A burning presence presses down on her, as if she isn't completely alone. Lauren goes to investigate, and finds three generators along the way. After picking up this paper, Lauren hears a long, drawn-out scream coming from the woods behind Kate's house. Inside, she sees walls textured entirely with drawings and scratchings of Kate's, hinting that the way to safety involves reaching a radio tower visible in the distance. In searching, Lauren finds a key which allows her to unlock Kate's bedroom upstairs. Lauren also finds many drawings and wall-scratchings hinting at the Slender Man. She investigates the house to find it very disheveled-furniture is strewn about, windows are open, etc. Once making it to Kate's home, Lauren finds that she is not there. On the way, Lauren passes another car (perhaps owned by CR, but this is never confirmed). This makes Slender: The Arrival take hours to complete even though the game can seem short at first glance.The game starts out when the main character's ( Lauren's) Volvo is parked at the head of Kate's driveway, stopped by a fallen tree. Escaping the lurking shadows is a very rewarding experience but can sometimes feel difficult enough to a point where it almost feels overpowering. This can be off putting for certain players, but hanging in there certainly feels rewarding. This makes completing certain levels extremely hard. You must find certain objects before the slender man and his allies creepily lurk behind you and leave you no chance of fighting back. Most of the levels are very straight forward. However, once you inevitably must replay a setting you quickly start feeling disengaged as the design starts feeling repetitive and the imminent danger of being caught less threatening. The tall shadow stalking you and always on your tail really makes progressing in the game feel like a daunting challenge. The first time you enter a new area and start exploring it, the sense of fear of being caught by the slender man gives a sense of urgency and will make the game feel very alive. The gameplay is where Slender: The Arrival both shines brightly and falls flat.
