Scott: Was this game ever scary, or we’re OG UA-camrs over playing it? Scott *LITERALLY* 5 seconds later: Okay maybe if I take my headphones off and close my eyes it won’t be as scary.
I think the reason why most of us who played slender thought it was scary was because most of us played it at a pretty young age, but the biggest one is the following: Slenderman is the embodiment of what most people find scary. You dont know where he is, you cant even look at him without the jarring piano sound jumpscare. You know that he knows where you are at all times. He makes you afraid to turn around because if hes there youre screwed. Hes also very much on the uncanny valley region of humanoid creatures.
It's also because there just weren't as many of this type of scary game back then. There was, like, Silent Hill and Fatal Frame, but the "all you have is a flashlight and you suck at running" genre wasn't quite as oversaturated as it is now.
The thing that scared me when I was a youngin during the slender man craze is I read a post somewhere about how slenderman is actually a mental virus, the more you think about it, the more paranoid you become, the more you see/hear things in real life. I honestly could not stop thinking about slenderman after I read that and it really freaked me out back then.
@@GarrettBlackmon that is in a way true, i remember hearing creepypastas from those kinds of youtubers who read those, like lazy masquerade. The more i thought about the scary monster or whatever it was, the more afraid i was when i was trying to fall asleep. The more i started forgetting it, the less i thought aboit it and the less paranoid and afraid i became. Not sore if theres a name for that phenomenon but if there isnt there definately should be! Like "the paranoia paradox" or something
I pretty much only use a controller, so for the odd game like Half-Life where I decide to use keyboard and mouse, I always have to remind myself where the keys are.
My favorite version of Slenderman was where you could change it to daylight mode and $20 mode, so anytime you came across Slenderman - it was playing Ron Browz’s “Gimme $20” made the game so much less terrifying and more hilarious lmao chefs kiss
I remember this time a guy was playing this in the computer lab, and my brothers GF hit the lever on his chair to make it drop, and bro was so focused on the game he let out an enormous shriek as his chair lowered. When asked why he got so scared he said “I genuinely thought I had summoned satan and was being dropped down to hell”
The notes have more than 8 set spots they can spawn so sometimes those structures will have a page and sometimes they won't. Also you need to conserve the flashlight battery or it runs out.
@@AmaraQuest Yeah, the flashlight can turn on and off, you're supposed to keep it off as much as possible, especially in the beginning before you have enough pages to be at risk.
Started watching this with the exact same mindset of "there's no way this game was actually as scary as we all thought it was in high school" and now I'm hiding in the comments bein a baby
Still holds up well for an indie Unity game from a decade ago with just one mechanic. I think the best detail is that anything not lit up by your flashlight is *black*. Not just "dark", it's pitch black, like a real forest at night.
Only 6 minutes in and this is already one of my favorite of his videos. -Scott pronouncing Slenderman like a last name, like Newman or Coleman. -Scott repeatedly doing the Jenna Marbles "hullo?" to absolutely no one.
I felt that instead of pronouncing it like a last name he was pronouncing it like he was describing a rather thin guy, like "oh, did you see that Slender Man standing over there? He sure is slender looking!"
I mean nowadays it's kinda cheesy and overdone because the genre kinda bent around it, but Scott, my brother in Christ Almighty, you must trust and believe that this 8.99 Steam game kept me up at night as a little 13 year old boy lol.
Playing this with lights off and headphones on is an entirely different experience than playing with the lights on and now headphones. It just becomes immediately way more terrifying than it has any right to be.
I want you to play FNAF 1 now after this. I haven’t watched gameplay channels in years. Would be interesting to see a commentary channel such as yourself do a little more of these throwback gaming videos.
I believe there is a difference between actually scary and jumpscare scary. You get spooked for a second then it's over but when it's actually scary you are constantly fearing something and that's what you want
That’s fair for people who experience it that way, but jumpscares aren’t just over after a few seconds for all of us. My complex developmental PTSD’a trigger and startle responses involve screaming, aggression towards others and myself, vomiting, bladder problems, stress-induced seizures, etc. - it completely ends the rest of my day, often multiple days after too. I have heart problems and amnesic blackouts besides, and I’ve had real emergency cardiac events from what ‘little’ things that shouldn’t bother anyone else do to me. This sort of stuff is a real safety issue for some people, and that makes them _very_ scary. It’s totally fine to be unaffected and unimpressed by jumpscares, but the effect can’t be downplayed for everyone!
@@jasond.b-w I'm not saying jumpscares aren't spooky for the few seconds while the loud noises play but outside of outliers like this it quickly fades and you aren't scared anymore. They are cheap little jolts to a fight or flight which in the long run aren't scary at all
@jasond.b-w dude you're an extreme outlier, you shouldnt expect people to mention extremely specific outliers such as yourself. We all know the point they were getting at.
Slenderman is one of the old internet things that today’s internet kids still hear about. My youngest niece mentioned him to me recently. Also, yes to more games.
Agreed that it always felt like the youtubers were playing up their reactions. Then again I can see how playing with friends could up the tension when playing a scary game.
my slenderman memory is from eighth grade, in my lil catholic school, and we convinced our teacher to let us play this on the smart board (taking turns at the computer, but for the whole class to watch) at the end of every day. tragically i, an absolute weenie who jumps at everything, sat in the very front of the room, in front of the screen. as if i weren't bullied enough already, i would routinely shriek whenever vaguely scared by this game 😂
I still remember watching dan and phil play slender and then again play SpongeBob slender pants and both were very scary to watch. They were practically shitting themselves
Might be the nostalgia but there's something extremely cosy about this video. Reminds me of being a uni student, wrapped up in blankets, watching YT vids on the weekend.
It's best to hit the restroom first asap to get it out of the way & when he's less active. Also, NEVER stand still haha. Way to bring it back! 😂 It was great!
lol, i love how he is shitting himself from the start when slender man won't even show up until you have picked up the first page. Really shows how much respect he has for this game, and how much its pulling him in already. Love this guy.
being 13 and watching every video mark and felix put out playing this damn game is such a core memory from my youth, thanks for the terrifying walk down memory lane
