Contrary to popular belief and despite her similar appearance to members of ToTheArk, there are no Proxies in Marble Hornets, nor are there really any in EverymanHYBRID. They are widely utilized in many stories, post SomethingAwful.

(8 days late, I know, but I'm officially back from my trip and wanted to stamp this one.)
Thank you for spending your afternoon making mine a little easier!
The realism of being in a scary situation and just screaming "THIS PLACE SUCKS" was lovely
It's a pleasant surprise seeing you play this. I really do miss the Slender craze and the Slender Man character, it was a very cool concept back in the day and even still it is neat, but through a combination of overexposure, dwidnling popularity and real life incidents, I don't think Slender Man could ever truly return to their former glory. There's a lot you can do with this character, and I've had several ideas if I were to make my own movie adaptation (that movie was just disappointing, definitely the final straw)
Wdym real life incidents
@@3RR0RNULL the case of the 2 girls who stabbed their friend and almost killed her "for slenderman" so they could "become proxies"
Its funny how it silmutaniously saved indie horror games, made then one of the biggest genres in the planet and was copied so much that it almost killed the genre again until fnaf came along to revive the indie horror scene
plus it spawned marble hornets, great series
and then marble hornets spawned everymanHYBRID.
"Oh no... Slenderman changed the white balance!" That got me good, I actually laughed out loud.
The Librarian playing Slender The Arrival is not something I was expecting to see, but I'm here for it!
Slender: The Arrival is supposedly getting a remake/graphics update sometime soon, too, so this is the perfect time to play it!
Is that so?
For real?
@@MajorAce_usedtobeMechchadyep, blue isle studios made a teaser for it
Oh damn, that sounds nice.
Link?
Spoopy Slenderman Funfact:
At 4:12 in the credits, you can see that 3 men are named, Troy Wagner, Tim Sutton, and Joseph Delage.
All three of them are actually actors part of a popular series called “Marble Hornets” that was made in 2008/2009 which was based off Slenderman, and ended a few years ago!
"few years ago" is si funny bc its almost 10 years, but feels like it yesterday that i was watching the latest (and last) entry...
having only heard abt the arrival and knowing that the mh crew worked on along the studio, i never figured out how much they influenced on the story, but even after so long i can pick up those quirks
I assume the "ended a few years ago" part is talking about the sequel comics?
@@thewayfayer3268 wth.. thats so crazy, i remember it ending in like 2018
@@thewayfayer3268 it could be, i've never actually got into them, but even then, it's been some time since they ended also
The dev studio that made this, Blue Isle Studios, would use what they learned from this game and, three years later in 2016, make the far superior "Valley". Although it's not Slender and not exactly horror, you could classify it as diet horror. As you do have ways to defend yourself quite effectively. It relies largely on the story and atmosphere to be scary. There is... perhaps, maybe one jumpscare in the entire game and it's not a cheap one, either.
It's an extremely beautiful game with a decently good story and the movement is very fun. Imagine a... clunkier, prototype Titanfall, if you will, in regards to the movement.
You really should take a look at, Librarian. It's definitely right up your alley and I think you would love it.
Oh my gosh, it's so cool to see this comment! It feels like hardly anyone knows about Valley! I really enjoyed the game's music and environment!
Oh damn, I've never heard of this before. I should check that out myself.
@@flamingdog9207 Absolutely do it.
It's one of my favorite games.
I played Valley. I don't see it has horror. But yes its incredibly beautiful with amazing high speed running mechanics. And original music sound track that in itself was quality for a small indie dev studio.
"definitely superior" no 💀
Thank you so much for playing one of, if not, my favorite horror game of all time. I’ve been in a Slender craze ever since the “remaster” was teased last month and I can’t get enough of it. I also gotta thank you for figuring out that The Chaser in the mines is actually Kate, and not just assuming it to be Jeff The Killer like a lot of us did a decade ago, haha.
Stop kidding....this and fav. Game of all time. Its good but still just a slender man Game
@@Exel3nce its THEIR favourite. THEIR opinion
@@Noahnime i get that but its just a slander game in a pool of masterpieces out there
@@Exel3nce doesn't matter, they see it as a cut above the rest
@@Exel3nce And? Can't invalidate an opinion because "oh its just a slender game"
There are many different interpretations of the Slenderman "lore", depending on where you look. Victor Surge, the original creator, left details somewhat threadbare when it came to the original images he posted on the Something Awful forums; leaving things up to the viewer to imagine. The majority of interpretations were based on these few details in the early days, until the release and success of the _Marble Hornets_ series. Technically, while _Marble Hornets'_ antagonizing entity "The Operator" was based on Slenderman, it was not a direct copy as it dropped some details while introducing new ones. Many other series would follow with their own interpretations, such as EverymanHYBRID or DarkHarvest00. _Slender: The Eight Pages_ , and subsequently _Slender: The Arrival_ , take inspiration more from these series than they do the original version of the Slenderman mythos.
