Hey mate great video, any chance that you do a video about ‘The Forest’ ? It was one of my favourite games and even though the storyline was kinda cryptic it was quite satisfying and enjoyable so I would personally love to see a video on it by you :) keep up the great work my friend :)
Thanks for your great videos. Is there any chance you can review the plot and theories behind Clive Barker's Jericho???
Hey can you do a video on the dead space trilogy?
It's great that you gave their channel some attention
There’s a next gen update with new chapters and extended lore, I hope you cover this massive update 😎👌
Best part is when slender man said “it’s slendin’ time” and kidnapped a bunch of kids
Lmao!
You mean he slended a bunch of kids
I cried when slender man appeared out of nowhere and said "I have arrived"
Lol that caught me offguard
I'm laughing uncontrollably
Bro, you are pumping these videos out like a machine. I have a lot of respect for that. I know how much time it takes to create a video.
Haha to be fair, the videos will slow down again now to one per week. It’s because I had COVID and lots of time on my hands. But thank you!
@@GamingHarryYT , hope you will recover soon Harry 🙏🏻
@@GamingHarryYT I’m glad you are doing good 🙏🏼 love your videos
@@GamingHarryYT Don't join Illuminati
@@fendysusanto876 ???
I really miss the days when slender man was the focus of horror, before the controversy 😔 it’s such an amazing premise and monster. Thank you so much for keeping the memory alive!
what has the co grocery store shooting has to do with slenderman?
@@trapstrar controversy** I hate autocorrect so much 💀💀
What controversy? This world really is too sensitive
@@spyous7884 it was back in I believe 2013 when two girls hurt their classmate claiming slender man told them to
@@roytruitt9884 oh that
Ok, this was really good- To add to all of this, I don’t think CR went "insane" before he burned himself. He planned the burning ahead, he left a note for Kate that told her to bring gasoline and told her that he knows how to end this.
Slenderman in this case, works like a curse, and we can see how it works if we look at the writing at the walls: "You know about him- he knows about you". If you know about him, for example because your Grandmother told you stories about him, he‘s going to stalk you
"He wants them to warn you" and "You warn them - and doom them" further shows how this curse spreads.
Kate warns Lauren about the Slenderman through her drawings and notes, and ultimately dooms her too. CR realizes this too late, but he already found out (probably through Friedas letter he found in the homestead level) that the way of saving yourself (and others from getting 'infected') is to burn yourself.
Kate refuses to go through with that plan and escapes, while CR burns to death. It‘s possible that CR set the woods on fire too, but not sure about that one.
Kate running away from CR ultimately seals her fate as proxy.
So Slenderman works off the same rules as "The Bye-Bye Man"? If that's the case why do you have to burn yourself specifically? :/
@@cartooncritique6625 who on earth is the bye-bye man?
The burning could be like something curse-specific, similar to how people in the middle ages thought you could get rid of evil by fire (resulted in witch-burning)
@@reur3965 Long story short, "The Bye-Bye Man" is kind of a Slenderman/Boogie Man knockoff that was made into a mediocre movie back in 2017. The film used a similar premise for the monster where he'd haunted and drive you to kill yourself and others just from knowing his name.
It would make sense that the woods would catch on fire too. Not necessarily an intentional act by CR, but since he used gasoline it's not out of the question that it accidentally started an out-of-control forest fire.
So Slenderman is like an info-hazard that can only “harm” you if you have a vague awareness of his existence? So why did Charlie Mathewson get kidnapped? Was it because he was part of a family that did the ritual? I’m guessing it’s a proximity based “curse.” Interesting nonetheless
This brings 360 vibes back man. I remember me and my friends would get into a party and tell each other where to go because we were so scared we weren't going in the right directions
This game along with F.E.A.R, Alien Isolation, and Visage are the only horror games to strike fear into my heart consistently.
Damn haven’t heard of fear in a long time, what a classic
True, alien isolation killed me
Have you tried the Dead Space game series?
@@TrendK1ller yesss man I love those games 😂 the second one had me in shambles consistently
@@No-ck4rz I just bought the second one and replayed it, game is still amazing to this day to me atleast! Very unique gameplay
I was under the impression that Lauren was turned into a proxie and was simply knocked out by Kate.
Nah, under the game files, she’s listed as ‘Lauren_Dead’, or something like that.
