About the Game

Welcome to Slenderman: Shadow of the Forest

In this thrilling survival game, your heart will race faster. You must survive in a dark and sinister forest where every shadow and rustle could be the last thing you hear. Your main goal is to find a way out of the forest by gathering all the necessary parts to repair the car or find another path to safety.

To repair the car and escape this nightmare

You will need to find wheels and keys hidden in various abandoned houses scattered throughout the forest. But be careful – every step could lead you to an encounter with Slenderman, a terrifying creature that won't miss an opportunity to get rid of you and thwart your escape.



If repairing the car seems impossible or too risky, you can try to call the police. However, be prepared for the connection to be unstable, and reaching help may be extremely difficult. Tension and horror will accompany you at every step as you try to find your way out of this darkness.

In Slenderman: Shadow of the Forest, you will need not only agility and wit but also nerves of steel. Can you overcome your fears and find the path to freedom, or will Slenderman become your eternal nightmare? Time will tell.
