Today's topic is one that any true horror game player would know, Slender. This is a game that's just about as simple as a horror game can get. You're placed in a forest (not told how) and must search the whole place for 8 pages to something before being allowed to escape. The trick is that you have this faceless creature named Slender Man stalking you the whole time. If you look him in the face, you go crazy and lose. You are only equipped with a flashlight with a limited battery life, as well as the ability to sprint for a bit of time between breaks. I have yet to actually see how this game ends, for the farthest I have gotten is getting the 8th page, and then turning around, only to be Slendered to death, so I can't give away the ending. This game has been around so long and is such a staple in horror games that it's idea has been taken for a few other games, as well as different versions of the game itself like Slender Haunt, Slender Christmas, and other Slender Man games. Not only was the game a big hit, but Slender became a very big name, and has made appearnances in some TV shows like Gravity Falls on Disney Channel, has been on a few games himself, and is in many mods of games like a mod for the famed SCP - Containment Breach. All together, you have to play this game if you even want to think about playing horror games.

Escape from Lavender Town
WARNING, SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE GAME IN THIS ONE, DON'T READ IF YOU WANT TO PLAY BEFORE YOU READ CRITIQUES
Today I thought I'd throw in a very short one, a Creepypasta game called Escape from Lavender Town. This is very short and very straight forward. You start out at the north entrance of Lavender town and can't get out of any of the exits. You talk to people in that city and they say some creepy things. Finally you enter the Lavender Town Tower and the receptionist lady tells you that the game is not finished, so you quit out thinking it is actually over, but it's not. After a few seconds a creepy picture (not scary, but weird comes up, and then the game comes back up but very weird and messed up with scary Pokemon pop-ups happening every few seconds. After doing some talking you decide to enter the tower and see nobody in there, but now you see stairs. You go up the stairs and you see a hallways with bloody bodies on the sides giving you messages to not go forward, but you do, and you find an old man. You talk to him and he starts giving you these horror messages about Lavender Town and even uses your name in his speech. Finally once he finished a screen comes up with words being typed in talking about how you survived what should have killed you, and how 4 hours of the Lavender Town music has killed many people and made people go insane, and finally tells you that you can correctly quit out now.
I find most games based of Creepypasta readings to be very cool, and this one was very close resemblance to the Creepypasta story itself. There's not much to say about this one but it is a short game worth playing if you got a few minutes on your hands.
Scary Rating: 2/10
Awesomeness rating: 9/10
Innovation Rating: 6/10 (it uses your name.. so an ok score here)
