Overall a good game, but could use some improvements:

  • Some subtle spooky ambiance that begins when you pick up the 1st page and gets more intense the further you progress.
  • More subtle jumpscare sounds when Slender Man is far away.
  • The rate at which static builds up should be proportional to how close he is.
  • Better ease of navigation. It might just be that I'm bad at the game, but I keep walking in the same places without finding anything new.
  • New gamemodes like daytime mode and VHS mode would be pretty cool

I'm excited to see how this game will evolve!

please fix the multiplayer, one player starts the game, the second does not!

BUG: we both walked into Rancid Cabin and the door shut behind us. we needed a key to open the door but nothing was found in the room so we were stuck and had to restart.

i installed it but when i tried to change to graphics to very low it crash and i have linux 

Hell:

when I was trying install the game i could no

 It said the file wasn't available on site

so????

😊👍

hope i can coop someday and would like to play how it goes:)

i think this has to be the best slender game i have ever played it is way different from any slender game i've played

Me and my friends tried to join but couldnt start when there was 4 in the lobby but we could when we where 3 in the lobby so we had to ditch one plz fix

Thank you for reporting. But this game isnt in development anymore.  Iam working on a new multiplayer project, stay tuned

Me and my friend loved the game and enjoyed editing it and it had some glitches but not much well done making this game

Entertaining video, thanks for your comment :)

(+1)

I enjoy the game just a little lag not too bad. I would play it again with a friend. 

Thanks! Of course, let me know when the next gameplay video is up! :)

I will let you and you're welcome

the game is zero optimized. nothing changes when i turn down the graphics and that sucks. you should make the motion blur identifiable otherwise it's just annoying, it lags all the time. but also looks exciting, but zero optimized, too bad. I do not like it. lets say: 4/10

wooooo achei bom demais o jogo, efeiots sonoros durante a gameplay é super imersivo e assutador, fiquei bem desfocado por que fiquei mais brincando do que dando atenção a todos os detalhes do jogo mas eu amei, ainda vou postar um video desse jogo que ja está sendo encaminhado pra postar https://www.youtube.com/c/RogerAlgumaCoisa

Well as you started the server and didnt join the game, did you got a error or did the game crash?

Haha yeah in my future projects I am going to implement more interactive tutorials or dialog boxes!

The online mode was designed to explore and cooperate with your friends but everyone should go their own path and try to find pages, batteries and keys on their own. But I agree with you I might should have added a option to join with your friends on the same spot. Lets see what the future brings ;) Also a big map would have been a nice idea!

I did not make him that tall because I wanted him to enter interiors but I know that this kind of ruined the atmosphere haha

The revive system is a kind of prototype so you can tricks it really easy
Normaly pages also spawn indoors that is the reason for collecting the keys maybe that was just a bad coincidence

Thank you it was really a piece of hard work ^^

I really appreciate your honest and extensive feedback! I hope to see you on my next projects :) !

I wount work on linux FIX THIS ASAP!!!!!

Bruh my friends cant evn join my game what is with this game.

can u release a optimized version bcs my computer is running this game on ass frame per second so can u add an option to lower down the resolution??

I might publish a fix for that soon but at the moment I am working on another project and I really want to focus on that first

Does the online user server regions, and if so can you change them? My girlfriend can join my game find but my friend in Germany can't join our game and we can't join his. We're in the US if that matters.

(+1)

hey, yes the network tries to find the best possible server in your region to connect. Anyways if you create a room then everyone no matter what region he's in should be able to join your room maybe try again a couple more times. Have a awesome day!

