Is That The Slender Man Over There?

[Coach Morrison]

I'm more excited by the fact the story was made the Marble Hornets [http://www.youtube.com/user/MarbleHornets] guys. That'll be interesting. But I wonder if there will be more than one entity. If you look at all the Youtube series, there's plenty different monsters to be freaked out by.

So can we please get a Rake cameo?

Well from the trailer that came out a while ago you could clearly see jeff the killer, so thats at least something. Also if I was playing the game looking for slenderman, and I saw the rake doing it's crawl from everymanhybrid I would need a new pair of pants.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Well it certainly look more polish and refine but other than that the same free game to download.

 

[Saxnot]

I just don't understand why people find slenderman so great. It's a boogeyman thought up by the internet. That makes it doubly not-scary. This game just has you running about a forest picking up random stuff until a man in a suit finds you. That isn't horror, that's running from the IRS.

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

Kinda sad how Slenderman is the only thing of note to enter the Public Domain in the last decade.

 

[Something Amyss]

I really didn't get the hype for the game, everyone was doing Let's Play videos of it and screaming like sissies but it really wasn't particularly scary.

Fads can be quite fadlike on occasion.

Also, I can't be the only one that was bothered by the angle the arm was holding the flashlight, right? I mean it looks like his/her's shoulders are taller than where the camera is.

Given the FPP is dominated by mutants whose faces are either mounted in their chest or horribly fused to their gun arm, how did you even notice that? I mean, yeah, it's off, but it seems less off than just about every other first person game ever.

Well it certainly look more polish and refine but other than that the same free game to download.

I'm not sure what makes a game Polish.

So this is the indie horror game that has everyone gushing with orgasmic praise?
That's not scary... that's just aggravating. All it does is startle you from time to time, which is something I particularly hate, and nobody waves their flashlight about like that while walking, especially not while they remain unmolested by monsters. Bloody hell, it took all of 30 seconds of the cone of light wavering back and forth for me to feel the distant onset of a headache building behind my eyes.
Fuck that, I'll go back to Silent Hill for my occasional horror fix.

 

[saintdane05]

But can I run faster then two inches per hour? Do I have a flashlight that behaves like a flashlight? Is there more objectives than, "Wander around and pray you find something?"

 

[Jayemsal]

and now cue the million of people making lets plays of this game while screaming pretending to be scared and making fucking retarded noises like the attention whores they are.

Fixed that for you.
But yeah, I can't see this game having an all too positive effect on my "not wanting to kill people" scale.

You're view of people who do LPs of Slender Man games seems rather... narrow.

Slender is nothing more than an entire game based around that soundtrack sting you hear when someone turns a medicine cabinet mirror and the killer is behind them.


Thats the entire game.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

Anyone know if it will get a Steam release?

 

[V1rax]

It's 5 bucks so I'm not even second guessing this purchase.

 

[Skops]

I just hope they have more to offer than a Forest again. Give me a level that's an abandoned Hospital and I have to make it down 13 floors running away from from SlenderMan, or some equivelent.

 

[crimson sickle2]

I do not like the way this version fucks with the camera. The "snow" was perfectly fine. Once the camera starts jumping around like that it is hard to tell what is going on. I'm not paying 5 dollars to be hindered in game play.

Agreed, I couldn't tell what was going on pass the seven minute mark. Also, it seems kind of funny how Slenderman can now be walked around and it seems the player only loses if they don't jerk the camera in a random direction.

 

[SweetLiquidSnake]

This thread reminded me that I had a Slenderman moment on Saturday.

I was driving to the bar around 10ish and it was super dark outside. I'm passing a bus stop I see this figure, wearing black pants, a slim black jacket (it's winter here), who is freakishly tall, and had an all white head. Pulling up I literally shat a brick and thought to myself HE'S REAL!?!?!

but when I pulled up closer I realized that it was just some guy, wearing all black and his hood was black but the trim on his hood was made of white fur and it was bundled so tight it covered most of his face (almost like Kenny) so from far away it looked just like Slenderman. Freaky shit!

 

[jdogtwodolla]

I hope they incorporate more than just "He gets you!" into the game. Perhaps more lore showcasing in lieu of a normal story mode because they probably can't pull that off? Didn't Slender kidnap children?

I'm more excited by the fact the story was made the Marble Hornets [http://www.youtube.com/user/MarbleHornets] guys.

Wait, the game is actually going to have a story? Now I'm interested.

 

[Fishcactus]

Well I hope slender man looks better in it. In the original he looked like an inflatable arm flailing tube man.

This. Seriously. The first time I saw Slenderman in the original I thought he was a mock version put there to trick you. Then I died.

It looks interesting enough, and it's only $5.

 

[weirdee]

I really didn't get the hype for the game, everyone was doing Let's Play videos of it and screaming like sissies but it really wasn't particularly scary.

well it was just a one off that the guy made for fun that exploded out of the hype barrel

so here's a refined version with actual graphics because people wanted one, or something

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

"We can't say much more right now without ruining the story,"

What? What story?
It looks the same as the first one with beefed-up visuals and sound, which is great, don't get me wrong, but WHAT STORY?

 

[Mossberg Shotty]

He doesn't look very slender, kinda heavyset to be honest. Am I the only one whos bothered by this?

 

[Darks63]

I sure hope they some stuff since they beat the game in the vid you posted and you basically see all it has to offer. To the devs less is more, plus why is slender black when he takes you?
