    I bought it to try in VR, and it runs really smooth. The 2 levels I did were well made and fun to run around. It made me jump a few times. It comes with plenty of levels and even has workshop support. Great deal for the price.

    I'm just gonna get straight to the point: Slenderman's AI and the stamina both need to get reworked. 1st complaint is that Slenderman is way too unforgiving even if i'm playing on normal difficulty (Classic). He can just insta-kill me sometimes and there's nothing i can do to stop it. I think how it works is that once he sees me, he wont stop chasing me until eventually he teleports right on me and i die? Again,…
