Games Like Slender: Pages, a Flashlight and Something Behind You

Slender made a whole genre out of a flashlight, eight pages in a dark forest and a tall figure who is closer every time you turn around. These games keep that loop of searching in the dark and running from something you cannot fight, from the official sequel to free phone games and co-op mazes.

The games

5 of the 8 games in this guide are not on PlayStation and are left out. Show them all.

  1. Slender: The Arrival key art: the faceless Slender Man in a dark suit in front of a forest lit orange by fire SurvivalSlender: The ArrivalThe official full game: pages in the dark woods, a flashlight, and Slender Man closer each time you look round.
  2. Blair Witch key art: the silhouette of a man and his dog walking into a forest washed in red, a stick-figure shape formed by the branches above, a wrecked truck and a tent nearby PsychologicalBlair WitchA flashlight, a camcorder and a dog in the Black Hills Forest at night, where the woods loop and figures circle in the dark.
  3. Labyrinthine: a misty hedge maze at night lit by a street lamp, with a cartoon cowboy duck sign pointing This Way Co-opLabyrinthineDark mazes with up to seven friends, and more than thirty kinds of monster when you split up.

Slender: The Arrival is the official full game and the place to start: you search dark forests, an empty house and a mine for a missing friend, collecting pages with only a flashlight while Slender Man appears a little closer each time you look round. It is on PC, the consoles and Android.

On phones, two free games keep the collect-and-run idea short and sharp. Slendrina: The Cellar sends you into a pitch-dark cellar to find its books while a pale woman in white comes for you, and EYES - The Horror Game has you gather bags of money in dark rooms while a monster hunts you, with a PC version as well.

If it was the woods you liked, Blair Witch takes you into the Black Hills Forest at night with a flashlight, a camcorder and your dog, where the paths loop and stick figures hang in the trees. The Cursed Forest strands you in a dark autumn wood after a crash, gathering what a ritual needs while its creatures come for you, and Skinwalker Hunt sends you after a creature of legend through forests at night, a hunt that can turn on you. The Radio Tower, pay what you want on itch.io, has you climb a steel mast in a red, fog-choked forest while something in the trees waits.

With friends, Labyrinthine takes up to eight players into dark mazes with more than thirty kinds of monster, and splitting up to cover ground leaves each of you alone in the dark, as Slender always did.

If you only try one, play Slender: The Arrival for the real thing, or Slendrina: The Cellar for something free on your phone.
