History NightmareFuel / Slender

* [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything The Developers]] ''[[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything truly]]'' [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything thought of everything]]: If you [[GameBreakingBug mistakenly]] or [[SequenceBreaking purposefully]] glitch out of the bounds of the map, or otherwise fall off the edge of the world, then the game will insta-kill you, with a message reading, "Even a glitch in this game can't save you from me." At first this seems like a clever bit of meta commentary about the glitch, [[FridgeHorror but then you realize something]]: the game wasn't giving you an "out-of-bounds error" message. Slenderman said that. To you. Not to the game's Protagonist. ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou To you.]]''

* The Arrival's ending. After everything you went through, you end up trapped in a room with a charred body and crazed writings on the wall. The door is locked behind you and your flashlight is completely drained. When you go closer to the body, you find a camrecorder which plays audio of a man and woman screaming. Once the audio stops playing, you hear the door open; creepy images flicker on the screen...and then [[spoiler:the credits roll.]]

* Scared of running from Slender? How about running from Slender AND [[http://images.wikia.com/theslenderman/images/7/71/Chaser..._%285%29.JPG a masked girl in a hoodie who will tear you apart?]]

*** what makes that ending worse is [[spoiler: you're still awake after you fall.]]

* Pause at just the right moment during the static screen, and you'll discover a lovely FreezeFrameBonus: [[spoiler: [[NightmareFace a craggy, screaming face]] [[http://magicalwishpotato.tumblr.com/image/48045108481 with jagged teeth]].

* A meta example. This game was scary enough to scare TOM of {{Toonami}}. The same TOM who has dealt with giant aliens blobs, and insane computer viruses.

** The second ending is worse, you go through the first ending only to [[spoiler: black out and be THROWN OFF THE RADIO TOWER by Slender Man.]]

** The section of the level leading up to the ending is bad enough in its own right. [[spoiler: Running for your life through a raging forest fire with Slendy at your heels? Sounds like fun!]]

* The end of the first level, where you enter Kate's room and walk to the broken window, then, in the distance...you hear a long, blood-curdling scream.

** On his personal blog, [[MarbleHornets Troy Wagner]] confessed to having ripped off his headphones in fright while playing ''Slender''. That's right: the guy who created one of the cornerstones of the mythos--the very series that ''inspired the game to begin with''--was frightened by this game.

* Forget the Slender Man. This game ''will'' ignite the PrimalFear of the darkness in you.

* After the sixth page, Slender Man becomes much, ''much'' more persistent.
