Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We loved playing this game we also recommend this game for people who havent played horror games before becuse it is verey fun and not give you nightmares for a week tipe of scary.
We dowloaded this game because the preview looked scary which it is, when there is audio. We dont know why but even when we dowloaded 2 other slenderman games there was no audio. We used our brothers phone to play this game because the audio of this game works on his and when we played it it was super fun. Very scary and fun except the audio problem.
This game is absolutely amazing, the gameplays incredible, the graphics are amazing, its scary! But the only problem is its not scary enough. There needs to be jumpscares, he needs to pop out of know where, right in front of you when your not expecting it. So that you almost crap your pants, or scream! Other then it not being scary enough, its absolutely amazing! We suggest to download this game.
Slender man does not support backbone controller we love this game so much we would love it if it supported the controller thanks.
The slender series is kinda known for its lackluster gameplay the relies mostly on its atmosphere to be fun. The slender series feels more natural to be a mobile game, and this one nails the gameplay, and even adds an extra feature that we find pretty cool. In the original game, if you get too close to Slender man you just instantly die. This one at least gives you a chance to escape him with a quick-time event. The overall map design is good and the graphics arent bad for a mobile game.
This game is so fun if youre wondering how to change The controls go to settings best game ever love the Erie atmosphere.
This game was the scariest out of all of them he looked cooler then most we highly recommend this one :).
Personally we think its a very good, addictive, and well put together game that is just beautiful. The way SlenderMan just waits there gives us a tiny bit of the chills, which we think is a good way to practice being vigilant. Also the most signs we have ever gotten is nine, we know not many of you will believe that we are telling the truth but try beating our score. This game it amazing, we love how you can fin d signs like, HE IS HERE, THE ABBYS LOOKS BACK, and we MUST KILL ALL we are not insane we are not insane we are not insane we think it adds some creepy ness to the game. Also Im trying to figure out the lore to the game, heres what we have down so far. You play as a person who awakens in a dark forest and the whispers (in the form of the arrow) help but they cant be to far from the signs, when you get your first one IT (SlenderMan) awakens but at first he doesnt mind to much until you get more, then you seem like a threat, because you are taking down the warnings left by the last victims SlenderMan loves his peace and quite. (Im not sure about the tree and nooses though.) So we wrote WAY more than we originally anticipated but it was worth it, if we could rate this game more than five stars BELIEVE ME we WOULD.
The thing that is bad about the game is when you start, After like 2 1/2 seconds Later we die and it doesnt show anything about us dieing from Slenderman so please improve your game we slightly saw what killed us it was a very very black mysterious creature if you know what it is please reply back to us.
The challenge is fun and the horror aspects are strong. The movement of the character, as well as the environments, all work together to bring you a great horror experience, all for free. Plus, for us, the nostalgia is a nice bonus. Thanks to whoever made this game.
This game is SO lame and it made us scared. It also made our little brother pee his pants. We did not pee our pants tho. He did. U should take this game off the ap store cuz it is scared us. P.s, we did not pee our pants 4/5 stars.
Play while blasting Gangnam Style. Restart the song when you get a sign. So when you turn around. He kills you to the beat.
This game is so good excellent even when its old if there is a infinite button we would put it.
We read the reviews and they were true we recommend this game for horror fans.
We really like this game! Its fun, scary and we love that you have more controls, we do think you shouldnt start the player off with touch to move but other than that this game is very well done, looks great, and functions like it supposed to! Great job developer.
NO ADS AND SLENDERMAN IS AMAZING SO SAVAGE AND COOOLL.
It scared the crap out of us we check in our closet and under our bed at night.
We really like this game its a game that would scare you if you wanted a scary game but its not to scary to scare the living day out of you we will give this game a 4 star because its scary but its not a 5 because the day mode isint really scary at all but over all its a good game so people who read this just know night mode is really scary but if u get to scared we would recommend switching to day mode thank you for reading.
This game should have 5 stars!! It has so much high quality That it looks realistic!! No bugs needed to be fixed!! This should have more downloads and ratings!! Please Respond.
Definitely try it out and the graphics are great.
BACK AND KILLS YOU ITS SCARY we THINK THE AGE SHOULD BE 17+ SERIOUSLY IM NOT JOKING IM SCAREDY-CAT BUT THE PAGES SAY we CRAWL UNDER YOUR BED WATCHING YOU.
It is so scary we just started to walk we are to scared to do night so we do say and um well we do not know when he is gonna pop up so we get so scared and we feel like we are being watched at and it is giving us goose bumps and if u have game tell us when he pops on day cause um we need to know to be ready pls super scary we love it.
