And that's where lies it's beauty (?) lies: in its simplicity. The Eight Pages is pure concept and terror. If you want a story, or more variety, more 'enemies', locations, gameplay mechanics, go play it's sequel, 'The Arrival', which really manages to keep the same feel, even adding more elements to the formula.ĭon't look at this game for what it could have been, for what it doesn't have. You'll recommend it to your friends or whatsoever, but that's it. Parents need to know that Slender: The Arrival is a very scary horror game in which the player takes on the role of a woman investigating what happened to her friend in a rural wilderness. It's a once-in-a-life-time-experience, and I say that because, after you collect that goddamn 8th page, you probably won't play the game again. Even though the games uses cheap scares, the sense of being alone, defenseless is amazing. This kind of psychologic terror is incredibly effective. Slender: The Eight Pages made me feel like the first time I played Silent Hill. Neverminding the fact that SH is a far more complex game, it has something in common with Slender: it gets under your skin. When I think of this game, Silent Hill comes to my mind. So why all the fuss? Because it reminded players from all around the world how survival horror changed the videogame world.
I know you've read all those "it isn't scary" reviews, but, believe me, experience it yourself first.
A ground-testing for the sequel, 'The Arrival'. First of all, let's make something clear: this is not a full-fledged game.
