### 5/5 — 没

*2026-08-20*

有点无聊

### 5/5 — Prob the highest quality horror game out there considering its age

*2026-08-08, version 1.4*

I thought this horror game will be horrible and will have lots of code rot, well this game was yet fun and code reliable

### 5/5 — It’s mid

*2026-06-30, version 1.4*

I don’t like that we don’t really get to explore and I don’t like Slender-man appearing around I turn I turn he’s there I turn again he’s there again to kill me it’s kinda annoying and rage bating but it’s fine and can you add proxy’s in it like Masky or hoodie and they can help us out I would appreciate it

### 5/5 — ПОЧЕМУ

### 5/5 — Muy muy bueno

*2026-03-01, version 1.4*

Lo jugue por primera vez en un samsung galaxy core, hoy con un 17 pro max sigo haciendolo, estoy pensando en la versión premium a ver que tiene, estare avisando

### 5/5 — Childhood classic

*2026-01-31*

Haven’t played this since my iPhone 5 lol I was going through my old apps and found this it instantly took me back to elementary school days lol I just graduated college the time difference is crazy. Such a nostalgic feeling. I always liked the first game over the 2nd due to the first game felt more like an actual senderman game and the 2nd game kinda just felt like a random horror game just with slenderman as the enemy. Anyways it’s still great.

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2025-12-27, version 1.4*

I loved playing this game I also recommend this game for people who haven’t played horror games before becuse it is verey fun and not give you nightmares for a week tipe of scary

### 5/5 — Super fun and scary except one problem…

*2025-10-05*

I dowloaded this game because the preview looked scary which it is, when there is audio. I dont know why but even when I dowloaded 2 other slenderman games there was no audio. I used my brothers phone to play this game because the audio of this game works on his and when I played it it was super fun. Very scary and fun except the audio problem.

### 5/5 — Обожаю

*2025-10-02*

Плюсы:
-игра без интернета

Минусы:

Игра мне очень понравилась, качественно, не лагает, без интернета, так ещё и бесплатно, это всё что мне нужно было. Спасибо разработчикам!

### 5/5 — Хм

*2025-09-16*

Игра очень классная, захватывает дух, но.. как от него избавится,  я знаю что нужно отвернутся от него, но когда я собрал две записки, я увидел его, отвернулся и он сразу напал на меня, если отвернутся не помогает, как тогда спасаться