@@GamingHarryYT To be fair, Proxies can be undead. There's even a specific listing for undead proxies called Revenant
I had an experience with this game that I never seen anyone else bring up. On my first playthrough of this game there was a moment once you get to the house and it was after dark I clicked on the missing person on the telephone pole directly in front of the house and was instantly killed. The game loads a checkpoint and it loads me into a void and I'm on fire with Slenderman looming over me. It was permanent stuck in this fail state or whatever it was. I had to exit out and start a new game. I've never heard of this happening to anyone else. I thought it was triggered by the poster but I've seen playthroughs where people definitely click on the poster and nothing like that happens. So it was this strange unique experience that only I've seen I guess. Has this happened to anybody else?
Yeah it is a secret easter egg level. You can look up slender the arrival secret level
Run
Well. Looks like ur cursed.
It's a secret level that can only be triggered by starting the level up three times, and clicking on the poster each time. The third time triggers it.
It's an easter egg I remember seeing this on Creepy Gaming.
This game was absolutely phenomenal. Very well made horror game that saw success after being expanded on, which rarely happens with other urban myth/creepypasta personalities
I remember watching Marble Hornets in college & being absolutely scared out of my mind. Great series
There is only one man who can take out Slender man for good, and that man is John Constantine.
now that is the crossover we need!
@@cosmok-1367 I'm amazed DC hasn't considered it. It might be due to the stabbing but I just want to see John just kick slendy's ass.
And that man is JOHN CENAAaaaAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Constantine, Dante, Hellboy, Alucard (both Hellsing & Castlevania versions), Spawn, Danny Phantom, Dr. Strange, Dr. Fate, Jake Long, Ghost Rider, AND the Ghostbusters...any of these guys would be great candidates.
@@Kaden10 I don't think DC has the rights to the Slenderman character.
I was always way too scared as a kid to finish this game. Good to know it was actually pretty interesting. I love this video series! Keep it up!
Me too
This game is so good once you fully playthrough it.
@@BrutusWasntTaken we got more coming this weekend! The mine level is sketch tho
I love it when people go back to Slender!
The Arrival is a great game to reminisce about the internet in the early 2010’s!
I’m glad the hype gave birth to a game that stood well with others of its time!
I was 13 when i first played this game and it still has a place in my heart as the first horror game i ever played through
I so much agree with the Backrooms part!
They butchered the Backroom and its effect and now EVERY similar looking liminal space room (best example the liminal space pool rooms) are now considered Backroom levels????
I honestly hate the fact that every liminal space is now considered a Backroom level or "it looks like the backroom" by the mainstream media
Am I the only one?
Also I dont need a backrooms entity or monster to find it scary?? Ever heard of Autophobia??
I definitely agree with you! I love the concept of the backrooms, but they did so much with it, it's not even scary anymore... Now it just feels like another Sonic.exe type of creepypasta
Although i do like the monsters part, but that's just because i'm a big fan of the "monster encyclopedia" type of trope
i disagree but i dont feel like explaining, hopefully someone else does
For me the issue isn’t that every liminal space is considered a “level” it’s that they miss the uncanny factor yeah sure it’s “liminal” but it doesn’t look uncanny enough to be considered for that backrooms stuff
Yeah the monsters ruined it for me, as well as knowing there were other survivors, in who knows what level. To me, the scariest part of the backrooms is not knowing what is there in the first place, whether the monster that my anxiety created was really real or not
Also the fact every "creepy youtuber" milked the hell out of it, making hundreds of videos about every inch of lore of the backrooms. Also the amount of reaction videos there are people watching the fan videos from that o e guy also ruined the atmosphere
This really could be adapted into a well done horror movie.
would be cool but movies made based on video games are almost always horrendous
Right
Hopefully better than the actual movie they made.
I don't know if you need it, but there is a fan one by SilverBlade Productions. It's pretty cool, despite filmed not-so proffesionally.
@@ayyewalkdaplankwhere can we watch it?
I only played the original 8 pages game, I had no idea this franchise had an actual plot, and a quite interesting one.
And now it's going to get another sequel.
@@BrutusWasntTakenThe arrival got remade too
That 2014 incident really showed why little kids shouldn’t be watching creepypaste’s because they take it way to serious and do crazy shit.
Well not necessarily but one of the girls were mentally I’ll so they couldn’t separate reality from fiction like other kids
@@Daddycoochie I know, but still, that was insane.
@@MaverickX578 I have to Denounce that, the girls were medically insane and Kids hear worst stuff from Folktales, the Bible and other things.
You dont see kids killing in the name of Khrone in the UK now do you?
