Strangling Gaze (縊視) — Vision-Closing Forbidden Art [VRChat / Modular Avatar]

The vision of those nearby closes, until only the caster remains.

A forbidden art for VRChat avatars. Turn it on from the menu, and the vision of everyone within 12 m of you closes in over about 30 seconds, until only you remain.

Sequence

1. The eyes light — The caster's eyes glow red.
2. Narrowing — Color drains from the vision of those nearby. It sinks into red, blurs, and narrows toward the caster, pulsing faintly with a heartbeat.
3. Only the caster remains — In about 30 seconds it closes completely, leaving only the caster visible. It holds until turned off.
4. Release — Turn it off and vision returns over about 2 seconds.

Features

• Distance decides it: only people within 12 m of the caster are affected (default; adjustable in the Inspector).
• Adjust the strength with 「強さ」 (Strength) in the menu.
• You are not affected. Turn on 「自分にもかかる」 (Affect myself) to try it yourself.
• People around you also see the red eyes and hear the sound.
• One-click install from the Tools menu.
• Inspector settings: eye light color, size and position, range, sound effects on/off and volume.

Photosensitivity and VR sickness

• No flickering. The darkening and narrowing progress slowly.
• No screen shake.
• Not visible to VRChat mirrors.