Nope, failed every time and we were trying for about 20 minutes straight. All my friends in the US (east coast) could join us no problem, but my German friend couldn't connect no matter what. German friend hosted and none of us in the US could find his game either. Kept saying the game doesn't exist for whoever was trying to join. Appreciate the reply though. Game was fun even though we had to play without a man.

hm okay, I am sorry for that I might publish a fix soon but currently I am working on a new project and I really want to focus on that. I am glad you enjoyed the game anyways :)

Pretty neat! Just a few issues:

The biggest problem was the fact that slender doesn't walk at all. And when he drops in, it's slightly scary maybe the first time, but once you realize that he's just going to spawn in and stand and stare, it's not scary anymore because you can easily manipulate him. 

One thing I miss from the original slender games was the fact that he'd be posted up at a distance a lot before you even encountered him, sowing fear into the players before actually hitting people with the real spook.

Player movement was also a bit much. You bob around a little too much, and you retain momentum more like you were on wheels as opposed to walking.

Other than that, we enjoyed it! Let me know if you update slender to be more threatening, then I might come back and play some more!

thank you for the honest feedback! Yeah I agree with you the jumpscares aren't scary over time. That's a good point but for now I am not going to further develop this game in its mechanics. Currently I am working on other projects and I want to fully concentrate on those. The player movement was supposed to be a bit wiggly but a few people already said that this is a bit too much. Thank you! Like I said I am working on a new project I would love to hear your feedback when it's released so maybe consider a follow 😉 anyways have a great day!

Make update for mac and linux pls

Online Multiplayer didn't work at all for me which is sad because i really wanted to test it out with a friend. We can't even join our lobbies.

me and my friend are trying to play together in the new online mode. but whenever the lobby leader presses start only one person joins the actual game and the other is just stuck on the menu. are we doing something wrong?

(1 edit)

Both of you have to close and start the game once again then when you are in a room the leader have to press only ONCE the start button even if the same screen remains only click the start button ONCE and wait till the game gets loaded then everything should work

Review below video



This games amount of effort was awesome. Good tension and a detailed environment lead to some scary moments. The mechanics were cut and dry, but they fit well together. Unfortunately this game lacks in one key area. Slender Man himself. His model is gangly and gaunt. It instills fear. What doesn't instill fear is the call of duty level-up sound that play every time you look at him. A loud noise that literally notifies you when you're in danger, and becomes extremely repetitive after, say, two light gasps. The original Slender Man game was terrifying because the only way you knew u were about to die was the static. There were no flashy noises and green outlines, no keys to buildings and big open maps. It was simple and effective, this game has taken away that key air of uncertainty away with a single auditory que. That a blunder my guy. Also fix your cheat menu. I opened it by accident (bound to C) and I couldn't close it afterwards. Killed my first attempt lol.

Wow this has to be the best slender man game so far, for a free game bud it was bloody teriffic, the game ran smooth and the environment and atmosphere was scary as hell.Those jumpscares omgggggggg, great game thank you for making this 10/10


Thank you! Would love to see another video on hard mode ;)

I may down the track do a hard mode bud, thanx for watching and making a great game.

(+1)

I really enjoy this slender experience. I've played a bunch over the years and I'll admit this was INSANELY hard for me lol but I it was polished and well made with all of the details. Thank you so much for all your hard work and one day I vow to beat it XD 

(+1)

I am glad to hear! Another video would be amazing :)

(+1)

I'll be sure to give it a go when I'm feeling braver lol but it was a lot of fun I'd be honored to :D 

(+1)

The scariest Slender game in years. This game has a great atmosphere, incredible ambience, and amazing overall gameplay.

Thank you!!

(+1)

do you have similar multiplayer projects dbd on slender?

it would be cool to see a 4v1 with a more or less large map, in my opinion it would be a great success! (the killer is random among the 5 players in the lobby)

in the future i hope i can see great slender multiplayer, you are the best in this horror genre.

(+1)

I won't do any new slender projects. Slender dark woods is my last slender type game I worked on.

I might add some smaller updates for the game but like I said there will be no next slender game.

Maybe I am going to add some king of multi-player in my upcoming projects :)

I really thank you! I am glad to hear and I hope to see you also on my next projects :)

Have a nice day!
