I don't really get why people get scared by slenderman.

There are so many reactions videos to the Slender 8 pages game where the player screams their balls off (*cough* Pewdiepie *cough*) for some reason, but I can't seem to really understand why.

There is nothing really creepy or eerie about SM himself and the atmosphere and the music was nothing short of overrated. I gotta admit, I do sometimes get a bit shocked whenever I play some horror games, but I have never in my whole life screamed out the top of my lungs whenever that happens.

Edit: While posting this I randomly got this intense pain in my right foot. It felt like someone was hitting it with a hammer or something. I managed to fall out of my computer chair and then hit the power switch for my PC. Luckily enough Chrome had saved what I just wrote...

from now on avoid forest okay? lol

I do find reaction vids somewhat exaggerated. I usually just jerk and blurt out "Holy Cow!" if a jump scare gets me. Slenderman's music is just about right IMO.

Some of the reactions are more genuine than others. I'm sure the guys in the video I posted are hamming up for the camera and for each other.

Still, I get e-mail all day long from people that say that it scared them so it's got to be getting through to some people.

The free version is in review at the moment and should be live soon.

Finally got time to try the update! The farm level is very nice, though it might get a bit jarring to walk around such a vast area. I haven't encounter Slendie yet, only caught a glimpse of him once before he suddenly vanished, but I think it should be tricky to avoid him if you come across him at certain spots on the farm. The graveyard is awesome, imagine a meeting with Slender at that place.

Oh and the image effects are also well done. Combined with fog things just look surreal! Like you are under Slenderman's spell or something

Keep up the good work!
