Slender: The Eight Pages or simply Slender, is a psychological horror/romp in the woods video game released in June 2012. The game is based on the Slender Man, a tall humanoid creature with a strong aversion to the sound of rustling paper, torches and children. You play as an intrepid torch wielding child, tasked with collecting and rustling eight pieces of paper. This task must be completed before the Slender Man can stand behind you and lean on the most terrifying piano keys possible.