I remember playing it as a kid and not finding it scary (but to be fair I was a creepy, horror-obsessed child) especially knowing after the first time playing what he was gonna do, like the static and all that but we would also play in real life and THAT was terrifying lmao
Scott: youtubers are just being silly! I'll play it and it'll be way less scary! Scott: decides he should play it, being the person with the most possible anxiety
I was in college when this game came out. My friends told me I wasn’t allowed to play it with them anymore. When I controlled the game, I never got scared and just sprinted everywhere to try to get notes. I got mad whenever I got caught before 8
Before I actually get into this video. The game was about as scary as you wanted it to be. My friends and I used to put each other in a dark room with the laptop, noise canceling headphones playing the audio of the game, and a phone recording so we could see each others reactions. We did it this way because it was less scary with friends watching you live. You had a bit more courage. But when you immerse yourself into a video game like slender man with the goal to be scared, it was beyond terrifying. This game specifically had that feeling from when you were a kid and your parent or older family member was “chasing” you. Or that feeling when your light switch is one the other side of the house, and you have to turn it off and then walk through the dark emptiness to get to your bed and you always feel like something is right behind you. I actually love that feeling, so playing this game was always fun and I always tried to enhance that feeling as much as I could. But if you played it during the day and you didn’t really WANT to be scared, you could mentally prepare yourself for the jumps and kind of will yourself to not be scared. But that’s loser behavior lol have a little fun. Get weird. Get scared. Anyway, that’s my perspective on this game lol it was fun if you wanted it to be, and it was scary if you wanted it to be
... from what i remember, the static comes when Slenderman is very close. .... i really wish you did this as a livestream. i wanna help you!! poor scott!
In case you ever play this again here’s a few ~pointers~ -you have to conserve your battery, there is a way to turn it on and off -the more pages you have, the more aggressive slender man is. My strategy was to locate most of the pages then speed run getting them. Starting with ones where you are in inclosed spaces like the bathroom, tanks, tunnel. You really have to conserve battery in the beginning with this method. -the pages do move around, but it’s not totally random, there is like 4 variances for each page.
"I'm gonna go hug my wife and kiss my baby" what a weenie, needs his wife and baby to comfort him after he peed his little pants LOL All jokes aside that was just so wholesome and sweet and adorable. Scott as a dad is beautiful
after eyes the horror game i don't think i'll ever find another horror game in this style scary. its all the intensity of slender but with a floating head lady that's just really disturbing to look at.
I remember when the first Thief game came out, the whole underground city level was absolutely terrifying, and I didn't understand why it was scaring me as much as it was. Looking back, and looking at games like Slender, I think a lot of it is the fight or flight instinct. If a game puts you in situations that triggers that instinct, and then partially or completely takes away the 'fight' option and encourages stealth or just running away, all you've got left is that absolute primal terror.
As someone that exclusively plays horror games for content, and gets tons of comments saying 'it's not that scary' or I'm faking being scared'. This video makes me so happy. Thank you, Scott haha
Ha, this was great and exactly my reaction when I play games like this! Btw, my favorite horror game youtuber recently soft-retired from playing scary games, so i hope we get more of this kind of content in the future! Love Scott's sense of humor and genuine reactions to the scares.
Okay Ima try to put in TIMESTAMPS for all of y'all who (like me) wish someone would spoil it. 3:40 first note found, Scott realises Slenderman doesn't start chasing you until you find the first note lol 4:53 second note found 6:20 third note found; Scott has put his headphones back on and is understandably terrified but nothing's happened yet 6:25 creepy hum sound?? 7:18 screen goes weird, Scott freaks out 7:34 SLENDERMAN SIGHTED (jumpscare) 7:41 slenderman appears onscreen 8:35 the strugglebug almost fell :-( 9:50 Scott has rejected the hypothesis that it was not as scary as they made it seem, screen goes fuzzy 10:10 nothing even happens but Scott freaks out over seeing a cary which makes it seem like something's happening 10:20 fourth note found 10:43 Scott finds a tunnel and is rather unhappy about it; the screen goes fuzzy 10:55 flashlight dies yippee! 11:20 Scott claims to see slenderman and a scary sound plays but I don't see him? (jumpscare) 11:42 some woman starts breathing in the audio girl back up 11:50 Slenderman kills us (worst jumpscare yet) 12:00 "it is as scary as those UA-camrs made it seem like it was" 12:20 "we're gonna do this one last time... and frankly we're gonna speedrun it" 13:18 first note found 14:22 second note found, I'm starting to notice a faint drumming sound 14:51 third note found, pretty sure finding notes starts up creepy sounds, cause now there's music 15:50 screen goes weird for a second with a loud noise (jumpscare) 16:58 screen goes fuzzy 17:06 fourth note found 17:31 Scott sends it and goes into the bathroom 18:41 nasty whistle-sounding sound starts up (or more like a growly sound, actually. anyway, it's bad news) 18:47 flashlight starts dying 😞✋ (dies pretty much immediately after) 19:16 fifth note found but not collected so I guess it doesn't count 19:23 death :-) (jumpscare) 19:35 Scott is mad
what was scary about this game to me was not the atmosphere, but the fact that the AI always knew your location, like no matter where you were and hiding wouldnt work. It wasnt that advanced enough where it was detection-based, so it being constantly aware of where you are was mortifying
I personally think that slender 8 pages is very freaky and sometimes nerve inducing, but slender the arrival is in my opinion much better at the fear factor that eight pages wanted to reach
When I was in high school, my younger friend and some kids from the neighborhood were over at my friend's house playing this. In the middle of the day, mind you. And I had to run home to get something. I came back and opened the door without knocking (because this was my best friend and I just left for 5 minutes) and all of them turned and screamed bloody murder. It's actually hilarious in hind sight
i really relate to being terrified even when you know you haven't met the in-game conditions for the monster to even spawn yet lol, i played amnesia the dark descent back in its heyday and even when i knew for a fact that the area i was in wouldn't have any threats present at all i would still be pissing my pants at every sound i heard
This got me thinking it would be cool to see a documentary style video on the slenderman phenomenon, they could interview youtubers, find the author of the creepypasta ect
Scott is literally the white guy in horror movies who goes into the haunted house saying "HELLO?" every corner he turns.
This is some funny shit

