Also for anyone who does think Kate made it through that window, please do explain to me how she could have done so without suffering serious injury. I just don't get how she could get up a mountain after falling one floor.


She didn't go to the mountain after jumping out of the window. The notes mention that CR met up with Lauren at the hospital and from there went to the mountain. Plus while falling one floor wouldn't be pleasant, it's not crippling if you land right.

Note 10 shows that CR continued sending letters to Kate after she came back home from the hospital. Plus she was close by enough in stage 1 for Lauren to hear her scream. And yeah in theory Kate could be alright but chances are she wouldn't have landed like a pro after desperately throwing herself through the window out of impulse.

That she was close by doesn't prove that she jumped out of the window that day (in fact it is both raining in the flashback mission whereas it's completely dry in the openning, and it is in the dead of night in flashback yet you get there at dusk in the openning). So a combination of the fall not being that serious and there being time between her escape and the start of the game.

It would still be serious to the point of very much getting in the way of hiking up the mountain. It's hard to say how much time passed, seemingly not longer than a day or so since Kate was still close by but you can never be sure with Slender Man involved. Either way, injuries from a fall like that wouldn't just heal by themselves that quickly. Especially since she was probably on the move pretty much the whole time, "running" from Slenderman as best she could after falling out a window, sticking the eight pages all over the place...

By the way, I recall Lithp suggesting that we might have been expected to assume the glass on the outside got lost among the grass. Not possible, I say:



Good luck losing anything in that grass. In other words, Kate either didn't make it out the window or it was a mistake. A mistake is not impossible but due to the level of injury Kate must have suffered from the fall, I still go with she didn't make it through.

I just got an email saying this game is coming to Steam on Halloween with new content. So I assume either Valve sorted out the option rights to The Slender Man with the devs or it'll be free. I might actually buy it again if it has Steam achievements and what not.

A new friend to look forward to meeting. Charles, perhaps?

Yeah, not buying the game unless they include a Slenderverse Mythos section on the menu like they did in the original version. I'd want to support the creators that got this whole fandom started, you know, the mythos.

That's a pretty petty thing considering that they had to take it out for legal reasons in order to sell it to begin with.

unity or flash

Is there a chance to see maybe one chapter in Unity, or flash technology. Maybe the developer can use graphics elements and some segments and put them together in a simplified flash or Unity version (I am not expert in that - maybe it's impossible). I am asking this because 1) I am huge fan of online horror games and slender man and 2) maybe someone around here could create such online game for my site http://www.darkhorrorgames.com - I would be very interested in sponsoring it. (plz pm in that case)

I am aware that this is serious PC game and cannot be compared to online games in any aspect, but there are many kids out there who would be interested in online version as well- I am sure about that.

btw... great forum - I was truly surprised to see how many active fans of slender man are there.

It's out on Steam today. Not sure what all has been added, but there are achievements and leaderboards now.

Also, apparently, your old license keys can be used to get the Steam version. Just remove the dashes when you enter it.

I poked around for a bit but i'm not sure where you're supposed to meet the new enemy. Level select just reveals the standard 5 levels + Genesis. Maybe the new enemy replaces Slender Man in the hidden stage?

I don't post much, but here I am, anyways, onto business.

So, not trying to be spoilery in any way, but the first level has been greatly expanded. I already met with the new nemesis. Dude.....it was pretty legit creepy. Also, in the beginning of the second level (eight pages) the screen turned a muted color black and white (like Whispered Faith) and I heard whispery/growly sounds. Seems like The Rake to me (although I'm not sure how feasible that is). Overall, some pretty creepy additions so far. I like it. ^__^

I only made it as far as the warehouse though. I have beat it many times but I still can't find that last generator. It seems that they have Melty (as one person called him, I generally like that name better) chasing you 24/7 after a certain point instead of switching off with Slendy (although Slendy starts poppin' in too).

How did you come across him?

I'd recommend just replaying the whole damn game. It's basically been entirely revamped. The changes are really only huge in stages 1 and 5 but 3 has much improved AI for the chaser, which makes things more intense and stage 2 has a modified starting area.

Here's a list of changes. Spoiler changes will be in, well, spoiler tags. If you don't want spoilers, just read what's unspoilered or play to see for yourself. Obviously, if you still haven't ever completed the game even before the Steam release, don't read anything:

Stage 1:

1. Front of Kate's house is slightly more decorative now.
2. A very nice new subtle Slenderman scare.
3. The stage has actually been extended to a great degree as well.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Going beyond the back gate leads you to a whole new area with more clues to find and some super, super creepy stuff. Including none other than the new monster!


Stage 2:

1. Derelict buildings now boarded off more.
2. Start off in a new area.
3. The tower in the tall-grass field can now spawn in the woods nearby instead of the field. Might be a glitch though, not sure.

Stage 3:

1. Derelict buildings now boarded off more, plus fences have barbed wire on the top.
2. Front of mine entrance changed a bit. You'll see what I mean.
3. The Chaser is now capable of running in more than just straight lines, which makes playing Chicken with them a lot more difficult/impossible.

Stage 4:

1. Fences have barbed wire on the top. Unfortunately I think this is the only change to this level. Still, the other levels have been changed so extensively, it'd be weird to just skip playing this one, IMO.

Stage 5:

1. The graffiti on the wall of the starting shack no longer shows through to the other side.
2. Forest fire segment significantly harder and also changed up a pretty high degree. Hehe, degree.
3. If you die in the final building, you're no longer sadistically sent back to the forest fire, you're sent back to just outside the building.
4. Flashlight dying now looks way more realistic. Before, it literally just looked like Lauren switched it off.
5. A much more different and satisfying ending. Unfortunately it's the same in both normal and hardcore. MAJOR SPOILERS:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Kate is pretty much confirmed to be The Chaser in it. The new monster also appears again and is confirmed to be Charlie, as well as the one who was chasing you in the final building (a Steam trading card also confirms the new monster is Charlie). Also, CR is a lot less of a nice guy than he makes himself out to be.


Finally, the secret level and Genesis still seem to be exactly the same.

So a quick youtube look and damn it's been improved.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Also Vindication at last; the chaser is Kate.

It was obvious. People were reading way too far into things to argue otherwise.
