Month of Horrors: The Creepiest Moments in Video Games, Part 7

So, here we are. Halloween. And we have reached the end of both this list, and the Month of Horrors. And with that, I am now confronted with my creepiest moments in any video game. I'm a little disappointed, honestly. I'd intended to do a Let's Play of this game, since it isn't very long, but I wasn't able to record any footage of myself playing. So, instead, you'll just have to read what I have to say instead of listen, while I talk about:

1. Slender

Now, for those of you who haven't heard of Slender, or The Slender Man in general, could you tell me where you've been hiding? Because, honestly, I'd like to join you. The Slender Man is one of the creepiest things I've ever heard of, and this game does a great job of capturing the feeling of his mythos. So, if you haven't heard, The Slender Man is a... creature of some sort. He stalks people, and eventually... does something to them. And that's one of the scarier things about him. Nobody knows exactly what he is, or what he does with his victims, or really anything about him. So people can just assume whatever they think is scariest.

In Slender, you are trapped in a forest with The Slender Man. You have to find 8 pages scattered throughout the forest, on trees, construction equipment, in a bathroom (or, what's assumed to be a bathroom, there's no plumbing), etc. As you gather pages, The Slender Man begins appearing, more often and closer each time you gain a new page. If he stays near you for too long, you die. You can run from him, but only for so long. And I mean that literally, not figuratively, since you run by holding Shift, and you get tried after running for too long. Oh, and it's night, and your flashlight's batteries WILL die after a while.

So yeah, I wouldn't say that I love this game. I HATE it. But for all the right reasons. This game IS being inside The Slender Man Mythos. It is a perfect representation of what it is like to be stalked by The Slender Man. And you WILL wet yourself playing it. Don't try to hide it, it's inevitable. But I would definitely recommend downloading it at http://slendergame.com/download.php . It's completely free, and good for a nice scare.

And with that, the Month of Horrors is over. I hope you all have a nice Halloween, and remember: When you hear something go bump in the night, it might not be just the wind...
