Obviously, it was put in to make the game more challenging and frightening, but in the end it just doesn't work and ends up being an annoying & unnecessary feature. It's like the protagonist is constipated or both of his or her legs are broken. The walking speed of the player character is slow, sluggishly-paced and unrealistic. The gameplay itself is not very well thought out. It was later twisted into many different and hilarious memes, but many still reinforce its dark roots of fictional horror. For those who don't know: Slenderman is a mythical creature that was formed by the dark depths of the internets, as part of a photoshop contest which aimed to scare gullible individuals using digitally altered photos with disturbing backstories behind them. Your goal is to collect eight pages of notes scattered throughout this woodland area, whilst trying your best to evade a dark entity known only as 'Slenderman'. The only item you have with you is a flashlight, yet even that has its limitations. You play as someone, and that someone is stuck in a forest during a pitch black night. You play as… I don't really know who you play as, but that doesn't really matter.
The gameplay of the game is a rather simple idea that has plenty of potential, but ends up being terribly executed. However, if you really want to try it because you're wondering if it could scare you, then feel free to read on and find out if it will. Sadly, this game has almost no redeeming qualities. My expectations were not that high I know that an indie game, made by one person, has certain disadvantages due to resource & budget limitations. Unfortunately, I was thoroughly disappointed with what I experienced. I thought I'd launch it up and play it once before recording anything - just to see what I actually have to do, what I'm up against, etc. I thought it was a good idea, agreed and downloaded the free indie title called "Slender". He wanted me to play it and see my reactions, assuming that it would be hilarious to watch. Like many other people, I heard about this game when it was recommended to me by a friend. Just a quick notice: this review is slightly different from my usual work. By Bamul | Review Date: September 16, 2012
