It still gets me how big this game was back in the day when you realize how minimalistic it really was. Put the player in a big map, getting chased by a threat that can be anywhere without you knowing it, limited vision, and of course perfect ambience for suspense. Amnesia and this game really set the course for the indie horror game genre
The authors with Slender The Arrival really missed that point, point they made themselves in the previous chapter, in my opinion. In its minimalistic approach, Slender is scary because you know slender could be in front of you after every turn. You know he's probably already watching you, he's waiting for you. You might get audio clues or not, you might see him or not. What you know it's that the moment you see him you have to run. That's why it makes you so terrified to make every move and why it leaves you on edge the whole time. Slender TA is much more like your typical jumpscare horror game. You can stand in front of him for 30 seconds straights with the camera glitching. Eventually he'll disappear. He can spawn in front of you any moment. Yeah it's (jumpscare) scary, but you loose that feeling of constantly being watched. You get used to the jumpscare because you know when he's not in front of you he's just not in the map at all, probably. You know once he spawns he despawns just as easily. You know you can walk right past him, or run TOWARDS him and you'll have a good chance he'lp despawn before you reach him. He bocomes nothing more than a spooky jumpscare. In Slender the 8 pages... he truly is always one step ahead of you.
I did this by accident once. Got like the 5th page and I knew he had spawned behind me, so I walked backwards hoping to game the system. Just instakilled me once I ran into him.
@@zavinci2372 Listen at the breath of the character you're controlling, you can realise it's a female and so it is in Slender the arrival Genesis. In both games you are controlling Kate.
@@emirparatore3837 But Slender's using a red tie in his suit in Genesis, he also uses the same red tie in Arrival, here it's using the Black tie, it makes no sense that Slender changed ties between.
Every single time since I played this in 2012, I lose no matter what I do after 6 pages. I MUST be doing something wrong. Like a few seconds after getting the 6th page, he teleports RIGHT behind me and gets me as if I just collected the 8th page. Ive been trying to beat this for years...
From what I've heard, Slenderman gets faster the more you collect pages. To 'slow' him down, you need turn around and look at him for few secs before you turn around again and continue your mission.
Dairy69: its 3:00 am i cant slep and i hear steps Dairy70: my bro is so tall right now, im scared Dairy71: im scared send help Dairy72: big bro what are you do- Dairy73: hey its me, you're next
I may get stuff wrong, but here we go. Slenderman cannot teleport anywhere in front of you. You may see people look behind themselves and block Slenderman out with a tree, and this prevents him from moving pretty much. If you're not looking at him, he slowly gets closer and closer to you until he gets close enough to grab you and you instantly die. Looking at him is the only way to prevent him from getting closer, but you also are at risk of looking for too long and dying anyway.
texticks I never understood how that worked, because I’ll save my sprint for the very end and right as I get 6 pages, it’ll be no less than 10 seconds before he turns me around and instakills me..
I can’t believe creepy pasta fans are saying this dude is powerful face it creepy pasta fans he’s just a funny noodle in the woods man he doesn’t even have any tentacles
This type of ending isn't necessarily a bad writing. There are some of horror fictions that used this type of ending and were done well. But I agree that this game's ending kinda sucks.

Da!This a the Best Speedrun)
7 yr old me was scared shitless
18 year old me is still scared shitless
This game was awesome back in 2012. I remember it being a big deal
Never noticed how the player had a.. womanly breath. Now makes sense with Slender Genesis.
Yeah i think it was retconned like that for slender the arrival or it was the goal from the start
4:02 that shit got me lmao
So the rule of this game is get all pages and then get kill by slenderman
Pretty bad rule🧐
He did not kill but he knock you out and you waking up in day time
@@Matth3ron Well.. this happends before and at the same time as Arrival, he just turned you into a proxy.
Slenderman cheats on his own game.
There is no escape.
Plot twist: Slenderman is running away from him
lol
This was taking place during Slender: The Arrival because he forgot to arrive until they got all 8 pages
Hi Vivian. :)
Slenderman: wtf are you doing ignoring me bruh
Can we just take a moment to think about the fact that Eight Pages is actually Canon in Slender The Arrival? (Genesis Stage)
How
@@zavinci2372 Listen at the breath of the character you're controlling, you can realise it's a female and so it is in Slender the arrival Genesis. In both games you are controlling Kate.
Tecnically now it's non-canon since Genesis retcons this game.
@@SpiderDroider Blue Island just remastered this game into Genesis stage
@@emirparatore3837
But Slender's using a red tie in his suit in Genesis, he also uses the same red tie in Arrival, here it's using the Black tie, it makes no sense that Slender changed ties between.
Slenderman... without Slenderman.
GG.
he came at the end for epilogue
This is SO nostalgic
Did slenderman forget you were even there until the end?

Same here, I don't know how they beat it. after getting the 6th page I die in a matter of seconds.

Trap him behind a tree
This game was an obsession of mine to watch on RUclips 10 years ago and I never got scarred by any part of it as a 7 and 8 year old.
Im 15 and im creeped out
Like the tension you get making you want to look back I feel is intense after page 5, like Idky

04:05 Why Slender Stares At You?
because he fell in love
When u go play in the forest but mom calls u back for dinner
I don't get it, what controls the Slender AI? what's his behavior?
I may get stuff wrong, but here we go.
Slenderman cannot teleport anywhere in front of you. You may see people look behind themselves and block Slenderman out with a tree, and this prevents him from moving pretty much.

Good job craig
Takes me back
2018?
Here because pewds couldn't defeat the game xD
I guess the creator,of slender man didn’t know that someone beat the game so they never thought to making an ending if someone actually beat the game
It didn't really matter if you were going to collect all the eight pages. In the end, you were going to die anyway.
how did you not see slender the entire run (not including the ending)
