There's a strong hint of Blair Witch in the videos to be found on YouTube, and the number of followers suggests that this is a cult that provides a rich vein for developers of horror games.

The Slender Man meme has proliferated virally, and the concept of this impossibly tall, thin and faceless figure, glimpsed as a black shadow in the corner of the eye has undeniable horror potential. Not wishing to spoil the game for fans of the genre I'll say that there is a way to prolong your survival, but I'll leave you to work out what it is. On the second try I was slightly more successful I found two of the eight pages before the overweight Slender Man had his supernatural way. OK, that can't be it, can it? Unfortunately, yes it can. Slender: The Eight Pages is a short horror game in which you're alone in a dark wood, searching for messages scattered around the trackless forest.Īfter ten minutes of trudging around the forest, the screen fizzled and a rather portly, monochrome figure appeared for a moment.
