Slender: The Eight Pages

Uncommon card · No. 110331

Slender: The Eight Pages, originally titled Slender, is a survival horror game based on the Slender Man, a well-known creepypasta character. Influenced by the web series Marble Hornets, it was developed by independent developer Mark J. Hadley using the Unity game engine and was released in June 2012 by his one-man studio, Parsec Productions. He drew inspiration from Amnesia: The Dark Descent's atmosphere and imagery, though he opted for random encounters, rather than Amnesia's linear design, which Hadley felt diminished its horror. The player is tasked with collecting eight pages scattered around a dark forest while avoiding Slender Man. The Eight Pages was largely praised by critics for its effective horror and atmosphere despite its crude graphics, although some considered the gameplay repetitive and lacking replay value. It became popular through Let's Plays and inspired many fan-games based on Slender Man. Parsec Productions and Blue Isle Studios released a sequel, Slender: The Arrival...
