I was thinking, we really need to ask more about Slenderman Games on this site! I mean how many of you play any Slender game like The 8 Pages, Haunt, The Arrival and so many more? These games are so popular yet they aren't on this site! I just want people to start to ask more questions and-if you have enough reputation- add more tags about the Slender games! :)

Never heard of these games? Here is the link to the official site of the first ever slender game! http://www.parsecproductions.net/slender/

    There's a one-man solution to this problem that you can implement on your own. Ask some questions about the games!

    We don't ask questions because we need questions. We ask them because we want answers.

  • "These games are so popular yet they aren't on this site!" + no link to the games. That keeps them kinda unknown to us now doesn't it?

  • Sorry about that... Jul 2, 2013 at 22:49
  • Who are 'we'? Why should I ask question about a game, when i don't have a question to start with? That doesn't actually make any logical sense. Jul 3, 2013 at 23:41

With very few exceptions, We don't have any special treatment of game genres. If a user has a question about a video game, regardless of the genre, that user is welcome to ask.

Now, if you think a certain genre fits the Q&A format but is still underrepresented here, your best bet is to advertise the existence of this site on forums and other communities that deal with that genre; coming here and saying "let's ask about these" is unlikely to do much.

Additionally, if a new game comes out soon that you think would be popular and could potentially send a lot of traffic here, regardless of the genre, you're welcome to suggest a promotion event.

Finally, you might be interested in this related answer of mine on the topic of artificially trying to add interest in games.

    That said I just don't think these games lend themselves to q&a really

The popularity of a game is not necessarily proportionate to the number of questions you have on it. While I have never played the Slender games, it could be that they are straight-forward enough that the player never gets confused on where to go or what to do.

For example, Tetris is a popular game but is simple. Blocks drop, you get a row filled, they disappear. There is not much to ask about in such a game.

Also, with many games like Slender, story tends to be a fairly integral part of the story (Amnesia, Silent Hill). Asking a question here may lead to spoilers.
