Super Freak
Has anyone played this yet? Its a free game for mac and pc and its pretty damn scary. I played it last night and it was a bad idea. I jumped quite a few times. Its a great horror game!
"You start in a dark wooded area with no weapons, a sense that something horrible is about to happen, and a nagging feeling that you can’t do much to prevent it.Based on the Slender Man mythology popularized through a Something Awful thread, and further spread through forum chatter, YouTube videos and even Minecraft, the game’s tall, unrelenting creature pursues you through the inky black of a fenced-in forest. Slender doesn’t bother telling you why you’re there or if it’s possible to escape. You’re given a standard video game goal – find eight pages – but the terror unlocked by discovering and collecting the pages obliterates the task’s comforting familiarity."
Few horror games thrust you so directly into the heart of fear. All of Slender’s elements – the lack of a map, the threat of instant death, the slight element of unpredictability of the page locations – all contribute to a pervasive sense of hopeless vulnerability as you frantically flee an unknowable predator who may or may not be directly behind you.

It's funny, big AAA games like Dead Space have enormous budgets compared to this game, that I think less than 10 people worked on, and Dead Space, with its great animation, high resolution textures, etc, doesn't even come close to the immersion you get with Slender. I regret playing it only because it's going to be hard to sleep tonight lol.
