(4.7. - 4.9.1. Don't forget "Legacy standard effects" during installation.) (4.9.1. Attention: Rename my "DefaultPreset.ini" to "ReShadePreset.ini" or start my "DefaultPreset.ini" manually in the ReShade menu!)
Info download and install ReShade: C:\Program Files\The Town of Light ... (exe is located) Insert The Dark file (DefaultPreset.ini) into the folder: C:\Program Files\The Town of Light\DefaultPreset.ini (exe is located)
- ReShade 4.5.4 full content works perfectly - ReShade 4.6.+ this guide! https://www.nexusmods.com/alienisolation/mods/11?tab=posts
I ask for a short feedback, should a new ReShade update cause problems with The Dark ReShade. I try to update in a timely manner. thank you
Unlike many of his genre siblings, The Town of Light explicitly refers to a historical chapter in recent history: The time of the so-called mental hospitals, in which people with mental illnesses were taken care of by close associates or the state power, so that the "patients" could be treated there. Instead of, for example, therapeutic discussions, as we know them from modern treatment methods, inhumane states and test series with electric shocks or other "treatment methods" await the newcomers, some of which even fulfill the definition of torture. Last but not least, we now know so much about the conditions in these institutions because the local staff meticulously documented and archived which patients were treated how and how long - and from such documents draws The Town of Light, the inspiration for a playable story, as it would have been possible just a hundred years ago.
Adult Content !
In this game, it often comes to scenes in which the player in the skin of the protagonist, among other victims of violence, traumatic anxiety or depressive episodes. If in doubt, we recommend taking a look at a Let's Play or Gameplay video so you can at least get a rough idea of whether The Town of Light is your gaming experience before you buy it.

It is intended to show the sad story of Renée more clearly. The lighting conditions will change significantly. Slightly sharper textures, more contrast. Dust, particles and fog work a little better. Less colors, darker rooms and very dark nights. (Flashlight now useful) It will look like the pictures. Just Dark ...
Town of Light is an incredible game and amongst the best i ever played. Good work with the lighting, although i like how colors blend with the shadows in the game. Going outside is like getting out of water and gasping for breath, getting away from the darkness to brighter moments, from sadness to happiness.
Thanks for your nice comment. Yes it is a very nice game about a sad story and document. So that we don't forget these people.
About the mod: I thought it was too nice in the house considering the cruel story. I also had a better feeling for Renée's fear when it was darker overall. The outside area was certainly a place of joy and colors. A place to relax? I know from experience that it is often not enough.
Hah it is indeed very colorful, it constrasts a lot with the overall feeling of the game. But it is a very positive point for me. Sometimes these little bits of calm and relax, these little moments away, are what makes us keep going. It certaintly shows in game this too, as the best moments were outside, and these moments made living inside a better experience.
This mod makes the game feel a bit 'vintage', and since it is a story about the past, fits very well! It brings some 'nostalgic' feeling to it all
I understand what you mean. It feels different. The game can trigger strong feelings. Bad and also good. The good ones are sure to be outside. I'm glad you like it a little.
