Slender: The Arrival is a remake of the immensely popular ''VideoGame/{{Slender}}''. [[FromBadToWorse The game is even more bleak and horrifying than the original.]] The game begins with the SilentProtagonist Lauren, visiting her friend Kate after receiving a collection of increasingly disturbing letters. But when she makes it to Kate's house, she finds nothing but scattered furniture. She finds a key to unlock Kate's room, only to discover that the room is [[RoomFullOfCrazy completely covered with drawings of Slender Man and a broken window.]] Picking up a page will cause a long-drawn out scream from the woods, prompting Lauren to grab the flashlight and video camera and search for Kate. [[FromBadToWorse The chase is now on.]]

* ApocalypticLog: Potentially ''the entire game'', if we consider the game to be a recording on the camera that the PlayerCharacter is carrying. All the game is shown from the camera's point of view, rather than the PlayerCharacter's.
* DiegeticInterface: The HeadsUpDisplay is actually the screen for a digital camera that the player is carrying, which they visibly hold in front of them judging by their shadow. This also justifies the static that appears when Slenderman gets close (which would not affect the naked eye.)

* ScenicTourLevel: The opening to ''The Arrival'' has the PlayerCharacter, well, '''arrive''' at Kate's property. Thanks to a tree fallen into the road, the player gets out of their car and must walk to Kate's house on foot, while the opening credits appear. It is late afternoon on an autumn forest trail, and is [[SceneryPorn actually kind of pleasant]]. However, as the player nears the house, the sun goes down quickly, almost unnaturally so, setting an creepy tone by the time they reach the [[OminouslyOpenDoor Ominously Open Front Door]]...
