never owned the game, but played through a few times ON PC
I played this game a few times at my friend's house back in the day. I never beat it by capturing all the scrolls, however, I did continually get caught by Slender-man himself multiple times in the process.
I want to also note, I played this on PC, not ios.
I already know this game laid the groundwork for many more titles and the eerie elements, and jumpscare / anticipatory nature of slenderman was the sort of meat and potatoes of this game. And for the first playthroughs, it did feel nice to play.
However, the game gets extremely redundant and downright annoying after a little bit. It's like yeah i have to hunt for these scrolls but god dammit my R&G isn't good enough to avoid the slenderman. For instance, the minute you'd witness him in game, you were most likely dead. The chances of survival were extremely slim which made the game rewarding to complete but like i mentioned, fucking annoying. I could also imagine that once complete, there weren't many other in game incentives to bring you back other than the raw gameplay itself. If anything, I could see someone booting this up on halloween to get in the spirit. You'd definitely need cooldown periods between sessions though.
