📋 About This Mod
Description
Want a ReShade that doesn't kill your fps? I agree that Sekiro is a good looking game, but there was just something that always looked a little off about it. Based off my popular Incandescent ReShade for Dark Souls III, this ReShade will remove the grey, washed out colours of the vanilla game, without over saturating or adding unnecessary effects so it still feels the same, giving you the full intended definitive Sekiro experience.
Tombs, nights, and shadows will be darker, and flames, candles, as well as torches will emit more light enhancing the over-all atmosphere.
Darks should be darker, lights should illuminate more, and fires should feel warmer. See screenshots for comparison, but please note that the screenshots and videos aren't entirely representative of the changes you'll experience in game, especially after undergoing compression.

Installing ReShade
1. Download the ReShade installer from https://reshade.me/
2. Run the installer, and select "Click here to select a game and manage its ReShade installation".
3. Wait for the list of .exe's to populate, or find the DarkSoulsIII.exe manually using the "Browse" button to the bottom right.
4. Click on "Direct3D 10/11/12".
5. From the list which pops up select only "SweetFX by CeeJay.dk", and "Legacy standard effects" (to be safe or simply if you'd like to play around with them yourself, you can enable all effects throughout the installation).
6. Ensure all effects are ticked in the following windows by pressing "Check all", and click "OK". Do this multiple times for each window that pops up. ReShade is now installed.
