Slender: The Free Indie Game

[Oterro]

the funny thing is yume nikki is objectively bad

You on the troll patrol?

It is though. I like it, it's just a tedious, terrible game in its mechanics.

I didn't find that the game mechanics got in the way of my enjoyment (if that's the proper word) of Yume Nikki, so it's subjective.

It's nice that you think that but the only game play is picking up items and sometimes using them.

The rest is walking. That's it.

If it didn't have such a huge fanbase and reputation no one would play that shit.

And when I say ''use'' I mean ''use'', there's no context for use.

Oh and the design is just objectively bad there is no explanation for anything, but please feel free to try and spin that off as good. So mysterious and unique!

I found the atmosphere and dark undertones reason enough to play the game.

Also, Super Mario Bros. can be construed as nothing but running to the right and jumping, yet it is considered a great game. I think that you are trying to simplify Yumi Nikki just for the sake of argument.

Don't get me wrong ~ I can see why many people wouldn't necessarily enjoy it, but I can also see why it appeals to so many.

those are the subjective reasons, and i like them too

because don't get me wrong, i enjoyed it. i won't play it again, because it's more of an experience than a game, but the first time sure was interesting.

but the objective parts of the game - the mechanics and gameplay etc are just bad.

I don't think it's possible to simplify Yume Nikki.

I can understand that point as finding and figuring out uses for those "effects" could be extremely tedious, but I also thought that walking through the various environments was an element of gameplay that worked to the game's overall benefit. Giving the player directions would also have made it seem less dream-like.

(It's funny how off topic this thread has become.)

Perhaps if we all gave Slenderman his $20, he'd leave us alone.

Poor Slenderman. All he wants is his twenty dollars.

Never played the game, I have Amnesia to worry about as it is. But here, have this awesome meme.

[Mandicoria]

I saw a video showing a gun hack for it :/
The guy who was commentating with the vid was pretty annoying but eh pretty neat hack

[AETEN II]

Actually no. I just collected all eight pages. You just die. No matter what. And Amnesia wouldn't scare me. Hell, now slender just makes me laugh. Oh well :/

Any advice for anything that might possibly spook me? Send a shiver? Because nothing ever really has.

You may want to try LSD: Dream Emulator. It's not so much an "in your face" horror game like Amnesia; rather, it may not even be considered a horror game per se, but it has many disturbing qualities. It has been described as having the affect of bringing out a slow, creeping unease that is hard for the player to pin down—I guess uncanny is the word I'm looking for—that eventually builds into paranoia. When it comes to actually playing it though, emulating it may pose a bit of a problem. I think you'll need a specific PlayStationOne emulator just to get it to work, but it's well worth it if you are into this kind of thing. (It was not released outside of Japan but is fully playable without any knowledge of Japanese).

Below is a link to an article on LSD: Dream Emulator if you're interested.

Read about it on cracked. If the grey bastard grabs you, you die in real life 8P

Meh. Might try it some time. For me, the worst part of the Slender game is not being grabbed, it's the turning around to check where he is and the fucker teleports right up to you. I rape my shift key when I play Slender. Also thinking of downloading SCP Containment Breach, as the thing I enjoy the most about Slender is attempting to lose the bastard.

Not a hack. He combined counter strike over the game and just edited it.

After the sixth page, he will ALWAYS be behind you. So check the bathrooms as early as you can.

No he input a code Of magic powers and it actually allowed a little shotgun pop up and they shot Slendy down :/
Poor Slendy, all he wants is $20

Page spawnpoints teleport. I one time checked the bathrooms, every square foot, before moving on. Several pages later, one spawned in the bathrooms. My flashlight was dead and the fucker walked through the door and grabbed me.
Yeah, he also moves.

It's a beta.

I downloaded it onto my new laptop two days ago and I'll admit the walking gets annoying (hooray for hyperspeed glitch), as well as general lack of other stuff to do besides adventure around.

The game's still very much a stimulating experience. Hope Kikiyama can give us something new soon, though.

Yeah, I just kinda wish he would pop out of nowhere and do something to get everybody excited. But it's highly unlikely.
