save all Toggle Groups".
A huge thank you to Frans Bouma, the creator of ShaderToggler! This wouldn't have been possible without them.

WHAT YOU NEED:
- Latest version of ReShade with full add-on support (second option) from here
- Install ReShade to the game by selecting DarknessII.exe in this location (and make sure to select DirectX 9):
steamapps\common\Darkness II - Extract the contents of my Toggle HUD for Darkness II.zip you downloaded from here into the same location (afterward you should have ShaderToggler.ini and ShaderToggler.addon64 in the same folder as the the .exe mentioned above).
- Boot up the game and use Caps Lock to toggle the HUD on/off