Generally, the most common understanding of Slenderman is thus:
* Slenderman is a supernatural or preternatural entity with the ability to appear or disappear at will with seemingly few restrictions, if any.
* Slenderman seemingly has the ability to control who can and cannot perceive his presence. Sometimes this is depicted as most adults being unaware of his existence as he stalks their children, other times it's people forgetting he's there after witnessing him (selective amnesia).
* Slenderman is occasionally depicted as being able to sprout tentacles or spidery legs from his back and control them at will.
* Slenderman has some sort of attachment to the woods, and will usually be found there.
* Slenderman is often, but not always, depicted as having some level of influence or control over his victims. This control sometimes manifests as "proxies", people who have fallen under his influence and attempt to assist Slenderman in carrying out his objectives. Other times, it's the ability to subtly influence children in order to draw them closer and leave them vulnerable.
* Slenderman will stalk his victims for days, weeks, months, or sometimes even years before acting upon them, with or without the victim noticing his presence (the latter few being far more common in latter tales).
* Slenderman appears to have an affect on the world around him. Electronic recording equipment are commonly show to malfunction in his presence, and people exposed to him sometimes report headaches, paranoia, insomnia, various forms of amnesia, false memories, occasionally hacking coughs and the spitting up of blood. This is sometimes implied or stated to be a form of "radiation" he emanates.
* What Slenderman actually is, or what his true motives are, are vague at best or a complete unknown at worse. It's usually implied that he wishes violence on people, but the form of this violence or purpose for it changes from source to source. It was more common to directly imply or even state that he kills people (mainly children) early on in the formation of his mythos, but that direction has changed over the years to be more complex and nuanced.
This reads like an SCP article.
@@thesilver7238 I like to describe things in a analytical and detailed fashion for the sake of clarity and thoroughness, especially when informing someone on a topic they may only have an incomplete surface-level understanding of. Combine that with the classic hallmarks of a creepypasta, and you more-or-less have the ingredients for a basic SCP article.
I think the most important question is whether you can shoot and kill slenderman
@@radscorpion8 Can Slenderman shoot & kill you?
@@the_real_Kurt_Yarishis he American or not? That kind of decides wether he has a gun
This game was so incredibly hyped up back in the day. I loved the Slender phase in the early teens.
As an explorer of caves and mines, I respect your concerns around them.
We do understand the possibility of instant , or worse, delayed death and suffering.
The feeling we get while exploring though , is worth it all !
Literal cave story fan
@ChronoQuote Cave story fan with cave stories. I've somehow never made that connection before ! Awesome !
holy crap what a throwback and what a joy to have you talking about Slenderman.
There's a hidden "game mode" or "level" that you can access by finding a specific "Missing Person" poster in the first area (around Kate's house), it's not essential but is an interesting addition that raise a few questions. I suggest looking up how to access it and maybe playing it for a short follow up?
slender man needs to come back. one of the most iconic horror characters in fiction, so good
One great thing about Slenderman is that he had no single entity who could decide what the lore was. He technically had a rights holder, but functionally, it was like how it was before modern copyright law. Everyone told their own, overlapping stories. Some were meant to share a universe, some just shared themes. Slenderman is less of something you can wikify, and more a tag cloud of possible powers and behaviors. If you want more lore to fill out what you saw in the game, several versions are available.
If you see someone that looks like Slender Man but is a bit bulkier, that's his cousin, Portly Gent. He had his own game - PORTLY - where you had to find eight pages around a municipal baths. The pages were all receipts for English mustard, carbolic soap and spermicidal jelly. Somehow, through every window in the building, you could see a parked Oxford Farina. And, if you took too long, Portly Gent would jumpscare you and offer you a gasper and a sardine sandwich.
Portly Gent sightings (mostly from teens messing about in the woods) suggest that his approach was heralded by radios beginning to play 'Pretty Polly Perkins of Paddington Green'. One teen (who was messing about in the woods) said that 'his hands just grew longer and longer... but somehow, he kept on smoking that gasper.' Others reported that, the morning after a Portly Gent visitation, all their snuffboxes were mysteriously emptied, and their heirloom tomatoes were unusually plump and juicy.
sorry the what jelly
I now cannot unsee Slendy as an HOA Karen haunting you because your lawn isn't mown short enough...
