To their credit, Parsec and Blue Isle did travel down some interesting routes in expanding the original game. But after the initial fear factor-and with the extensive number of re-tries it takes to complete some of the levels-you’ll likely find yourself more aggravated than terrified. I won’t say the game isn’t scary there were certainly times when I wanted to jump in my bed and pull the covers over my eyes. The subsequent two levels present similar challenges (turning on six generators in a mine and closing as many doors and windows in a house as possible, respectively), and while these are a little more straightforward than traversing the pitch-black woods, their inclusion right after a similar, more maddening challenge adds to the tiresome experience. In many ways, the game feels less like an exercise in trial-and-error and more like a gauge of your general luck. This feeling will probably persist for a while, but unless you’re incredibly patient, you’ll soon find frustration with the total randomization of the pages’ locations and Slender Man’s occasionally unfair behavior (he will, at times, pop up right in front of you, making it impossible to escape). For example, when playing the game’s second level, “The Eight Pages”-based on the entirety of the original game-you’ll likely be terrified as you sprint around the woods trying to collect eight notes and evade the deadly gaze and embrace of Slender Man. One of the biggest problems with Slender: The Arrival is that the terror wears off, making way for frustration. As in the past, Parsec has also taken great advantage of the game’s dark nature to enhance the fear inherent to the experience of walking in the woods at night.Īt least for a little while, that is. Equally impressive is the game’s sound design, which includes phantom footsteps, eerie whispering, and some foreboding, downright-terrifying motifs. We’re not talking state-of-the-art graphics technology here, but if your PC or Mac can run it at its highest settings, you’ll likely be surprised with how pretty the landscapes look, especially during the few brief periods of daylight the game offers. In contrast to its predecessor, Slender: The Arrival is a pretty game. This can be accredited to the fact that the major storytelling moments are found outside of the main action of the game, which pushes them apart from one another temporally. ![]() The story is nicely tied together, which is commendable as most everything is done through letters and signage, but it’s not altogether engaging. The quest for your childhood friend takes you through a few different locations, most of which require you to complete a prescribed number of tasks while avoiding Slender Man. Your mission is to find Kate, who, as you learn through in-game letters, has been haunted by an entity you discover to be Slender Man. In the new game, you’re cast as Lauren, traveling to an isolated house in the forest. The updated graphics and expanded plot, however, don’t serve to replicate the game’s original appeal, as sporadic storytelling and general lack of fun-factor bring Slender: The Arrival down. Now, in conjunction with Blue Isle Studios, Parsec has expanded the original adventure into a polished, five-level game. The only reprieve was the cold that those parasites cowered from, smothering the fire like blowing out a candle, but still, an ember remained.When Parsec Productions burst onto the scene with a little indie title called Slender (or Slender: The Eight Pages), the studio received a great deal of acclaim for its small-scale ingenuity and all-around creepiness.
