Slender

Game overview

Slender is not your average party game. One player becomes Slenderman, a relentless hunter stalking everyone else through a dark night forest. The survivors have ten minutes to find the eight pages nailed to the ruins, before the clock runs out or before Slenderman finds them first.

Survivors decide whether to stick close for safety or split up to cover more ground, sweeping the woods by flashlight while the battery ticks down and static crawls at the edge of the screen. Slenderman plays by other rules: blinking across the map, putting out the lanterns and getting faster with every page found. Each round hands the monster to someone new and hides the pages somewhere else, so one match rolls straight into the next.
