* ScrappyMechanic: The sprinting system in the early versions got the most criticism, particularly since the PlayerCharacter walked so slow, could only run a short distance, and her maximum stamina would deplete permanently every time she ran. Run too much at the beginning, and the game could end up UnwinnableByDesign. Later versions have since been addressing it.

* GoodBadBug: Players have discovered that Slender Man is essentially locked into place if he's in your field of vision whether you can see him or not. People have exploited this by going into the woods then when Slendy shows up, they position themselves so that Slendy is blocked by a tree. This leaves Slender Man standing still in the woods like an idiot while the player sits unharmed.

** A lot of the community's backlash has less to do with the game itself, and more to do with its fans. A few people have looked into it and discovered the rest of the SlenderManMythos, but a lot of people who were introduced to the Mythos through the game think that the game created the Slender Man, and some will even go so far as to say that MarbleHornets stole from Slender.
