IX Nocturne – Night ReShade Preset
🌙 Module Features
This ReShade preset is specially designed for "Elden's Circle" to solve the problem of the game's colors being too bright and lacking in realism. Through carefully adjusted color parameters, it brings charming nighttime visual effects to the entire game world.
🎨 Color adjustment concept
The human eye's ability to perceive colors decreases when the ambient light is insufficient. This preset is based on this principle, reducing the brightness of game colors and pursuing a more realistic nighttime look and feel. At the same time, as an aesthetic choice, red was set to be a more prominent color.
🔥 Visual Highlights
- **Blood Effect**: The red color is more vivid and prominent
- **Fire special effects**: The firelight is particularly eye-catching in the night environment
- **VERSATILITY**: Suitable for any game scenario, whether day, night, cave or dungeon
👁️ Comfort considerations
The creator suffers from photophobia and doesn't like ReShade presets that are too dark. Therefore, while pursuing the nighttime effect, this module also pays attention to preventing excessive glare and preventing the environment from being too dark.
💡 *Note: The darkest places still need lantern lighting*
🖥️ Hardware recommendations
A monitor with good color performance is recommended for best results

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
