Paradoxical, and a little frustrating – especially if you are keen to get a glimpse of what you're meant to be running away from. There is a strange paradox in that the only way to stop the relentless onslaught of the Slender Man is to look at him, but if you look at him for too long you will die. The sense of threat and anticipation is built upon through the clever use of soundscapes. While there is an element of fear to the game, the sense of challenge is diminished by the fact that there is only one enemy to avoid – and the original Slender Man stories are far more terrifying than anything game manages to conjure up. There are effectively eight levels to work through and there is no real variety in what you need to do - the difficulty level just increases. This mythical creature is reported as ranging from six to sixteen feet tall. This being began as an Internet rumor and grew from there.

Slenderman doesn’t have a generations-old backlog of sightings and stories.

Yes, there is the element of suspense to make things a little more interesting, but at its heart, this is an incredibly simple game with very limited gameplay. Or, save the creepy trip to the woods, and download Slender: the Eight Pages first-person survival horror game instead. Unfortunately, to cut to the chase, it's a bit boring.
