Slender: The Eight Pages, originally titled Slender, is a short first-person survival horror game based on the Slender Man, a creepypasta (online horror story). It was developed by independent developer Mark J. Hadley using the Unity game engine and was released in June 2012 by his one-man studio Parsec Productions.

The defenseless player must collect eight pages scattered around a dark forest while avoiding the Slender Man, who pursues them throughout the game. The Eight Pages was largely praised by critics for its effective horror and atmosphere despite its crude graphics, although some considered the gameplay repetitive and lacking replay value. The game became popular through Let's Plays and inspired many fangames based on Slender Man. Parsec Productions and Blue Isle Studios released a sequel called Slender: The Arrival the following year.
