This is a sort of "horror platformer". It started out as a shooter where you are fighting off random mobs that breed and evolve, but I realized I couldn't pull that off well enough. I changed it to a shooter platformer, but realized making it scary was more fun than making it a good shooter.

It ended up kind of like Slender 2d, so I made the backstory be how the Slenderman was created.

The actual level was hurriedly made in the last few hours, so you don't really need to "beat" it for the full experience. The real feature is the mood set by the darkness and the slenderman appearing and startling you.
