Slender: The Arrival

You play Lauren, who arrives at her friend Kate’s home and finds her missing. The search leads through forests, empty houses, tunnels, and other unsettling locations as you piece together what happened. Explore dark areas, collect scattered pages and clues, and complete tasks such as restoring generators or securing a house. Slender Man and other pursuers threaten you, so you must keep moving and use light to navigate and escape. The campaign unfolds across chapters with different settings and objectives. Notes, recordings, and environmental details gradually build the story, while the 10th Anniversary Update adds a chapter centered on Charlie’s father and offers updated visuals.

Search for a missing friend across dark forests and abandoned sites, completing objectives while evading Slender Man.
