![]() The game offers no attempt to hold your hand by providing you with a map, radar, or hint option.

Slender The Arrival is a dark, brooding game with very little in the way of light relief. That is apart from leaving a breadcrumb trail of seemingly random scribblings implying that the shadowy figure known only as Slender Man is behind her disappearance. It seems Kate has vanished without a trace. This outing for the franchise casts you in the role of Lauren who has travelled to the countryside to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her friend Kate. And now Slender The Arrival has, well, arrived on the Xbox One and Playstation 4.ĭeveloped by a team comprising Blue Isle Studios, Slender Man’s creator, Eric “Victor Surge” Knudsen, and the team behind the Marble Hornets YouTube series about Slender Man, Slender The Arrival is a sequel to Parsec Productions’ Slender: The Eight Pages. Originally released on the PC and then onto the PS3 and Xbox 360, it was only a matter of time before Slender Man was ported to next gen consoles. And then came Slender: The Eight Pages.Īrguably one of the best horror-survival games of the past ten years Slender Man gave gamers something truly chilling to sink their teeth into. Attempts to reinvigorate the genre have met with muted enthusiasm from gamers and developers have floundered in their bid to create something new and genuinely engaging. It is possible to run away for a short distance, and wait until he disappears to continue down the path you were heading.Ever since the glory days of the original Resident Evil and Silent Hill on the PS2, the horror genre has had a decidedly lacklustre history. Ducking around corners is a good method for putting distance between yourself and him. One should also conserve their stamina not for running between objectives, but for escaping Slendermans range of influence as quickly as possible. To avoid such a fate, it is best to avoid gazing at Slenderman whenever possible, either by strafing, turning around or backpedaling. Increased exposure to Slenderman runs the risk of Slenderman appearing directly in front of the player, causing the character to uncontrollably gaze into his blank face, before the game cuts to black. Slenderman may also begin to produce tentacles from his back as the player watches. Witnessing Slenderman, or being in his presence will produce distinct audio and visual cues in the form of distortions, static, screeching, and other disturbing sounds or colors. Slenderman will also show up in the following parts more and more frequently, though only outside the 'safe zones' where the player explores, finds notes, and gets to the next objective. Slenderman may first appear in the Prologue, but usually only once or twice, and only outside the house once the player has entered. By the end of the game, it is likely that the main character meets her end at the hands of Slenderman, or by The Proxy. ![]() When Lauren(the Player) arrives at Kate's house, she unknowingly enters the realm of Slenderman, who begins to follow and torment her more and more aggressively. It is not known for sure if Slenderman was able to abduct Kate after tormenting her, though it is certain that The Proxy found in part 3 was working on Slenderman's behalf CR would eventually come to believe that 'letting him in' they had brought Slenderman into his existence of driving the two insane, and that the only remedy would be to seek refuge in the Radio Tower, and eventually to kill themselves. Kate would eventually being scrawling messages, warning of the powers of Slenderman, and leave 8 pages in the park where he was encountered. ![]() Depending on the interpretations of the myth, the creature may cause memory loss, insomnia, paranoia, coughing fits (nicknamed “slendersickness”), photograph/video distortions and can teleport at will.Īccording to the letters sent to Kate from her friend CR, they both encountered Slenderman in the woods one night, setting off a traumatic chain of events that would eventually lead them both back into the woods in search of the creature that caused them so much terror. According to the legend, he can stretch or shorten his arms at will and has tentacle-like appendages protruding from his back.
