Install Instructions
This preset is based on "SHINYBACON - Pastel dreams" with some slight tweaks.
Here's their original preset: https://www.tumblr.com/shinybacon/689783298679013376/reshadegshade-preset-pastel-dreams-by

Song Used: Dan Mason ダン·メイソン - Love at First Sight

Install Instructions:
1) Download Reshade WITH FULL ADD-ON SUPPORT: https://reshade.me/#download
2) Download the preset and addons: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xMTEtTDqee8Gcl-z2wH-U7KUn0KVuF_F?usp=sharing
3) Open Reshade and select ParadiseKiller.exe from the game directory.
(If you don't know where it is, in your Steam library right-click the game and go to Manage then Browse local files.)
4) Next, select Direct X 10/11/12.
5) Click on browse and choose the downloaded "Paradise Killer Reshade.ini" file.
6) Then click next and it's going to install the shaders.
7) Open the Game Directory and navigate to ParadiseKiller > ParadiseKiller > Binaries > Win64 and place both "ReshadeEffectShaderToggler" files in that folder.
8) Now launch the game and shaders should only affect the 3D environment.

FYI, the shaders do not affect the User Interface, it remains unchanged.

If you generally aren't a fan of the blurry look or high lightness then turn off Bloom and the original sharpness of the game will return.
Paradise Killer Reshade.ini
In the case that the google drive link should not work anymore, i will paste the ini text here.
FYI, the addon is the ReshadeEffectShaderToggler (REST).

@cosmicOccurrence seems like there is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOQUvk98fB8
I don't have a steam deck to check myself but maybe you can get this to work.

Is there anyway this works for Steam Deck?
