"The Darkest Corners ENB mod"
It is indeed dark, but that is adjustable. Why so dark? Because in real life, the dark is the fear of the unknown, and adds a hesitation to moving forward, which I think adds a somewhat more realistic immersing aspect. And as I have gotten through the entire game with this mod at my suggested settings (I haven't personally Beat the game as of this update, but I checked through using some other peoples saves to make sure everything is fine, and mostly because I'm stuck escaping from the Shoggoth in the Marsh Refinery), I have concluded that this works perfectly for adding a much more fearful atmosphere, but you can decide that for yourself, and obviously adjust it to your liking.
“Certainly, the terror of a deserted house swells in geometrical rather than arithmetical progression as houses multiply to form a city of stark desolation. The sight of such endless avenues of fishy-eyed vacancy and death, and the thought of such linked infinities of black, brooding compartments given over to cob-webs and memories and the conqueror worm, start up vestigial fears and aversions that not even the stoutest philosophy can disperse.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Shadow Over Innsmouth
Uses Oblivion Core ENB
Almost all shaders except Water and Ambient Occlusion are used ( Depth of Field, Motion Blur, SSAO, Shadow, Color Correction, Ect...)
It uses the "Deftones-Scope" Color Correction Palette
( obviously optional)
Uses an adjusted version of the DOF Effect.txt originally posted by icelaglace
( removed Blurry vignette, and turned up the Chromatic aberration)
I am REALLY happy with how well all the shaders work in this game. The only bugs I personally seem to get are little "flub-ups" with the games opening screens until you reach the Menu screen, Other than that, I have not noticed ANY problems. Frame-rate for me is even nice at 1920 resolution, and all I have is a laptop with an Nvidia 512MB Video Card. So I don't imagine anyone having problems with this as most gamers have PCs with much more power than me.
Some of these pics are a tad Darker than my suggested setting of having the in-game Brightness set to 10, but not overly dark for a game this grim I guess. If things are too dark for you, then try removing or replacing the color correction palette, and adjust your brightness accordingly.
Updated Note:These pics were taken with the ENB screenshot, which as it turns out, does not seem to account for in-game brightness correction (at least not for this game, as every time I take a pic using it, they always look much darker than when I am actually playing) so that is why they seem a bit overly dark.