Yes and no. One of those girls used it as an excuse. She had other mental problems and would have used any medium.
@@GldnClaw why can’t I see the other guys comments?
What a cool video. Really like it when people talk about the old Horror classics.
This game was so good also the story telling aspect. There is so much stories they could make with Slenderman
The sad thing is that at the point where it released, the reputation of slenderman games had been destroyed by bad games, which caused it to never take of.
Came across your channel while learning more about the Outlast series and now I can’t stop watching these story breakdowns. I even listen to them like audio books while I do my work. Great job my guy you deserve way more subscribers! :)
I love your videos man, been a fan for a while
I don't even play horror games, but I love all of your videos🤩
The game is over nine years old?! 😭 I didn’t realize it had been that long lmao
I also noted that all of the locations CR and Kate go to (hospital, mental asylums, CR telling Kate to go to the street) are all locations of the different maps made for Slender the 8 pages
My personal headcanon is that Slender Santorium or Hospice is Kate or CR hallucinating after encountering him in the woods. Or even Slender 7th Street could be Kate going to meet CR by the street like what CR mentioned in the message.
I love these videos so much and your voice is calming 😊 much love x
Nice video. You have quite the quality standard.
And you put this out on my birthday. Nice.
Great timing for me to find this video of yours! There's a countdown to what looks like a Slender The Arrival remake or sequel
Short and sweet lore video. Well done!
i remember when I sub and you had 20k subs. and here we are. amazing.
Keep putting out videos and I’ll keep watching them 😁
Happy to see people, talking about this game still
Keep up the good content, Haz. Love these videos
Been awhile since I watched, suddenly recommend as soon as it came out. Guess I'm going down this rabbit hole again
Thanks for the post this is my favorite version of Slenderman 😊
Keep making great content Harry idk when your channel will blow up but just be patient 💯
I've recently discovered your channel and I'm really liking your videos. Would you be willing to do a lore and order video on the game "Darkwood"? I would like someone such as yourself to go into depth of what the game is about.
I started playing this game on my Xbox so I wanted to know the lord behind it and it’s so good thanks for all your hard work man 😊
I enjoy these thank you.
Hey man! That’s the exact content I’ve been waiting to see on Meshed Media!!! Where have you been?! We need more of you 🫠🫠🫠
I’m loving this series, I’d recommend the half-life series, I think all the games are small enough for one video but the lore is pretty amazing.
You are a hell of genius game story teller! everytime i watch these series I get chills and enjoy the game like a whole new experience! great content sir! respect
Just as i was suddenly interested in this game again, perfect bloody timing.
Love theses videos
There is one thing that ends and shows kates fate, when you play chapter genesis people think its just a remake of the old game, but actually if you finish it a text pops out saying “I have plans for you kate” that means that after she escaped to the woods she collected the pages and then was captured by slender
The one thing that confused me a bit, was how present day Lauren could see the tape of the Homestead excursion that CR went on, when he dropped the camera? There's a note from CR with the tape so it implies it's from him, but he dropped the camera? Did he go back for it? Did Slender/Charlie follow him and have it taken to him, just mysteriously posted through his letterbox?
I really don't know 😅
Just saying I am very happy to see this game still alive, people are recently making videos on it
Maan.I really love your content. Keep it up bro
i really admire your channel Harry
Thank you Harry! You are the best
I’m loving the spooky scary game deep dives. I know I miss all of back story when I play. Keep doing what you’re doing. 💜💙💜
Great in depth video as always, really appreciate that you take the time to make these. Mortuary Assistant released recently, any chance you might be interested in doing a video on that game?
Yah currently playing through it, trying to get all the endings!
I loved this game my play through was a epic experience
Lore & Order, that's such a cool series title
Thanks for the video :D
You should do a Lore and Order episode on the game called "The Hex", it has alot of spicy details, plots and sleight of handm
Also the end is worth talking about.
Awesome video
I’m going to be honest this is the one horror game I cannot play by myself in the dark. This game is just so fucking terrifying to me.
You should try the update that is going to be released on October 18th
@@blackblastgaming1381 i plan on doing it for a vid this month first outlast 2 tho
Another game that im just terrified to try out
Very beautiful and very creepy
big like from me👍👍
Good You made a Story to a scary video game wich is over 10 years old, I feel it’s good since Slender the Arrival is over 10 years old, the story was hard to tell at the time it got released, and when it was out for some time in 2013.
I played this in VR on the oculus dev kit 1. It was terrifying!
