A Stereoscopic Review of Haunt: The Real Slender Game


Hello Beautiful people and welcome to a Stereoscopic Review of Haunt: The Real Slender Game. Inspired by the original Slender: The Eight Pages, and developed with the Unity Engine this game adds a unique vision to the Slenderman legend.

But enough of that, let's get straight to the preview, as you can see from the menu screen you are immediately greeted with, the entire menu is in 3D space which has been pretty promising in the past. However, upon diving into a new game, that is not the case. As you can see here, the hand and torch models are off center and very close to your perspective with a rather unusual glitch making your character appear holographic.

The scrapbook is also displayed at this uncomfortable depth, forcing me to drop the 3D depth far below default levels in order to view properly. Upon certain objects, lighting is displaced between left and right eyes, and some levels of ghosting appears around certain objects highlighted with your torchlight. Though the game does give you options to adjust the graphical settings, there doesn't seem to be any toggles to adjust these glitches for a better 3D experience.

Which, in summary, gives this game the lowest rating of, "Not Recommended" as the amount of bugs that cannot be toggled in-game,  make it too distracting to give a player an imersive experience and therefore should only be played in 2D.

Thanks for watching, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions for the next game I should review.

And until next time, stay groovy, stay crazy, happy gaming.

A Stereoscopic Review of Slender: The Eight Pages



Hello Everybody and welcome to a Stereoscopic Review of Slender: The Eight Pages.

Probably the most viral Indie game of 2012, if not all time. Started by a single developer who built it
off the unity engine and released it as a free download online where it received incredible praise for it's establishment of atmosphere and how legitimately scary players found it.

Now before I start, there's one thing I need to clear up, this is not a reaction video. The internet is already saturated with "Let's Play Slender" videos. So if you're looking for a reaction video, look elsewhere, but if you're looking to see how well Slender performs in Stereoscopic 3D, then by all means, keep watching.

Now with that out of the way, starting with the intro-title, I am getting very good vibes considering that the text is not on a 2D plane. Whereas the gameplay itself, (moaning in delight). Everything displays where it's supposed to be, There are no offsetting shadows (unlike some other horror games). Literally the only complaint I have against this game is when you're finally caught by Slender-man, his face is displayed uncomfortably close to your perspective, however it is a  brief moment of discomfort that is most appropriate for the context of the game.

Altogether, I'd rate this game as Excellent, as this game performs beautifully in 3D and can greatly enhance a player's experience of immersion within the environment. In fact, I'd say it is a must for anyone with a 3D-Vision setup.
