In terms of gameplay mechanics, there's not a whole lot to learn to properly play Slender.

It's that distinct sense of atmosphere that has made Slender: The Eight Pages a popular choice for Let's Play videos. The results are a lo-fi approach to horror game design that largely strips out character development in lieu of an experience that plays like a surrealist dream sequence. This indie survival horror game strips the genre down to the basics, and the sense of surprise that elicits creates a sense of tension that few other horror games can manage. The Slender Man myth may have been born in the domain of creepypasta stories, but Slender: The Eight Pages really brought the character to life in perhaps the most vivid manner yet.
