This is a big nothingburger for me. When I play a Slender Man game, I expect to see the Slender Man at least once. I played two separate runs and collected all 8 pages both times, and never saw as much as a glimpse of him. The only remotely scary thing in this game is the scream at the beginning, as well as the AI Markiplier voice in the tutorial – the tutorial also feels tacked-on and pointless.
Credit where credit is due, the atmosphere is great. I really loved the dark and stormy ambiance, and it's quite refreshing to have a Slender Man game in a sparse, open area. The house also seemed rather cramped and uncomfortable, which is a great setting for a horror game. I do wish that the spooky music would actually loop properly and build up the further you progress, instead of just playing each part sequentially and then stopping.
Overall, this game doesn't feel ready for publishing at the moment. There needs to be an actual Slender Man in it before you can call it a Slender game. I really do wish to see this completed, though. Keep working on it, and I'm certain it will become a good game.
