Slender Man fans might love it though.Ĭons: No real gameplay. It's a reasonable start, but it needs much, much more. In The Eight Pages we get nothing more than our own footsteps.

The game has reasonable atmosphere, but Hadley should review the chills created by the deserted orphanage in Thief II. There's a strong hint of Blair Witch in the videos to be found on YouTube, and the number of followers suggests that this is a cult that provides a rich vein for developers of horror games. The Slender Man meme has proliferated virally, and the concept of this impossibly tall, thin and faceless figure, glimpsed as a black shadow in the corner of the eye has undeniable horror potential. Not wishing to spoil the game for fans of the genre I'll say that there is a way to prolong your survival, but I'll leave you to work out what it is. On the second try I was slightly more successful I found two of the eight pages before the overweight Slender Man had his supernatural way. OK, that can't be it, can it? Unfortunately, yes it can.
