Slender(Scary indie game you should play)

biofrost

Slender is a pretty unique game, your only goal is to collect 8 pages and all you have is a flash light. The problem is the Slender man gets closer and closer after every page you collect. Look at him for to long and you die.

This has been once of scariest experiences I have had.

fuck this!

biofrost

I know the feeling. I said fuck this and had my fiancee play while I watched. We both ended up screaming like little kids.

Shiniku

Super simple but surprisingly effective. Collected 3 pages before saying "Fuck it".

Can't help but feel a little childish when catching a glimpse of a crappy low-poly model makes me jump out of my seat.

Stromberg90

Yeah, yeah... watched a video of one guy playing it one day and he did not like it to much
I will never play this game myself, but I might trick some friends of me into playing it, now that we are done with amnesia.

haiddasalami

got 4 pages but couldnt find anymore

biofrost

I know, I hope they get together a larger team to really push the graphical side of it but keep the same gameplay. If it can scare me this much, I can't imagine how scary it would be with better graphics.

Lamont

It would be awesome to do this in UDK, or re-done in Unity. I got to two pages and said "fuck it".

haha, yea, I got this a little while back. Still haven't played it since the first time I saw that dude and said "NOPE!"

Stinger88

Got 4 pages and was looking at the 5th and suddenly the camera turned to look at the slender dude and I died. No warning or anything. Just died and there was no way of stopping it as I couldn't look away. Nice game though for what it is.

I think if the slender guy touches you you lose (and the camera looks at him)

yeah same happened here
the mood is good, it gave me the chills but the artquality makes it a little less immersive

Anuxinamoon

Yeah 2 pages, fuck that. Screaming as quietly as I could; Alt+F4 that bad boy.

Joopson

I kept hoping this wasn't going to end like "Stay Alive"....

To be honest, I started getting scared when I got into the game. Once I found the first page and the sound start playing, my heart was pounding and I got really hot haha. Needless to say, I didn't even see Slenderman cause I got too scared. I'll have to try it again when I have a few drinks in me.

PhattyEwok

Gave this a whirl and can't believe how much more terrifying it is playing versus watching. Those low poly crap visuals still scare the shit out of me.

GarageBay9

...I'll pass.

Blood pressure is bad enough.

If you turn off the sound of Slender-man's Piano everytime you see him, it's actually not that scary, sure, moment jump scary but which games doesn't do that?

I think it's the fact that game is predictably designed which brings it down and they make it up with moment scares more then anything, this is especially true for the Bathroom area, "Oh, looks I'm at page 1 or 7, and there is a good chance, no matter what, Mr. Slender will appear infront of the tight door way and get me killed because I can't avoid him, what's that? Look away? Yeah, if his next to you, you still get hallowed out mate."

Also, not even a quick write up ending from a Wiki or something once you get the full pages? "Cops came in next day, and found the body of a man, which was hallowed out in the forest, the they couldn't find the rest of the organs...also, another thing they found was a piece of black cloth..." the end, just give me something for spending so much time looking for the pieces of papers and dieing horrible death over and over again, if the Atmosphere is what I'm looking for, I can easily recreate it by shutting off all the lights in my house, hiding in the closet, take Melatonin, passing out, waking up hazy with only a tiny torchlight at 3AM and lets see trying to get out of your closet then.

aww sound, i couldnt understand youre scared because no speakers

chrisradsby

I love scary games...I hate them to death too when they make me stare at a door-opening for 10 minutes too scared to move. ^^

Adam L. Gray

Surely this can't be much worse than say FEAR or anything else like that though, no? Gonna give this one a try as well :x

I'm not easily scared, so when I actually do find something scary I sure hate it, and that's why I love it, lol

Adam L. Gray

Right, at first this thing was more annoying if anything, he were merely a bit of a hindrance, and the bathroom thing was mean

So gave it another go, and this time he were in the way so that I couldn't pick up a note, kept going, and end up not being able to find any darn notes.

Eventually though I managed to pick some up, and the change in music made you rather stressed out, as you got the feeling time was of importance, but still not that scared.

Now, picked up the fifth note, and the guy was behind me constantly, so gave the feeling he's actually running after you this time, which was quite scary really, so I bolted. Kept running, turned around, hmm, none there, keep running and then DEAD! So, for a moment I were moderately scared, but it did leave a bitter annoyed taste, thinking, can you actually finish this, or is it set up to end at the fifth, and/or is it time based?

But overall, quite good, better graphics and more foliage and stuff would've helped quite a bit though.. and him moving instead of just standing still, duh! Him standing behind a rock and me occasionally peeking out to have a look at his face just made him feel silly

Darkness + go boo = scary? This felt like a long drawn out thrill ride that started with me thinking "there's a paper stuck to one of these damn trees, isn't there?". It ended with slender man just magically catching me as I ran about, despite how the times I had run just past him. (also, why does the screen get static for looking at him? big disconnect.)

Really, as far as an indie game goes, it's alright really. So don't want to clank down on it, but if you want a proper goodie run, then go for fear (1 & 2) the third one doesn't seem to be that good, but dunno :x

rooster

I wonder if it was inspired by Sherlock Holmes?

Adam, that's because lith didn't make 3.

Shiniku

Alright, so last night I decided to go for a walk. I was about 9:30 and pretty dark. I go into a nearby city park. I think it's supposed to be closed after dusk but a bunch of people still walk around there after dark. Anyway, after I walk around a bit, I glance backward, and out of the corner of my eye I see a tall man standing about 20 feet behind me. So I started running. Okay, I felt stupid afterwards, obviously it was just some dude walking around at the park.

This game has made me paranoid, haha.
