A custom ReShade preset for How to Fish — richer lighting, deeper colour, and almost no performance cost.
Overview
ReLight is a hand-tuned post-processing preset built to make How to Fish look the way it should — without turning your framerate into a slideshow. Every effect was picked and balanced by hand, then dialled back until the cost was negligible.
| Enhanced visuals | Improved lighting, contrast and colour depth |
| Barely felt | Tuned for minimal performance impact |
| Fully adjustable | Every setting can be tweaked live, in-game |
| Toggle anytime | One key on, one key off |
Requirements
- ReShade — free, open source post-processing injector

Troubleshooting
ReLight doesn't appear in the preset list
Make sure you pasted the ReLight file itself into the game folder, not the extracted folder containing it.
The overlay won't open
Confirm ReShade was installed against How to Fish.exe and that you selected DirectX 10/11/12 during setup.
Effects are missing or show errors Re-run the ReShade setup and make sure all shaders are installed (Uncheck All → Check All).
Wrong game folder If your Steam library is on another drive, replace the path above with your own install location.
Uninstalling
Delete the ReLight file from the game folder to remove the preset. To remove ReShade entirely, re-run the ReShade setup, select How to Fish.exe, and choose Uninstall.
