Slender: The Eight Pages
Slender: The Eight Pages, formerly known simply as Slender, is a free download indie-developed first-person survival horror video game released in June 2012 as a beta for Microsoft Windows and OS X, utilizing the Unity engine. The game is based on the fakeloric figure known as Slender Man.
Slender: The Eight Pages is set in the middle of a forest during night and is played from a first person perspective. The player's objective is to collect eight pages located in various areas of the forest while avoiding the Slender Man, a faceless humanoid entity. The player is equipped with only a flashlight to see through the dark; it has limited battery life and will eventually shut down permanently if left on for an extended period of time. The player character also has limited stamina as running will tire out the character and decrease their maximum walking speed. Slender Man occasionally appears in the player's field of vision, and game over occurs if the player stares at Slender Man too long or remains idle for too long. As the player collects pages, the fog in the forest grows thicker and Slender Man appears closer to the player character.
A sequel to Slender: The Eight Pages, entitled Slender: The Arrival, is currently in development by ParsecProductions and Blue Isle Studios. Little is known about what the game will include, but based on information released on the website, players can expect "more levels, improved visuals, and an engaging storyline." IGN has described it as "a simple, devastatingly effective game of harrowing escape.
