Slender is a first-person horror game where your sole purpose is to find eight manuscripts of Slender Man - a paranormal being. The following is a previous game called Slenderman, which was based on a similar theme but was nowhere near as scary or successful.

How to play (function () {('app-view-page-desktop');});

The Slender myth simply starts as a rumor and has also been popularized as an internet meme. The story is that Slender Man is a mythical creature, often portrayed as a tall slender figure dressed in a black suit and a white face.

According to legend, Slenderman can extend or shorten his arms at will, and there are attachments that resemble tentacles on his back. A slim person can cause memory loss, insomnia, paranoia, cough (a "sickness" nickname), photo and video disorders, and may teleport at will.

The basic premise of the game is that the more directly you come in contact with the Thin Man, the faster your sanity will disappear. Therefore, be careful not to look at the enemy for too long and remember that your flashlight has a limited battery, so you should turn it off from time to time to keep it. What's more, the more you go for a sprint, the lower your endurance is, so you only need to sprint when needed.

Is it scary?

Slender does a good job of creating a pretty scary atmosphere for a very basic game. It feels as if you, your torch and the sound of crickets will scream as you walk around in the woods looking for manuscripts. However, the overall goal of collecting 8 pages of the manuscript is quite limited and therefore the game is a bit limited.

Game controls are simple:

Mouse - look around

W, A, S D - Move

Left lap - sprint

Left-click - select pages

Right-click a flashlight

Q E - increase / decrease

Since Slender was originally launched, there have been several spinophytes of varying degrees. We tested them on Softonic staff to see which one is the most daunting, so make sure you get there:

conclusion

Slender is a sinister horror game worth trying, whether or not you've heard of the Slender Man myth.

A subtitle has been added to the game ("Eight Pages") to distinguish it from future versions.

The main menu was improved and music was added. It now also contains links to information about Slender Man and YouTube series.

Several light sources were added (unlocked after winning the match once).

Added shadows (not particularly noticeable except in illuminated areas).

Your jogging speed gradually increases as more pages come together.

Cooling removed for jogging / sprint endurance and reduced endurance drainage. when

start running / sprinting, but it immediately takes up 5% of your stamina. This also allows you to run

sprint for a much longer period of time, but if you do a little push on the jog / sprint button, you can cause endurance

to drain very quickly (effectively getting rid of former exploits).

The maximum distance you can see decreases as you gather more pages; it is to keep the challenge that way

for people who have missed. For the same reason, shadow distance can no longer be turned off.

Added an option to the menu to automatically skip the intro.

Pause function isadded, but you can only pause if there is no static version (which will not allow you to pause the game

in response to seeing a slender man).

An error has been fixed where a flashlight is trying to lighta page on the other side of the wall.
