Freak Yourself Right the Hell Out With This Live-Action Slender Video

Go ahead, see how much of this you can take. What's the matter? The clip is only 2:09 long.

I played this game last night. It's pretty scary, but only if you're freaked out by sound/lighting effects. The actual Slender Man guy doesn't look very scary.

A tall faceless guy that doesn't move when you look at him and can teleport is not scary to you?

dedicatedtogamers4295d ago

The constant heartbeat and breathing noises are scarier to me but ymmv.

WeskerChildReborned4295d ago

I think it uses cheap scares like pop ups but i don't really mind.

Them_Bones4295d ago

This is the best horror game this gen.
I know there is basically nothing to it but that's all it takes to hold that title this gen.

r214295d ago

its not the best, its one of the best including Amnesia, Siren New Blood Curse and Ju-on.

Xristo4295d ago

That's either an ignorant statement or bold statement....have you even played Amnesia? If that game didn't freak you out and this game does, then I cannot wait to play!

Bimkoblerutso4295d ago

It's a pretty scary game...the first time you play it. Considering the repetitiveness of it all and the lack of polish (even for an indie game), in it's current form it will never really hold a candle to the perpetual dread that a game like Amnesia provides for all of it's six or seven hours of playtime.

Not to mention that in Slender the only difference there is in failing and collecting all eight pages is a credits reel. It's really only good for that very first five or six minute playthrough.

Have you ever heard of BloodyCheckers? It's a horror RPG on XBLA. It may be an Indie game but it's gotta have the biggest bang for your buck, LITERALLY. It's only a dollar, yet it has a 25 hour campaign (you heard right, 25 HOURS) and tons of levels. Not to mention that it's pretty scary. I recommend checking it out. IF you have an Xbox of course.

Hey thanks for the info, I downloaded the game and its freekin awesome !! For a dollar I can't believe it must be a promo or something... Very creepy game. I look forward to 25 hours of exploration and being creeped out !!

MySwordIsHeavenly4295d ago

I'm not sure why anyone would find that video scary. The game itself could be scary, if you're ten.

No mention of Clickers from the Last Of Us. Hearing those through my headset terrified me.

Sainox163115d ago

Only one comes to mind and that is RE4'S Regenerators/Iron Maiden so terrifying Imo lol

Lord_Sloth3115d ago

Which isn't on the list for some reason.

MikeClarKent3115d ago

Articles can't go on forever, dude.

Lighter93115d ago

No feral ghouls from Fallout 3 either. I remember the first time I heard one, it scared me pretty good, because I hadn't seen or heard one up to that point.