I used to read a lot of creepy pastas and as soon as I realised I was reading a Slender one, I’d stop. Shit got so lame back in the day and I’m glad you made the backrooms comparison.
This was a good game and I wish they did more with the creepypasta mythos and universe
banger after banger
are you going to make a lore video for the Dead Space series? There is a remake coming up. Love your work by the way, keep up the good work! 👍
Fell asleep, woke up to this. Going to annoy my dog to check the house and bring me my courage to not hide under the bed.
I still find it absolutely *nutty* that that girl survived 12 stab wounds from 2 deranged assailants, then crawled herself out of the woods to a road to be rescued. what a fucking beast.
Cool
Video was great! I don’t enjoy games where you have no chance to survive 😢
I’ve fallen into the Gaming Harry rabbit hole. Have you thought of making a video on Everyone’s gone to the Rapture?
Interesting stuff
Remember slender being the popular game in highschool, everyone played it. Someone had it on a usb, and we all installed it and played it. Good times. Most scariest game we all played. 22 now and completely forgot about this game.
One of few good indie horror games right here
Slender man was the original photobomber
I think out of all horror games this one is the one I could never play because my sister made me terrified of the slender man mythos
OMG Harry brought up my comment about the back rooms!
Yes! Marble Hornets! I’ve tried talking. To people about this in recent years. But I feel like if people missed that time of RUclips, then they have no idea what I’m talking about.
yes finally
Ahhh yes this game slender arrival it got me jump scares a lot and the story was intense when I found out that the 2 missing character turn into slenderman minions Damm
Aahhh the nostalgia
In case it hasnt been mentioned: the creators of marble hornets actually worked on The Arrival iirc!
fun fact: there's a second ending where Lauren can oh so killed slenderman if you completed hard mode not dieing Lauren still dies tho
Aw hell yea!!!
Sony's "Slender Man" (2018) wouldn't have ever lived up to this game.
Oney Plays did a good job playing this.
need you to do a fully extensive explanation of the rusty lake series.
I bought this game on sale, worth it.
I find it interesting the modern version of slender man is actually the marble hornets’ Operator who was purposefully given a different name bc of his differences but then bc of the slender game and memes the Operator became the main version of slender man
What do you mean?
@@Cake2019_6 in victor surge’s lesser known original slender man post slender man was implied to surgically dissect his victims, remove their organs, place back their organs wrapped in plastic then hang them on to tree branches. He also posted a close up image of slender-man where he actually has a distorted face. And in general most things well known about slender-man were either established or expanded upon in marble hornets’ version of slender-man known as The Operator
@@grimace9670 Okay so as much as i know is that Marble Hornets only affects the Slender Verse (Therefore it wouldn't be listed in the Slenderman Mythos menu in Slender the 8 Pages) but doesn't really play inside it (Like the Operator being Marble Hornets Interpretation of Slenderman) also little fun fact which i personally like is that thing with the Plastic bags is shown in EverymanHYBRID which actually uses the Slenderman
Honestly, you make better story explained videos than Super horror bro.
I find it quite interesting that this malevolent and seemingly omnipresent demonic being decided to dress up very classily.
Should be Lore and Order - Special Victims Unit with what Slenderman does you know what I mean lol.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
great story great game
i find the way that slenderman haunted the generations of the matheson family because they had heard a story about him is just insane. its so much cooler than slenderman just being some weird edgelord that lives in a mansion with his family featured in that shitty creepypasta wiki. i find slenderman being a demonic-astro creature with one goal, to take you, is just so much cooler and makes wayyy more sense.
I would love to see one for At Dead of Night
4:05 On behalf of the OG backrooms community and Mr. Ferrante, I thank you
I had a few questions about the grave stones in the Homestead section. Who is Samantha and Patrick Woods? Are those the 2 missing people from the original SLENDER: THE EIGHT PAGES?
No Slender the Eight Pages is basically a test version for Slender the Arrival when Slender the Eight Pages got remade as a secret 9th Chapter for Slender the Arrival called "Genesis" it got actually a story that we play as Kate during Genesis because after we get all Eight Pages Slender says: "I have plans for you Kate"
If I'm not mistaken...The Arrival uses Marble Hornets' canon so calling him 'slenderman' is actually a misnomer
Since when does Slender the arrival use Marble Hornets canon?
@@Cake2019_6 My guy Parsec literally got them to write it
The good ol days when me and the bois used to get scared playing this
This is the first horror game that scared me so bad I never finished it. I finish every horror game I play
