Web version was really difficult to control, it was like my mouse wasn't centered properly or something.

dont like the controls, so weird, but i like the idea

I've just tested myself again, and I do not have this issue myself. I would like to hear from others if they have that issue. It can be slightly confusing at the beginning, since you are looking upwards on the web version for some reason, but other than that it works fine for me. - Thanks for playing! :-)

Very Slender and very terrifying. :D Didn't have too much of an issue with the controls, something about them was a bit odd, but it didn't bother me too much.

pretty nice slender-type game! got too laggy for me. good job!

This was pretty creepy. The music was a nice touch, a bit jump-scare as I wasn't expecting it. It was a bit laggy for me as well but otherwise it was fun. Good job.

didn't load for me, just had a white screen :(

A good start, the audio and visuals really made the mood. Fell off the world on my first attempt, perhaps a little too dark to be able to figure out what you are meant to do. The mouse issue is because you didn't get unity to grab the mouse and the mouse look is much slower than mouse movement, which is a little disorientating.

Nice game!
The mood was really nice on this and the "shocking" music felt great :D
Good work!

Thanks for the headsup Piat, I'll look into it when I get a chance. I already have a newer version where you can't fall off the map, and I am planning to add the ability to make the game lighter/darker. But I'll upload those sometime after judging is over, so that I'm not breaking any competition rules.
Thanks to all of you for your feedback - It means a lot to me :-)

Haha good game. Very Slender-esque. Perhaps a little too dark, hard to play. I liked the ending too :)

Hey, the text doesn't all fit on the screen. But damn, this is a creepy game. It was lagging a little and stuff, but that didn't stop me getting scared! I can see just a *tad* of Slender in this. :p Also F is a little weird for an action key, but whatever. Nice work!

mekuri 2013-12-19 22:10

In my offline version of the game I found the issue that caused the lag (gained almost 50fps on my system). Also I fixed the text so that it now fits on screen. I must have been really tired to miss that part on release night lol. I decided not to change the lighting, since I felt that would be against the competition rules.

Thanks for all the feedback - It's really appreciated!

YOU! Nicely done! This game gave me goosebumps. Its not an original way of using this theme but its nicely executed! One point though, the music gets stuck when you die and restart the game. It will only stop when you encounter the creep and escape.

It would be great if some basic goals in game would be obviously

Felt very inspired my Slenderman, though the sound effects almost had me feeling of a horror game if it weren't for the orchestra hits which felt a bit out of place and comical.

The game would've been easier on the eyes if the webpage background was also black. Red text on a black background is not easy to read unless you really up the font.

Good attempt at a horror game.

You should lock the mouse ;)

vanhavihtahousu 2014-01-06 20:58

Like it has been said the mouse control is really an issue here but otherwise i like the mood. I had a little heart attack on the orchetral hits and the red flashing screen... Sudden loud noises are really a risky move and usually it is a cheap move in horror genre but somehow i liked it this time
