Game Play
The most interesting mechanic is the Slender games is that the player can not fight the antagonist. The Slender Man is invincible, immortal and for that reason, extremely terrifying. The player, armed only with a flashlight, can only run from this creature when it gets close. Any close contact will cause the screen to shudder, distort and prolonged exposure causes death. While the Slender man hunts, the player is tasked with the same kinds of tasks; find a set of objects in a creepy landscape. The task is pretty repetitive and although the skill set of the Slender Man evolves so players are forced to change their tactics, there isn't much variety in how you solve the puzzles. Scare tactics are high on the games list of priorities and you'll find yourself playing to be spooked instead of playing for the puzzles.
Presentation
Slender: the Arrival is all about presentation. From the soundtrack of creepy background noises and excellent music to the way the Slender Man seems to stalk the player from near and far and the abandoned areas each level takes place. The game is short, but very intense and guaranteed to get your heart rate up. The story is a little cookie cutter, there's a missing child and a history of terror as the curse of the Slender Man is revealed to be driving people into violent madness. Abandoned buildings, etc. are all staples of the horror genre.
Pros
