What it is about

People are disappearing. The clues don't make sense. And something impossibly tall is watching from the shadows. The Slender Man Mystery is a solo investigation and horror TTRPG where you take the role of an investigator drawn into a disturbing mystery surrounding the legendary Slender Man. Follow the clues. Survive seven increasingly dangerous turns. Uncover what happened. But be careful — the closer you get to the truth, the closer he gets to you.
