I have to say, this game looks pretty epic. I might give it a go.

I found a few small errors and have fixed them, but will need to wait for Jonnie19 to update the newest version for download.

[Jonnie19]

The Direct D/L has been updated to the latest version. Shaddowval will update his version (Mediafire Link) momentarily Updated the link
As you may have seen from the video playthrough. It certainly IS a challenge.
We're now on RMN, as such another D/L mirror is now added

[Clord]

Gotta give this another go as the beta testers' version was so gimped.

Please do Clord, it will be brilliant to receive more feedback on the game we worked so hard to complete. We're really looking forward to seeing people's reaction to the game. So feel free to create some LP's and upload it to youtube. Cause we'd love to see how you do.

We are going to host a Page Race in a few days. In which competitors have to try and gain all 8 pages and the flashlight and gain the good ending in the next couple of days...We'll post more details shortly...

We have updated the RMN link with the new version, we've fully tested the game multiple times to ensure it's a clean and crisp a game as possible. However due to the Spawning Engine we used in this game, sometimes errors will appear. If you find any error. Let us know asap and either me or Shadowval will get back to you.

Also, if you have any ideas that you've got in regards to what we could do to IMPROVE the gameplay let me know

I've updated the D/L links to for MORE bug fixes. The amount of Random events, have made bug fixes such a challenging task

[Clord]

Spawning system needs to ensure some distance to player as it is so cheap when you lose because the monsters spawn directly to range of capture.

[Shaddow]

That is all part of the fear XD, but the spawning system is pretty much 100% random, at least after the first time they appear!

[Jonnie19]

It is fully Randomized XD The point of the game is to shock and surprise you. You end up jumping in your seat due to the fact that he just gets you immediately. It's not a planned auto attack. The chances are you sped through the game without thinking.

There are three effective ways of escaping from the enemies:

[Show/Hide] Spoilers Inside

1. Walk out of the room and come back in. Each time you exit and enter a room the Enemies respawn to a different point.
2. Each enemy can only move a certain distance. When they appear get as far away from the enemy as possible.
3. Slenderman (especially) has difficulty going around multiple corners. So if you want to trick Slenderman then dodge him, zig-zag. He'll struggle.

[Clord]

Well I'm not really the target audience anyways. I like to play horror games even though I don't feel actual fear while playing them.

[Shaddow]

Has anyone encountered any game freezing bugs? I've had one person complain about it, but I fixed the problem and am unable to duplicate it, though she says she still gets it. I'm hoping someone else can confirm if this has happened or if she is just using an older version.

[Clord]

It is not unusual to get told about bugs in your game/map/mod after they have already been fixed for months.

So yeah, he probably has just a old version as I didn't find anything game breaking yet.

[amerk]

This is why I encourage everybody to specify changes to each download in the main page, but it also helps to include a date when the newest one was made as it's easier to track if a new DL has been uploaded without reading everything again.

[Iperks]

Looks good im going to download it. Thank you

Although i appreciate the feedback, could please add abit more to your post in future, perhaps wait to post until after you've played the game Thanks ~Jonnie19

[Chainsaw Police]

personally, i think the whole slenderman fad is dead.

[Jonnie19]

I've had this feedback from people before about Slenderman needing to be left alone. This game is also unlike any other slenderman game that has been created. For many different reasons In this game there is an actual storyline compared to all other Slender mods, There is not only Slenderman, but also a few other enemies. There is also other enemies. There is a full storyline. and a conclusion.

For Slenderman Haters, I challenge them to play this game...cause there is alot MORE to this game then just Slenderman. It has become commented as quite a dark game.
I really would suggest you try it out, separate from whether you like Slenderman or not You may enjoy it....
Thanks for the feedback anywho

Slender Woods pretty surely released before your project.

It also has a proper storyline.

There is also Slender Man game with more than one type of enemies other than yours.

Ah yes, Slenderman Woods has a storyline, just like mine. One I forgot about, however it is still in 3D...and still using the same engine (unity). This game is in no way trying to go up against the likes of Slender, and Slender Woods. It isn't meant to fight the other Slenderman games.

There's another Slender game that has more than one type of enemy Please show me. I'd love to play it

The fact remains is that, as far as i know, it is the SECOND of the Slender games with a storyline, It is NOT Slender. The game only features Slender. it's also made for a competition. The aim of which was to scare the crap outta people, which from the feedback I have received that is exactly what has been achieved here.

Perhaps it's not the first, but it still UNIQUE in it's creation, taking RPG Maker VX engine and work darn hard to create something that isn't an RPG...
Sadly if you don't like 2D games, then sadly this game isn't for you but it is something original

I do like 2D games, but 2D is not really that much meant for the horror genre. However you can still achieve that suspense even with 2D games. 3D ones are more effective since you can make it in first person. Not to mention likes of Oculus Rift which will amplify those games to be even scarier.

Of course games which does pull out nice 2D experience are games like. Corpse Party for the PSP/VITA. But it comes from superb Japanese voice acting and music work.

I would love to be able to work on a 3D engine, but not only am I not an artist, but I don't have the know-how to create a full 3D game, that I wouldn't just purely give up on...
I suppose i'm just comfortable creating games that aren't QUITE as good as others, Focusing more on having fun then creating a game to compete with others....
Although I am definitely gonna check out the Corpse Party PSP game...looks amazing....
3D games are always more effective, I just guess I am too comfortable with 2D, I don't even want to upgrade to VXA, i'm too old fashioned in my ways
