Slender

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.
