Watching Night Fog — Halloween Horror Fog for VRChat | Hide in the Fog · Dead Forest · Eyes & Blood Moon | 3 Colors · Trees & Eyes On/Off · Tree & Eye Count

🎃 A red fog for Halloween nights. It lies around your feet, full of eyes, and a dead forest grows out of the ground around you. Turn on "Hide in fog" and the fog rises over you until you are gone, and a blood moon with an eye comes up behind you.

EVERYTHING IN THE MENU ("Night Fog")
• Fog — the whole effect on / off (on when you first wear it, remembered)
• Hide in fog — raises and lowers the fog (always starts lowered)
• Trees — the dead forest on / off (on to start, remembered)
• Tree count — a radial: how many trees stand, 0% (none) to 100% (a dense forest), starts at 50% (remembered)
• Eyes — the eyes in the fog and on the trees on / off; the moon stays (on to start, remembered)
• Eye count — a radial: how many eyes. 50% is the usual, 100% twice as many, 0% none; starts at 50% (remembered)

RAISE AND LOWER THE FOG (Hide in fog)
• ON — the fog rises from your feet to about 2.1 m in 3 seconds and hides you completely. Only the eyes look out.
• OFF — it sinks back down to your feet and you appear again.
• The blood moon rises and sinks with it. The forest has its own toggle, so you can hide with or without the trees.

THE FOG
✨ It lies about 1.3 m around your feet and creeps slowly with the wind; its billows roll and lift off at the top
✨ Walk and it stays on the ground: it gathers around you where you step, trails behind you and breaks up into wisps
✨ Red light streams up behind your back

THE EYES
✨ 10 eyes in the fog open, look around and fade back into it (20 at Eye count 100%)
✨ Walk and they fall behind you too: each one opens near you, stays on the ground as you pass, closes behind you, and a new one opens
✨ 39 more eyes hang from the branches and sit in the trunks (71 at Eye count 100%)
✨ Look straight at an eye and it looks back at you
✨ A blood moon with a slit eye rises in the sky behind you, under drifting cloud

THE DEAD FOREST
✨ The trees grow up from their roots with glowing tips, and sink back into the ground when you turn them off
✨ The forest stays on the ground: walk, and the trees ahead rise out of the ground while the ones behind you sink back into it
✨ No trees grow within about 1.5 m of you, so they don't get in your way

GOOD TO KNOW
• Lots of eyes: it is meant to look a little creepy.
• The moon is drawn about 7 m behind you, so in a small room the walls can hide it.
• People who block custom shaders in their Safety settings won't see the effect.
• The trail follows VRChat's own movement speed (VelocityX / VelocityZ), so it adds no synced parameters.

• Editing is fine
• Please don't redistribute or resell the files, edited or not

AI DISCLOSURE (AI-Assisted)
