*Slender* is a first person horror game where your only goal is to find 8
manuscripts about the Slender Man, a paranormal creature. The myth of Slender
was in fact one of the inspirations behind the 1999 indie horror film Blair
Witch Project and has also been popularized as an internet meme. The story is
that Slender Man is a mythical creature often depicted as a tall, thin figure
wearing a black suit and a blank face. According to legend, he can stretch or
shorten his arms at will and has tentacle-like appendages on his back.
Slender Man can cause memory loss, insomnia, paranoia, coughing fits
(nicknamed "slendersickness"), photographic and video distortions and can
teleport at will. The basic premise of the game is the more directly you come
in contact with the Slender Man, the faster your sanity drains. You therefore
have to careful not to look at the enemy for too long and remember that your
flashlight has a limited battery so you must turn it off from time to time to
save it. Also, the more you sprint, the lower your maximum stamina becomes,
so you must sprint only when you need to. The controls to the game are
simple: * Mouse -- Look around W,A,S & D -- Move Left Shift -- Sprint Left
Mouse Click -- Pick up pages Right Mouse Click -- Flashlight Q & E -- Zoom
in/out * Slender does well in creating quite a creepy atmosphere for a very
basic game. It feels like just you, your torch and the sound of crickets
chirping as you fumble your way through the forest looking for manuscripts.
However, the overall aim of collecting 8 pages of the manuscript is quite
limited and so the gameplay is a bit limited. Note that you'll need WinZip or
WinRAR to unpack this Slender game download. *Slender is an eerie horror game
that's well worth trying whether or not you've ever heard of the Slender Man
myth.*Download *Slender 0.9.1 Beta* in Softonic
