The Camera Fog setting acts a lot like a rendering distance, setting far to 10000 will almost completely eliminate it. Note that too high values can ruin the game's atmosphere.

Mods

Ultimate Edition acts as a compilation pack of several (now abandoned) mods that add new items and SCPs to the game. Also adds some that were cut from the official game prior to release: effectively an unofficial expansion.

This game has been known to work on Mac and Linux using Wine. An old pre-wrapped version for Mac is available here or here; replacing outdated game components with latest and/or custom ones should be strait forward, though the version of Wine included isn't guaranteed to run on latest Macs. Additionally a tutorial for wrapping it yourself can be found here.
