Slender game - PURE SURVIVAL HORROR!!!

[NumberOneSon]

I tried out this PC game just a few days ago after reading an article about it on IGN, and boy is it absolutely terrifying! There's no gore, no weapons, no violence - just 100% skin-crawling atmosphere.

It’s also free, short, and easy to play. I liked it so much that I made a faux-movie trailer for it. It’s definitely one of those games you play in the dark with a good pair of headphones, lol.

Ok, downloaded it and first round through, initial impressions.
1) you must play it with sound, without it, very boring.
2) moment is too slow for me, also I'd like a way to adjust the gamma, normally my monitors are set quite dark, so the game was excessively dark, and you really can't see anything.
3) I do like that their is no "Install" and that you can just run it from the folder you unzip it to.

Over all, didn't care for it.

I didn't care for it either. It was far too slow and I didn't find the "slender man" scary at all. I actually laughed when I first saw him.

SCP is certainly more nerve racking than Slender Man. It's also free but gets equally boring.

Hey, that's cool. Some people find the game terrifying, others not so much. It reminds of me of the way people reacted to the first Blair Witch; some loved it, others hated it. I think I liked Slender for some of the same reasons I liked BW; it's all about build-up and atmosphere.

Keep in mind, the game was created by one guy, not a studio, and he only created it in order to practice using a game engine or something along those lines. He never intended for it to go viral. There's a preexisting Slenderman mythos that existed on YouTube, I just haven't looked into it much.

Hah. I've seen YouTube videos of people play that game. Haven't seen anyone beat the game. I love Slenderman, he's my favorite CreepyPasta original character.

It looks like the guy who made Slender is kicking things up a notch; there is now going to be a Slender mod made using the Source engine, and it's coming out next year.

If the mod looks anything like the pic below, it should be pretty awesome.

I've seen gameplay vids too. I find the reactions absolutley hilarious. Horror games really aren't my type of games though. But maybe someone should try and play red light, green light with Mr. Slender.

The only thing I would recommend them to do is make more levels. Like a really spooky house.

I love this game. lol

If you play a survival/horror game without the sound, you're missing half the experience. Why would you do that?

The Slender game has now gotten the attention of the guys at HISHE; their mash up of The Hunger Games and Slender is hilarious! Check it out.

I've taken a quick look and I think it might be one of those games I'll give a go. Normally I'm not into PC games but.......?
