[GAME] Haunt - The Real Slender Game

If you like Slender-type games, then you must try out Haunt. As the name suggests, it's really a good call for those who like venturing into dark woods and scary parks. The atmosphere is amazing and the graphics are ok (maybe Slender: The Arrival is a little better in this matter), but what is really good here are the sounds. Not only can you see the rain falling and the grass being blown by the wind, but you can hear it all and it's quite chilly.
I tried it for about 40 minutes and what I can say is that I very much prefer this to - sorry for the comparison, again - Slender: The Arrival for the simple fact that I could never pass level 2 from that one. It happens that in most Slender games, he appears so often and you die so fast that it's just too frustrating to play. Here the exact opposite happens: he didn't appear to me not even once, and yet I felt frightned and uneasy, especially in the creepy house with the noisy doors.
On the other hand, the area you have to run through is so large and you gotta get so many items (12 papers and, as far as I went, some keys) that it's unstimulating to keep playing. That is, of course, to me. I've never really had much patience with this type of games, so I guess other players will feel different in this aspect.
I think maybe it's time for me to give it a break from Slender games...


[EDIT] I've just discovered the game's been rebranded and altered and it seems A LOT better from the version I experienced and reviewed above. I suppose that halt from Slender games won't be too long, after all lol If you want to check this new version out, click here! It's called Haunted Memories and you'll even have weapons with you!
