    Slender Man and his several proxies are cold and uncaring. They have no clear motive other than your defilement, and they are omnipotent.

    I am a huge fan of psychological thrillers. But for what this game has in its psychological scare tactics, it totally lacks in the things that make a game one that you’d want to come back to and play again and again. So as the title implies, this game truly is thick on scares but slender on everything else.

    It's way too unfair, frustrating and repetitive to be truly scary, though the excellent sound design tries desperately to make up for it.

    Slender to me always demonstrates why it’s so scary to feel like someone or something is watching you. I think Slenderman The Arrival succeeds in doing that. At the same time I think the gameplay and story could be more interesting.

    Slender: The Arrival exudes excellent atmosphere and genuine dread, but recycled and repetitive gameplay deeply hampers a potentially enjoyable horror experience.

    Small in both scope and budget, Slender: The Arrival is little more than a rest stop on the way to something bigger and better.

    Slender: The Arrival is more frustrating than scary. The atmospheric locations are wasted in this boring survival-horror game where players do little more than search around for numbered items. The game goes a long way to flesh out the story and mythology, but it never makes a convincing argument for why Slender deserves to be a franchise.

    It can be slow at times, but otherwise a great horror experience. It also has a few bugs, but it's possibly the best Slender game out there.

One thing thisIf you want to get creeped out -- this game does it well. It knows exactly what it is, and it's an ACTUALLY scary Slender game. One thing this game isn't very good at -- is being a game. You very often feel cheated by the game's broken mechanics (such as the proxy), and the story itself isn't at all deep or compelling at all. In order to truly capture the entire experience, you would need to collect all the collectibles at the beginning of every level before running through, but that's it. There really doesn't feel enough in this game to make you stay. This is not Outlast, this is Slender which wants to be Outlast.… Expand

    Disappointing gameplay with only one level that scared me. It has a lot of potential but needs a lot of polishing.
