Slender seems to have cropped up recently due to a number of prominent YouTubers picking it up as the perfect “Let’s Play” game. You spawn in first person, in a pitch black forest with only your torch to light your way. The game is almost completely silent other than your quiet breathing, and soft footfalls – both of which gradually get louder and more frantic as you progress through the game.
The idea is to collect pages from a notebook. These will be stapled to trees, abandoned cars and other landmarks across the map – eight in total. Each time you pick up a page the music will build to ramp-up the tension. Picking up pages or excessive running also alerts your presence to the antagonist of the piece – the eponymous Slenderman.
