No other game does so much with so little. Game overs are swift, brought on by the ever-increasing presence of the Slenderman whose gaze is to be avoided, but the simplicity of controls (walking, jogging, turning the flashlight on and guiding it, picking up pages) and simplicity of objective and antagonist means that the game can be played and understood by anyone of any skill level at any time. But, it is for all these reasons that the game stands out for its replayability, accessability, and importance in pop culture history. Clearly the passion project of one individual, the graphics (even for 2012 on a PC) are haphazard and minimalist, the map relatively small, and the atmosphere is put together with trickery founded by a lack of resources. You follow one objective and have one antagonising force the Slenderman. Slender: The Eight Pages is an incredibly simple game. A thunderous drone, the increase in wind. You do so, trekking aimlessly through forest, through farms, through pointless tiled rooms, past abandoned trucks, past strange monoliths until you find a strange note. You are told nothing more than to ‘Collect the 8 pages’.
Fixed a bug where the flashlight would try to illuminate a page on the other side of a wall.Added a pause feature, but you can only pause if there's no static (which prevents you from pausing the game in response to seeing the Slender Man).
Added a menu option to automatically skip the intro.For the same reason, Distance Shade can no longer be turned off. The maximum distance you can see decreases as you collect more pages this is to keep the challenge similar for people who have fog turned off.This will allow you to jog or sprint for a much longer period of time, but makes repeated taps of the jog/sprint button cause your stamina to drain very quickly (effectively getting rid of a former exploit). When you start jogging/sprinting, however, it immediately deducts 5% of your stamina. Removed the cooldown for stamina recovery after jogging/sprinting, and reduced the stamina drain rate.Your jogging speed now increases gradually as more pages are collected.Added shadows (not especially noticeable except in lit areas).
Added different light sources (unlocked after beating the game once).Also now includes links to Slender Man info and YouTube series. Improved main menu and added music to it.Added a subtitle to the game ("The Eight Pages") to differentiate it from future versions.
