You play as a woman in the woods at night being stalked by Slenderman. Suffice to say it manages to be horrifying while having a very simple premise: Because it’s so short & simplistic a game, I’m not going to give a full review. Slender is a first-person horror game that goes easy on the controls & heavy on the atmosphere. For my first Gamer Tip segment, I picked an Indie game that, despite being less than a month old, has already seen a tremendous surge in popularity. If you really want a good scare for free, then turn off the lights and download 'Slender.' Afterward, you'll sleep with the lights on and avoid evening strolls through the woods.Because I probably won’t be getting to do any gaming this coming week due to having to help teach Vacation Bible School, I thought I would try a new type of post giving tips on games that seem to give others trouble.

Even after collecting the pages, you must stay in the forest until the Slender Man captures you. At the time of this review, there really is no endgame. The point of the game is to collect eight pages hidden at different landmarks, all while the Slender Man stalks you from behind. Gameplay - The game lacks a solid explanation of why you're in the forest, but it makes up for it with genuine scares and a creepy atmosphere. Clicking the right mouse button toggles the flashlight on and off, and left clicking picks up the pages found at various locations in the game. Use the W-A-S-D keys to walk, and move the mouse to view the surroundings. The Slender Man stalks unsuspecting children and the occasional video game player who happens to be walking through the forest at night armed only with a flashlight.Ĭontrols - Controlling the character is quite simple. His origins are unknown however, he induces fear in the hearts of all those who seem him with his outstretched limbs and featureless face. As with other dangerously spooky characters from urban legends, the Slender Man looks and plays the mysterious role very well. The game runs on both Windows and Mac and is absolutely free to play.īackstory - Developed at the Something Awful forums in the thread entitled ' Create Paranormal Images', Slender Man took shape. If you're a fan of 'The Blair Witch Project' and survival horror video games such as 'Silent Hill' and 'Siren,' then get ready for the scare of your life when you play 'Slender,' a horror video game created by Parsec Productions.

WARNING - This game is not for the faint of heart.