My favorite horror game of all time and YOU’RE playing it? My excitement is immeasurable.
The game in general changed so much since it released you can describe it as a glowup
In the original release the way you interacted with doors was a lot more jankier, you had to click on them and then drag the mouse to either open them or close them
The extra areas like the backyard of Kate's house which leads to the park didn't existed either, once you left her house Chapter 2 would start in the park already, same as the CR investigating the farm tape, that was later added on a future update.
And the graphics used to look a lot worse too since after all it's a 10 year old indie game, but after a couple of updates they made it look so beautiful
Loved it when it first came out, still love it to this day and I'm happy you got the chance of playing it, hope you come back to it since you missed quite a few things!!!
"You're just standing there... Menacingly.." 😂 perfect time for that line.
I love you librarian, your videos always keep me entertained during college
Same
Almost same
I want to return to the time when Slenderman went viral with the demo and how it all fell apart after the full thing came out. This game also gives off strong Outlast vibes, which is interesting considering that this came out a whole 6 months before Outlast.
What do you mean fell apart
I literally never comment but my god I'm so happy seeing you play Slender. It was my introduction to horror
At 10:30, when you said "he's just standing there" I said menacingly at the exact same time as you and i found that super funny for some reason
Holy shit.
This very well may be one of the most influential game genres of all time, I know how much it influenced me as a kid. Markiplier playing it will always hold the most fond memories online for me.
I absolutely hated this genre of horror it devolved the whole scene of horror into drawn out walking sims ment to bait RUclipsrs into playing it once and forgetting about it after
Didn't remember much of this game, unsurprisingly, since I had never watched a full playthrough. This was an extremely pleasant surprise, I was as impressed as you were. I expected and only remembered cheap horror but this was restrained and subtle when necessary, and surprisingly well-aged.
Same, I remember watching bits of markiplier's playthrough and some easter eggs but it all confused me as a kid
actually this game will be getting a remaster in about a month, im super hyped up for it and i hope you'll cover it on the channel!
Spoilers for anyone that hasn't watched all the way through:
For clarification, yes that was Kate in the hoodie at the end. The emaciated boy in the basement that chases CR is Charlie, and the body beside the fire with all the words around him is CR, who burnt himself and tried to get Kate to do the same. The voice saying "I can't do it" from the camera is her. There's more story in the secret level.
Slender game... a old golden days on RUclips memories flows into me.. I miss those times
30 minutes in and im reminded of an old gem. do you remember a little known indie game called The Path? its something that sounds right up your alley, mix of old fairy tales and metaphorical narrative. though i've heard it's a hard time running it on modern hardware
Play the "GENESIS" stage in the stage selection!
It's a remaster of slender the eight pages's original map, with extra lore!
12:45 And he is still traumatised from the game with THAT jumpscare. xD
Which one ahaha

@@TheLibrarianYT Exacting! Still my favourite reaction to a jump scare. It’s just so raw and genuine. Nearly had a heart attack myself when watching that for the first time.😆
Imma just say this is my favorite gmod RUclipsr ever in history and the best of youtubers
Hey m8 I just to say thanks for playing this and bringing back some spooky memories. There was this grace period for Slender Man where it had just left the Something Awful forums and the content for it was great. I think what made the horror of Slender Man so great in the beginning was that powerless feeling that the stories told, the same kind of powerlessness that UFO and Alien abduction stories have: There is this being that intends to do you harm, you know it's out there, but there's nothing you can do stop what may come. In particular I loved the whole "You noticed it, now it's noticed you." trope.
I'd also like to give a shoutout to the Morley Grove series; it's a pretty new Slender Man series but it captures that same apprehension and dread feeling I had all those years ago when I first discovered those Slender Man creepypastas.
So much nostalgia and memories I had completely forgotten seeing this game play out. I must have watched a let's play back in 2013 and had it slip my mind since then but each twist and turn kept feeling more familiar
I played this game a couple years ago and its still one of my fav slender man games.
1:03:04
Yeah, but remember how CR said he literally hadn't slept in days? If anything, each recording sounds so accurate it haunts me.
Garbled speech patterns from the chaser in the mine/kate as her personality is trying to be let go of this creatures control, or could even be the slenderman trying to lure you through speaking, but having no mouth himself, has no clue how to speak with one.
Also, yeah, play the secret level. You'll find out what happened to Charles Jr.
