Presets

Lost Tape Shader ships 13 hand-tuned presets. Select them with the profile button at the top of Shader Pack Settings.

Every preset sets all options — one click always produces a complete, consistent look with no leftovers from the previous preset.

Overview

Preset	Mood	Standout traits
Lost Tape (default)	Balanced analog horror	Fog, sickly green tint, grain, light PSX wobble
Director's Cut	Dark & heavy	Dense fog, fully swallowed sky, scanlines
Verity	Grim, glitchy	Very dark, crushed blacks, VHS glitch, strong shadows
Backrooms	Wrong & washed out	Yellow tint, faded blacks, fluorescent flicker, soft flat shadows
VHS Tape	Noisy cassette	Scanlines, wobble, sepia, strong chromatic aberration
Camcorder '98	Found footage	Clear-ish shaky image, brighter nights, heavy vignette
PSX Horror	PS1 survival horror	Pixelation, 16 colors, hard shadows, fog at the camera
Silent Fog	Silent-Hill	White-grey total fog, very soft shadows, intense god rays
Dead Channel	Broadcast dread	Cold blue, deep dark, heavy vignette and grain
Old Film	Pure nostalgia	Strong sepia, desaturated, heavy grain, soft light
Sunless	ARG endgame	No sun, no moon — but the light shafts keep falling
Retro Arcade	Fun, no horror	Full colors, pixels + dithering, barely any fog
Faint Signal	Subtle	Light dread for normal survival play

Verity and Dead Channel raise torch brightness to 1.5 so light sources punch through the darkness.
PSX Horror is the only preset with vertex snapping on mobs — authentic PS1 jitter. Turn off Snap Mobs/Entities under Retro / PSX if modded round entities look deformed.
Sunless hides both sun and moon while keeping volumetric light at full strength with maximum shadow-streak contrast — light with no source.
Retro Arcade and Faint Signal are meant for actually playing the game; everything else prioritizes atmosphere.
