Slender: The Arrival is the official re-imagining and expansion of the original game created by Mark Hadley, teamed up with the writers behind the Marble Hornets series and the development team at Blue Isle Studios.

Back in 2012, Mark Hadley (AgentParsec) created a game that captivated gamers around the world. Slender: The Eight Pages was a short, experimental first-person game that helped breathe new life into the horror genre through its use of unadulterated tension and fear. Slender: The Arrival is the official videogame adaption of Slender Man, developed in collaboration with Eric “Victor Surge” Knudson, creator of the paranormal phenomenon that has been terrifying the curious-minded around the world since its inception, with Mark Hadley and Blue Isle Studios. This makes Slender: The Arrival take hours to complete even though the game can seem short at first glance.You’re on your own. Escaping the lurking shadows is a very rewarding experience but can sometimes feel difficult enough to a point where it almost feels overpowering. This can be off putting for certain players, but hanging in there certainly feels rewarding. This makes completing certain levels extremely hard. You must find certain objects before the slender man and his allies creepily lurk behind you and leave you no chance of fighting back. Most of the levels are very straight forward. However, once you inevitably must replay a setting you quickly start feeling disengaged as the design starts feeling repetitive and the imminent danger of being caught less threatening. The tall shadow stalking you and always on your tail really makes progressing in the game feel like a daunting challenge. The first time you enter a new area and start exploring it, the sense of fear of being caught by the slender man gives a sense of urgency and will make the game feel very alive. The gameplay is where Slender: The Arrival both shines brightly and falls flat.