slender was the first ever horror game i ever played too lol, and i was probably 9 or 10 when it came out
As someone who plays video games very frequently, Scott reminding himself that his pinky is on sprint is the funniest thing ever.
I've been an avid gamer for years and i still forget which buttons do what during horror games lol
I have a terrible time with run being shift for these games. Whhhhhhyyy??! Constantly apologizing to the viewers.
I pretty much only use a controller, so for the odd game like Half-Life where I decide to use keyboard and mouse, I always have to remind myself where the keys are.
@@leadpencil-223even with normal games i literally also forget how to play lol until the game reminds me "you can use WASD to move, etc"

Dan and phil playing the Shrek version of slender was without a doubt the most disturbing version of slender that I’ve seen
i agree. its way scarier than the original
Lmaoo I buried that memory deep down, it was beautifully horrifying tho
lol fr I love that vid tho
omg you just unlocked that memory

The timing of Scott finding the tunnel note and being mad and slenderman showing up us absolutely comedic

Same! I started it but I know I can’t finish.
Oh my gosh…Scott is dipping into the gaming community EVERYBODY STAY CALM! STAY. CALM. WE CAN’T SCARE HIM AWAY
I don’t think I’ve ever heard Scott swear. I’m impressed. Not by the word or anything just the experience of hearing him in peril
the ambience is everything. as a middle schooler when this game was popular, my friends and i would turn off all the lights just to watch playthroughs
listening to scott talk about slenderman chasing him after collecting one page maybe not being true whilst the slenderman booms play is so funny
Everyone says "It's not that bad" until they get to the shower building.
Slenderman is one of the old internet things that today’s internet kids still hear about. My youngest niece mentioned him to me recently.

