The Fears to Fathom: Home Alone episode is a great introduction, too.Slender: The Eight Pages, originally known simply as Slender, is a free download indie-developed first-person survival horror video game released in June 2012 as a beta for Microsoft Windows and OS X, utilizing the Unity engine.
While each episode is pretty short and highly linear, the atmosphere and build-up to the jumpscares are still quite effective and make it a highly creepy short horror story that you’re reliving. It’s highly stylized with its graphics and atmosphere, though, making it a memorable experience.Īll in all, the Fears to Fathom series is a great collection of horror games that you can play without any chronological order. That, coupled with the lack of any critically player-driven choice gives this game a low replay value. Additionally, the game is short and can be finished in under half an hour. However, this limits your free will and locks you into one linear path, so don’t expect any ending other than the Good and Bad ones. This is also what makes the game more than a short horror experience, as you actually go about reenacting the events as it’s narrated. This is due to how it’s technically a flashback-the narration of the online horror story he’s recounting immediately establishes that he got out alive. What’s interesting about this game is that it’s already a given that the protagonist will survive whatever horrors await him.
You also get phone messages from NPCs to add to the immersion. Throughout the story, you can freely explore Miles’ home-although you’ll always trigger narration text when you reach certain areas or do certain actions. He starts off by recounting the harrowing encounter while he was home alone. In the first episode, Fears to Fathom: Home Alone, you play as the 14-year-old Miles.
