The myth of the Slender Man doesn't appear to have its roots in any reality and instead started out as simply a rumor which has now spread like wildfire thanks to the Internet. Unfortunately, while this one shares the strong atmosphere of previous attempts, it falls down in the same ways as other games, in that it fails to provide any meaningful gameplay to back up its admittedly strong sense of brooding terror. 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.Slender: The Eight Pages is another low-budget indie title that takes the Slender Man myth as its inspiration and attempts to weave it into a survival horror game.