10:24 Scott says “I’m halfway done” right at the halfway point
This is some high-quality content, Scott. I would absolutely watch you play more horror games.
All the times Scott is telling us to let him know if anything bad happens.. me: "I'm afraid I can't do that, good sir. I am not looking either. 😶"
Agreed that it always felt like the youtubers were playing up their reactions. Then again I can see how playing with friends could up the tension when playing a scary game.
The second that game started I swear I got flashbacks lol. I love how his fear level went up 110% almost instantly
1st rule of playing a horror game NEVER tell someone else you're doing it. They will always find a way to scare you~
“Someone turning that into a meme about me.” That’s how you know comedy is Scott’s coping mechanism.

The scariest thing to come from Slender was the two girls who tried to kill their friend to make a sacrifice to Slender Man

Missed opportunity to have your wife roll up behind you in a cobbled together slender outfit and then fade out the video to obnoxiously loud static

Way to bring it back! 😂 It was great!
I thought you were making a joke about going to the bathroom before playing so you don't piss yourself

3:40 first note found, Scott realises Slenderman doesn't start chasing you until you find the first note lol
4:53 second note found
6:20 third note found; Scott has put his headphones back on and is understandably terrified but nothing's happened yet
6:25 creepy hum sound??
7:18 screen goes weird, Scott freaks out
7:34 SLENDERMAN SIGHTED (jumpscare)
7:41 slenderman appears onscreen
8:35 the strugglebug almost fell :-(
9:50 Scott has rejected the hypothesis that it was not as scary as they made it seem, screen goes fuzzy
10:10 nothing even happens but Scott freaks out over seeing a cary which makes it seem like something's happening
10:20 fourth note found
10:43 Scott finds a tunnel and is rather unhappy about it; the screen goes fuzzy
10:55 flashlight dies yippee!
11:20 Scott claims to see slenderman and a scary sound plays but I don't see him? (jumpscare)
11:42 some woman starts breathing in the audio girl back up
11:50 Slenderman kills us (worst jumpscare yet)
12:00 "it is as scary as those UA-camrs made it seem like it was"
12:20 "we're gonna do this one last time... and frankly we're gonna speedrun it"
13:18 first note found
14:22 second note found, I'm starting to notice a faint drumming sound
14:51 third note found, pretty sure finding notes starts up creepy sounds, cause now there's music
15:50 screen goes weird for a second with a loud noise (jumpscare)
16:58 screen goes fuzzy
17:06 fourth note found
17:31 Scott sends it and goes into the bathroom
18:41 nasty whistle-sounding sound starts up (or more like a growly sound, actually. anyway, it's bad news)
18:47 flashlight starts dying 😞✋ (dies pretty much immediately after)
19:16 fifth note found but not collected so I guess it doesn't count
19:23 death :-) (jumpscare)
19:35 Scott is mad
The pain knowing the flashlight would turn off eventually because Scott had it on the entire time
If there are people so young that they didn’t experience that game first hand, I don’t want to be on the internet anymore
As someone who fully believed that Slenderman was real, and who was like 20 when it hit it's popularity, that shit scared the hell outta me. Lol
what was scary about this game to me was not the atmosphere, but the fact that the AI always knew your location, like no matter where you were and hiding wouldnt work. It wasnt that advanced enough where it was detection-based, so it being constantly aware of where you are was mortifying
"When were you gunna speak up?"
I was literally screaming at you
I personally think that slender 8 pages is very freaky and sometimes nerve inducing, but slender the arrival is in my opinion much better at the fear factor that eight pages wanted to reach
When I was in high school, my younger friend and some kids from the neighborhood were over at my friend's house playing this. In the middle of the day, mind you. And I had to run home to get something. I came back and opened the door without knocking (because this was my best friend and I just left for 5 minutes) and all of them turned and screamed bloody murder. It's actually hilarious in hind sight
Literally subscribed to this channel 5 min before this was posted lmao perfect timing
i really relate to being terrified even when you know you haven't met the in-game conditions for the monster to even spawn yet lol, i played amnesia the dark descent back in its heyday and even when i knew for a fact that the area i was in wouldn't have any threats present at all i would still be pissing my pants at every sound i heard
watching this at 2 am is the perfect idea
Watching this at 2 am again is the perfect idea
Watching this at 1:30 am is the best idea I’m right with you
This got me thinking it would be cool to see a documentary style video on the slenderman phenomenon, they could interview youtubers, find the author of the creepypasta ect
The difference between playing a scary game, and watching someone play a scary game is suprisingly large
Can confirm, the game made me crap my pantaloonez more than once.
Years ago I would go for late night walks while playing the music from this game....Why am I the way that I am
😂
"He's standing there just like a guy in the dark"
“He’s just standing there like a guy in the dark” 🤣🤣🤣
love this being my first exposure to slenderman
Still fuckin scary to this day
I'm here for Scott is Struggling at horror games.