Its unfortunate that whenever I think about Slenderman anymore all that pops into my head is the stabbing incident. It happened only about 20 minutes from my childhood home and I remember people were paranoid about it for years. I even remember at the local movie theater people protesting the movie Anabelle because it traumatized the area so much.
"Got a big back gate. Wonder what that leads to?" Compliments...leads to a lot of compliments.
Found you through your Minecraft series and loved you since sir.
I goddamn love this game and your content, seeing them merge together is like, the best thing ever.
Slender the Arrival is such a beautifully unsung good game in my opinion. Thanks for playing it.
I miss the hype around creepypasta and legends too.
I actually known few legends from my own country because of the hype.
Lost Miner, The Man With Briefcase, Black Ambulance.
Oh I remember the Black ambulance legend.
Oh my does this bring back some real Nostalgia and memories i remember playing this long long ago and i will say i loved it and im sure you will too.
Such a pleasant surprise indeed! This game was one of the first horrors that I encountered and was probably the most scary one. Coming to your missing friend's house and seeing all this mess in her home and then finding out that these's some weird creature lurking around who is responsible for her disappearance. Just the atmosphere of walking around the house in a complete dark, knowing that it was abandoned in a hurry and knowing that the owner was stalked by something and now you are it's target - I still remember the feeling of total vulnerability. This small game really hits all the right buttons and I think it's perfect for your channel. Thank you for playing it!
Yay I've been waiting for this video I even played yesterday at Night the slender arrival game now I'm super happy about it Thanks Librarian :D
Just a quick insight: you did miss a teddy bear you could interact with to trigger a flashback to the Mathesons lying against a tree before you went into the cave to the tv where you could play the tapes.
I remember as a kid back then me and my friends would always go into the woods looking for slenderman for fun. It is great seeing this game be revisited.
This brings me back, This game was a masterpiece when it came out and im really glad you've played it!
Dang, you've been putting out a bunch of great videos lately! Glad you decided to play this one. Brings back memories of watching Marble Hornets and EverymanHYBRID.
More importantly, it also brings back memories of ABOP and 11 Drunk Guys Play, for those who remember that beautiful chaos (Slender! Touch my bum! Everyone! Have a little fun!).
Anyway, I should be back home in a few days once my trip is done. When I do I'll probably make timestamps for this and Growing My Grandpa!
Man I wish this hadn't come and gone while I was weak to horror...
I'm still scared easily, I just recover in five minutes instead of five weeks.
So, Slenderman Lore is often more tied to the individual project than the entity himself, but generally it’ll go something like this: an early life event will involve seeing/interacting with/being traumatized by either Slendy or one of his Proxies (I’ll explain that soon) and then during young adulthood they will start seeing him and being haunted by him.
Whether or not Slendy is antagonistic or just a force in the world changes, but usually if he’s around two things happen: electronics freak out (either not working entirely or getting glitches, especially on playback of video), and people start to be effected. Being effected can range from more hallucinations to showing signs of physical illness (such as the tell-tale cough in Marble Hornets). People effected by Slendy then either slowly die, or become proxies.
Again, depending on Slendy’s role in the series, proxies can either be actively controlled pawns of Slenderman, or they might just be messed up and more hostile versions of who they normally are. Proxies either try to expose more people to Slendy, try to kill those already exposed/infected, or just do rampant killings in the area, becoming spin-off entities of sorts.
Something I forgot to add: locations
Often in any given Slendy related project, there will be locations (a park, an old building, just some plot of land) that are intrinsically tied to Slendy or the other entities. People who are there will be more heavily affected, and often people who are already affected/infected will be drawn to the place. Can sometimes be the location of the initial encounter, sometimes is a place the characters are drawn to for the first time.
I played Slender the Arrival when it first came out in 2013 as a kid. I didn't remember CR's tape and the part after CR's corpse (maybe I have quit out of pure panic lol) but remembering this game together with your on point commentary was such a delight and this game is indeed very unique and interesting.
This feels weird to say but this makes me nostalgic
Oh yes and entire episode where somebody gets scared by somebody who owes me money
I remember playing this a long way back, and never got past the first house because I was too scared, pretty sure i wouldn't get past it even today
"Okay so the voice actor here, sounds like a 16 year old that doesn't want to wake anybody up recording into his headset mic at 3AM"

You sweet summer child...
This video activated neural pathways that my brain forgot it had.
“He’s just standing there…..*MENACINGLY!*”
Ah slender the arrival a good ol classic beating the game you unlock the old classic map to play on then the incident slender and the creepypasta characters died off now they are coming back
Side bar: firewatch is my most favorite game of all time.
