Spookality 2024
Amid twisting doorways, a dungeon maze,
VRRat hovers in a bubbling haze.
In his paws, a flask of green,
He whispers softly, "October 14th..."
The liquid stirs, begins to rise!
“It’s ALIVE!” he cheers with sparkling eyes.
The ritual complete, the spell is cast—
Spookality 2024 is a continuation of the annual Halloween-themed jam held by VRChat. Highlighting creators on VRChat on the Main Menu and in the VRChat home world.
