+ Creepy atmosphere + Nice graphics + Cool enemy +/- Very short game - The rain audio is annoying - Very simple, go back and forth gameplay - Interiors of houses are boring and empty

Surprisingly, It's Not Bad. I Expected A Worser Experience After Reading Some Reviews. I Took A Risk And I Ended Up Really Enjoying The Game! My Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb9T96x2oZg

[h1]Mom, can we have Slenderman? "We have Slenderman at home, dear."[/h1] The game is, honestly, just kind of boring. You move slow and it's not immediately apparent what you should do or where to go. I managed to run off the edge of the world.

So poorly made and unoptomized it is genuinely unplayable, not worth a quarter.

Not worth it. I picked this up at 49 cents (90% off) and I still feel overcharged. Basically it's the standard steam indie horror experience. Wander around, pick up keys and items, find things to use them on, proceed through environment, avoid big creepy monster. But this is very the many flaws start to set in. For starters, you have a very unforgiving stamina meter. This combined with fact that Candlehead is faster than you means that whenever you get spotted, unless you're close to a map edge, you will be caught. Thankfully it's pretty forgiving, you're just transported back to the start of the main town whenever you die, but you still have all your items. The next big sin is the fact it just isn't scary. It's a combination of lack of atmosphere, and the fact that the monster is frankly, pretty silly. And combined with that you've got a sprawling main area that is hard to navigate, made worse by the fact you move so slow and can only sprint for about 3 seconds in a row. Naviga...
