Slender Man Video Game

[Kriven]

Visuals themselves are the least important factor in any form of horror. It's the end of the movie when you finally see the monster that is the least terrifying scene, because nothing is visually terrifying about a monster. It is the idea of the monster that creeps into your thoughts and leaves you peeking around corners for weeks. The same applies for games.

Sound and atmosphere are far more important than "The Monster" ever will be. The crunch of leaves beneath your feet, the heavy chug of panting, tired breath, the hot clouds whisping off your lips, the crackle of twigs and branches. It could hear any of those things, and that's what gets the hair standing on edge. Not what it looks like.
