Beautiful scenery (especially the cave chapter) but that' wasn't what really got me. It's the musical cue's, the sudden anecdotes, the strange and out of place objects and writings, the disapearing silhouette, ... It makes for an amazing, gripping atmosphere. Something I rarely experience otherwise.

It's only an experiment though. It has it's flaws: I found the ending not so impressive as the rest, there was only one way to travel although a large part was modeled, Eventhough I loved it I doubt I'll play it a second time, ...

Perfectly sums up my feelings too. I really enjoyed it, but if I ever play it again it will be a long time from now.

In the beginning you are all meh that's not scary, but it really gets under your skin. You have to collect 8 notes about 'the Slender Man', after you find the first he will start stalking you. It's really nerve-wracking

Oooh great find. I've known about the Slender Man for quite some time. I love the fake mythology erected around it. The photo's, the youtube clips, the journal ... I'm definatly going to give this one a try.

Keep an extra pair of underwear ready it's really unsettling. It's all the more fun if you are familiar with fake mythology, soooooo sinister

Why... Why Fraggony? Why did you have to introduce me to the idea of the slender man? I'm already paranoid enough to have stopped my moonlight jaunts through the woods, but now, well I won't even be outside after 6 pm now. Even the walk to my car to get groceries was terrifying. He's following me, as are the silent and the weeping angels, all things introduced by that one link.

In all seriousness though, that is terrifying, and if I hadn't seen it I would have been much better off, although it is so very interesting. I wonder; does he take the children to some mystical fun land, or does he just eat them?