This is the definition of horror.
Its scary you can get pages ill play it all day if Im bored but we gave it a 5 stars because it has slenderman the graphics are good and its fun so if youre bored download this app plz U will have fun we like slenderman games and we dont know why its just fun well this is all we have to say so bye and have a good day.
Slender man didnt come out of our screen And next week we are going to be sick with the flu and this game better work or else we are going back to the future to fix this guy a sandwich and then we will apologize for that and it will never be the same because Thor Roderick the son of oden gave us diarrhea because of his name.
Its a good game but.. Every time we look away from slender some slender still gets us even if Im not looking at him. It has good graphics and and if anybody likes a good scare we would recommend this game.
This game is amazing! Its so freaking addicting as well! At first, we were so terrified of this game because what if theres jumpscares? Well, a little bit. Our high score is 2 pages and we never get 3 pages or higher because we keep rage quitting. So every time we get near the third page, Slenderman just POPS right in front of where we were standing and we had to turn the opposite direction. Every time that happens we would just curse. We were so mad because we were just like a bit away from the page.This game is the best horror game Ive ever played! We know there are some Slenderia games but we are too scared to download those ;-; Also when Slenderman is in front of us, we turn back and Slenderman is suddenly BEHIND us which scared the crap outta us. It looked like there were two Slendermans. After a times of trying day, we began playing night.
We love it we love the sound effects we love everything one downside is at the first part of the game we were kinda confused because it didnt really explain how to walk we thought you just stand there until we tapped.
We found this originally on our friends phone, once we played it, we couldnt stop! This is much better than the original eight pages game! It really scares you when he just… Appears! The best part, you dont just run from Slender, you have to swipe away and flee from him! Cant wait to try the second.
We use to play this when we were 4 and we were always really scared. We just ergot the game after 6 years from what we can remember we didnt know how to shoot :P.
Love the game but there are a few minor glitches like when you respawn we cant move.
The controls are easy and fast to learn, its the perfect amount of scary and suspenseful. The jump scares are amazing and always leaves you on edge, wheres slender next.
Approved by Marble Hornets fan. 10/10.
The game is super addicting, fun, and challenging! It makes you want to keep trying. We found 7 pages and had one more but Slendy found us and we couldnt escape! XD we will try again until we collect all of the pages! We rate this game 5/5 stars! THANK YOU TO WHOEVER MADE THIS.
Makes us drop our phone and jerk our head in the middle of the day. Too scared to play at night.
We would love to play with our friends.
Do not play this in the dark it is very scary it made us sweat for 10min because of how scared we were, but we do recommend this game if youre looking 4 horror.
Came here from Emma :) Thought yall should know.
This year we are gonna become a YouTuber.This game is a game we wanna make YouTube videos on.we havent found really any bugs and we think this is gonna be a great game to YouTube.P.S add some more updates and it would be a 6star Lol.
OOH VERDY SCADY (Mario head sound).
This is by far the best slender game on mobile and the most entertaining unlike the forest sorry we guess the forest was fine but we hated the sensitivity this however is much better you havent played a true horror game until you played this.
OMG so fun and scary we love that the more you get pages the more Slenderman comes out LOVE IT.
This game had time put into it we like how the graphics are we like the slender man effect when you look at him we love the noise when your near a sign a lot of other slender man games dont have time put into it.
We were playing this game and when ever slender man jumped in our face we wasnt scared so we played it again and we got 10 signs! :D.
Unfortunately when we Try to beat the level we cant and we keep playing it and its getting boring.
Every time we see this boy he always trying to get us we have them juke moves.
Definitely recommend you not to play this during the night or if youre going to bed cause trust us you either wont want to stop playing it or you wont be able to sleep It seems as though this game should be one of the top games for slenderman or creepypastas its the best Ive seen so far.
Ok we used to be terrified at this game but its addicting and fun,also we learned from someones review that music makes it less tense and we found out the slendytubbies Sparta remix is not a good choice or Slenderman music creepy but yet FUN and Im pretty good at it always getting away from slendy is quite hard//easy…also keep doing good developers and add some more maps to the free one pls… And some updates.
It's a good slenderman game like the rest of em but there hard because win you get like 4 pages he gets really smarter and faster makeing the game a lot more harder then it should be lets just say that probably make the game a little more esay ok.
This game is straight up TERRIFYING!!!!! The sound is so cool and the jumpscares are CRAZY!!! A must download for everyone.
