While you’re running around screaming or crying from the sheer terror of the scares you encounter, you may notice how well done the environments are, in fact the visuals in Slender: The Arrival does a fantastic job of creating an atmosphere and a world that’s damn near believable, unbelievable? Whatever, it’s damn scary is what it is. With the lack of any defense, the only strategy is to run helplessly into the darkness. As with the first, you’re unarmed, creating the same tension as before where if you mess up, your fate will be sealed. As par for the course, you can bet that you’re going to have that creepy feeling just right over your shoulder throughout the game. The other chapters in the game typically consist of similar tasks such as turning on generators or just making your way around an area. There is a throwback to the original game, where one area takes place in a dark forest that requires the retrieval of eight pages while avoiding the faceless one. The game is played like the first, in first person view with your trusty flashlight and a new camcorder. In Slender: The Arrival, the story’s revolves around you the player searching for a missing friend. This time out, the game is developed by Blue Isle Studios and distributed by Parsec, Slender: The Arrival is an all around more ambitious game than the title if precedes, but does all the new fancy visuals and bigger budget equal an scare experience that exceeds the first? It was only a matter of time before an actual sequel was made though and here we are. The game caught on like wildfire and came the inevitable clones on nearly every platform. Stare at him long enough or if he gets too close and it is game over. The more pages you aquired, the more likely the sharp dressed faceless Slender Man would show. When it was released, it was a free PC game created by Indie developer Parsec Productions, the premise was simple, find eight notes hidden around a large forest in pitch black with nothing but a flashlight. First came the story in 2009 by a member of the Something Awful forums, then eventually came the videogame adaptation with “Slender: The Eight Pages”. I can see why people hate this game, but i for one enjoy it even if there are many better horror games.The Slender Man tale is fairly well known at this point with its explosion of fans on the Internet. Its slightly expanded on as it has a little bit more of a story and makes the game a little more personal and the graphics have been updated. This game was a mod that got enough of a fallowing that they decided to make a full release. A great comparison is Surgeon Simulator 2013. But although i do like it, its nothing exceptional. I like waiting for something to get me, and the idea of bieng hunted by something that cant be killed is a great idea for a horror game. But the one thing that will either make or break this game for you is if you can forgive the fact that 90% of the scares in this game are jump scares. I enjoyed it very much as the atmosphere sets up a very scary experience. But the one thing that will A great expansion on the original game.
