Slender: The Eight Pages Publisher's Description As a free download it's a way to kill a few minutes, but if you're already that bored, this is probably not the answer. And the Slender Man probably shouldn't be overweight.Ĭonclusion: Overall this feels like an exercise by someone trying out their new 3D game development software. Slender Man fans might love it though.Ĭons: No real gameplay. It's a reasonable start, but it needs much, much more. ![]() In The Eight Pages we get nothing more than our own footsteps. Much of Thief's neck-prickling fear came from a brilliant sound track of half-heard whispers and moans. Nothing happened for ten minutes in that game too, but I was riveted for every second.
