One such Urban Legend - one that is fully acknowledged to be a creation, not a tale with any basis in real life events - is that of the Slender Man.įor such a simple game, Slender: The Eight Pages sure does work well. True, it is tempered by modernity's current wave of cynicism, but even against the tide of internet skepticism, we have people dreaming up creatures and stories and myths. Dragons, ogres, trolls, fairies.and perhaps the most dazzling thing of all is that it's still growing. It was propelled forward by a simple premise: aren't the strange and wonderful things we dream up COOL? Folklore is a goldmine of imagination. This show was imaginative, colourful, dark and brooding at times, bright and cheery at others. Once you have found all 8 pages, there will be a lul until the Slenderman appears behind you, causing Lauren to sprint uncontrollably - in different locations between bouts of static, before finally cutting to black, thus ending the level.Does anyone else remember the show The Storyteller? That amazing, short-lived TV show in the 80's from Jim Henson?Įssentially, the show was an anthology of classic folklore and fairy tales, hosted by the eponymous Storyteller (played by John Hurt and later Michael Gambon) and his ever-present dog companion, voiced and operated by Brian Henson. If Slenderman should appear, try to double back for a bit, and continue on once he has moved out of your way. Once you have completed a full circle, begin again, taking the inner paths that connect to the outer paths. The 10 locations are as followsĪ good method is to find an area you can indentify with (the water's edge or the tall grass) and follow the trails in a clockwise or counter clockwise manner. The two largest landmarks - The Visitor Center and the Storage Yard, will often be located on either side of the Quarry. There are 10 landmarks - and most of them can appear in any region of the map. Always remember where landmarks are in relation to each other, and remember which landmarks you have visited, and if they had one of the 8 pages. The only remedy is to try to keep a level head, and seldom divert from the trails. The middle always contains the rocky quarry with 3 exits.īecause Slender: The Arrival relies heavily on scare tactics, the area becomes increasingly difficult to navigate with the constant threat of running into Slenderman, and rushing headlong into the woods to escape him. The left side of the map contains the waters edge, while the right side has the tall grass. The best chance a player can have to navigate this area and make it out with the 8 pages, is remain calm, and visualize a map as best as possible. The most important thing to note in this area is that while the park layout appears the same, the starting locations and landmarks - and which locations have one of the eight pages are completey random.īecause of the random factor, a traditional walkthrough is useless. Therefore it is best to save your sprint for evading Slenderman, and also getting in and out of areas like the Visitor Center before Slenderman can trap you inside. After awhile of continue sprinting, you will only be able to walk, and these effects may be magnified by Slenderman's presence. It may be tempting to use the sprint button to get from one page to the next in rapid succession - but in fact your stamina has an invisible meter that will falter over time. Moments after - all will go black - and the game will end. Simply gazing into the faceless being will cause the audio and video distortions to become more and more severe, and prolonged exposure will alse become apparent as tentacles begin to emerge from Slenderman, writhing in the direciton of the player. Slenderman can appear anywhere, able to instantly teleport to any location near the player. And of course, there is the sighting of Slenderman himself.Įlongated, imposing, menacing, towering, and silent. Signs that Slenderman is near include audio distortions, video anomalies, loud unexplainable noises, heavy breathing or whimpering from the character, and slight musical cues. It is possible you will 'sense' him long before you see him. While searching for the pages, the entity known as Slenderman will begin to make his appearance. These pages will be stuck to 8 of 10 distinct landmarks. Continue in to the park to find 8 pages left by Kate. Nearby will be a small shack, investigate the front and sides of the building for Collectibles #5 - A sign that shows 3 canoes available for rent, #6 - A pamphlet about the park, and #7 - A list of rules of the park. You will begin this part at a random location slightly outside the park.
