Slender: the eight pages review

You know, if you ever wanted to freak me out, you could do one of the following:

Show me this picture,

Or this one,

Or you could be truly evil and make me play this game.

Now I going to tell you right now, this thing horrifies me.

Now this probably says some weird things about me, like the fact that I can get scared of a really tall guy. I mean what's scary about this guy anyway? Maybe the fact that he follows you everywhere! I also don't know why it's really easy to get invested in a ten minute game, but I did.

If you don't know already, Slender the eight pages is a game based on an internet rumor, based on a fake monster, that was based on a online horror picture contest.

If you ask me it's all fake, and way up there with Bigfoot footage, and alien sightings. But, I'm getting a little off topic.

In Slender, you play as who I assume is a little kid, who is running around in a gated forest in at night for some reason, trying to collect eight pieces of paper. This kid must be really dumb to be running around at night in a forest, it's like he's begging for trouble. Each page is hidden in various landmarks scattered around the map.

As you begin to collect the pieces of paper the fore-mention Slender man will be start playing a stupid game of cat and mouse, by appearing in front of you and standing there. When this happens your screen you begin to fizz up like a static TV.

So scary!

If you look at Slender for too long he appears directly in front of you and the screen fades to black.

So that's pretty much it. You do have a flash light that goes out after a while, and a sprint that runs out. The sound is just plain creepy and sends chills down my spine just thinking about it. But it's also just a bunch of jump scares, jump scares are fine but only in short bursts. After that they just seem stupid. I can't really tell you that shouldn't play this game because it's free, and it only takes ten minutes. I don't really know what to rate this game so it's going to be undefined for the time being.

Have... Oh my gosh that's creepy!