Slender The Arrival is so truly underrated for me. I'm so glad to see you play it!!
Whoa, i didnt remember that game to be that good! Thank you for playing this, that really was a good time!
Still a fan of your content ever since I saw the cement mixer sim!
This is one of my favorite video games and creepypasta!
The devs at Blue Isle Studious released a new trailer for Slender the Arrival a few weeks back. The news is coming out out tomorrow. Looks like they are doing a remastered version? Maybe new levels. But it's exciting news for sure.
It'd would be awesome to see you play among the sleep .. you're in the pov of a baby in a troubled household it'd be cool to hear what you'd have to say about it. You're like high key my favorite RUclipsr right now ❤
Your commentary is really good and wity. And you really put things together EXTREMELY fast. This is the first time I've seen a let's player absorb the information as is.
Isn't "zorbing" that thing you do with that "magic" partially-translucent sphere where you dance it over your arms, hands, and fingers?
I tried to search for this and the thumbnails are scarier than Slenderman.
Who else up zorbing they orb rn?
I remember being so terrified of this game that I couldn’t even watch let’s play of it
Let’s go new librarian vid
I've played through half of the game and it became being stuck at that part where we get back to house and have to close every open door/window. It was sad at the end but overall experience was as scary as Amnesia games to me, so VERY SCARY indeed. I love your channel and your commentary so I'm glad that I can get back to this game after 1 year and see the end of this story. Thank you
I haven’t seen anyone play slender games in a while…
Love Slenderman and love you!! Was so excited to get this notification from you^^
I loved watching Markiplier play this back in 2013.
The Librarian should play Knock Knock.
thank you for your videos librarian, they're amazing
This might seem a bit weird but I think you have such a soothing voice
Really enjoyed this one, thank you for the upload!
"You're just standing there... menacingly"
WEEWOO WEEWOO
the second intro in the middle of the video was super funny 😂
“And that was Slender: The 8 Pages.”
Amazing slip up.
I remember playing this on the Xbox 360 and immediately quitting after the first jumpscare, good times
YES REPLAY INFRA ON THE CHANNEL!!!
Oh man, the nostalgia is coming back. Thank you for this video.
Should do the secret level too, especially since imo it's the creepiest level
i just watched the entire video, what a rollercoaster
Whoa! A Slender: The Arrival video. I heard they remade the game two months after this video's release- Overhauled the graphics and gave it a new chapter.
I hope the remaster there making is gonna be amazing
Anyone else been feeling nostalgic lately?
Yep
Yeah, i recently started playing the original 90's Resident evil games
Re1, Re2, and Re3 Nemesis
I finished re1 and 2
They are janky af, but i still love them, especially Re3 Nemesis
I miss the good old days when the internet was an actual fun place...
@@Norelphythe Internet was never fun
Since the remake of arrival is coming, i thought this was to warm up to the remake.
At 58:03 you walked a teddy bear laying against a tree, clicking on it gives backstory
It was genuinely really cool seeing someone play this for the first time ten years after it was released, especially as someone that watched all the Big 2013 names play it back in the day
I'm kinda surprised that it holds up pretty well, both visually and (seemingly) the gameplay, but I'm glad it does.
Slenderman!? Oh my, how Nostalgic!
Bro I remember playing this when I was still in school, right after I moved with family. Having nothing but my laptop and an inflatable mattress when we moved, I remember playing this late at night and getting scared by random wooden floor noises at the end of the hallway knowing full well my family was asleep in the next room. I really loved slender man games, haunted investigations, scp-087-B and scp containment breach.
Hey! I've never seen your channel before, but I love Slender the Arrival, so I was recommended your video. If you are at all still interested in Slender, make sure you check out the update this game is getting this October. It's getting remade in the Unreal Engine 5 and will include NEW content! Along with that, Blue Isles (creator of this game) will be releasing another game loosly connected to Slender called S: The Lost Chapters.
30:43 My favorite part of the playthrough is when The Librarian picked up a note saying "IT'S ZORBIN' TIME" and Slenderman started zorbing all around the protag.
(I'm sorry, I know this meme is usually overused in YT comments, but Zorbing and Morbing? It's too perfect, I had to.)
If I remember correctly there was a vr port of this, would be cool to see the Liberian replay it at some point with the port if it still works
i literally yesteday was talking with my friends that i want to buy this game again and recomplete, such a nice surprise! thank you!
dont know if youve been told. but there is a hidden secret to this. if you collect the missing poster in the beginning of the game and reatart and repeat 5 times you unlock it
