- My interpretation of the full story of Slender: The Arrival. I can't guarantee that this is 100% correct, but it's as close as I can get.
I HIGHLY recommend that you play this game, it is a great experience.
All music is from the soundtrack of Slender: The Arrival. I do not own any of the music. - เกม
This is what Slender-Man should be, he isn’t a father figure who treats his proxies nicely and lives in a place of sanctuary, he is pure evil, he kills children and manipulates his proxies for his dirty work, and some say he uses his proxies for a plan to cleanse the earth
I feel Slenderman is less deliberately evil and more alien to us. What kind of instructions it might give to its proxies will get interpreted differently. Knowing its power it could easily cause immense destruction, but it does not do that. Maybe it has become weaker by becoming more well known as its influence is spread out further and it has also become target of ridicule. And of course being creature influenced by belief it has gotten so many contradictory goals that it simply cannot do anything to anyone.

Slenderman dosent kill children
He just made them dissappear
Ljubica Kremenjas same thing
@@ljubicakremenjas2808 he kills them and makes them his slave

That's true
This game is great mainly because the actor, Tim Sutton from the Marble Hornets worked on this game. Love your explanation!
Actually, Troy and Joseph also worked on it too
thats cool
That’s pretty cool, never knew that
This game honestly scared the shit out of me but it was very confusing so I had to watch this, I've loved slender lore for a while including marble hornets and this game
did you know kate was the first person in 8 pages I freaked out when I figured that out
@@Carlos-xp5yf I did too, this story is so crazy
@@thewillsterpro3051 also when playing the xbox360 version you can see slenderman on a hill I got scared
@@Carlos-xp5yf I played it with my cousin and we saw slender and freaked out
Its a shame some of my shitposts have more views that this absolutely amazing explanation of the story, still nags me that it ends on that note but that's exactly the type of ending for this type of story
Slender man is too powerful an entity to be destroyed himself, the only ending you can possibly have that can be even remotely good is one that can’t be good for those involved
There is no happy ending, so long as Slenderman is involved
I have so many good memories gathering all my friends meeting up at my one friends house and at night we would play Slender The Arrival together, with the Switch hooked up to my friends TV... he lived in a house in the woods, it was a big house with a lot of the walls made of glass, so you could see outside. We never really understood the full story, so thank you.
So glad to bring back those memories for you!
your mate lived in a glass house? He better not be going and throwing stones then
@@juiceoverflow Hahahah, No, but there was a section of the house where it was pretty much one big window for a wall
My interpretation of the story is that it's about breaking an endless cycle.
At the beginning of the timeline, Slenderman was nothing more than an old legend. But Frieda Matheson decided to find out more about it, and cursed her family in the process. Slenderman started to haunt the Matheson family, kidnapping some of the children. So Frieda decided to end it all with a ritual, burning herself and most of her family in a house. And for a while, it worked. The following generations of the Matheson family were able to leave peacefully, without beign haunted by Slenderman.
That all changed a century later, when Charles Matheson took his wife and son to the old family homestead for a picnic. While over there, Charlie Jr explored the place and eventually found out about his family's dark secret. In doing so, he awakened an old evil. Slenderman became active once again, and kidnapped Charlie. The Matheson family was haunted once again. And Charles, like Frieda before him, decided to end it all with fire.
Again, it worked temporarily. Until CR came along. Instead of leaving the past behind, he decided to find out more about Charlie's disappearance. He started to dig where he shouldn't, until it was too late. He encountered Slenderman in the Matheson homestead, and awakened him once again. Then, since Kate was a close friend of CR, they both became haunted. Finally, for a third time, it all had to end with one thing: fire.
So where does Lauren fit into all of this? Well, by this time, Kate had noticed the repeating cycle. No matter how many times people burned themselves, the whole thing would repeat itself all over again as long as there was somebody left to restart the cycle. First, it had been Charlie. Then, it was CR. And now, it would've been Lauren. She was Kate's best friend from childhood. Kate knew that Lauren would undoubtedly try to find out what happened to her and CR, and she would unknowingly be starting the cycle once again. More people would get roped in. Slenderman would acquire more victims. That's why she had to die.
Kate decided that killing her friend Lauren was the only way to ensure that Slenderman would not be awakened again in the future. It was the only way to truly end the cycle, once and for all.
Juan Carlos Rodriguez well written.
whoa
Next up: ghost busters starts the cycle again, finally catches slenderman
Is Lauren dead? did they change it bc there is a few endings
@@mrsirmaam5150 There will be a third game at some point it needs to have great graphics so the Slenderman looks great and it will be a relative of CR or a person who investigates the radio tower fire, another thing.
I feel like if the game devs saw this video, they’d be pretty happy with this story, even if this wasn’t the story they were going for
This game is all just pure insanity
I played the Game myself and if u enter the burned house there are single frames where u see a picture, could plz check what pictures these are?
Oh those they are Charlie and his family
-RidleyBruh - Ah thx
PanzerScout Productions your welcome
Also, the game takes place in Alberta, Canada. I found out because of a license plate on CRs car in homestead
TheGmodMagician Slenderman is Canadian confirmed.
I was born in Edmonton, Alberta, I feel personally attacked, leave me alone Slenderman
They need to make an arrival 2
Edit: nevermind
We need another sequel
With the way this game ends, there should definitely be a sequel to decisively conclude what happened to the characters.
YES they should is been now years why haven’t they made a sequel
I have to disagree with all of you, to be honest, an open ending like this is perfect for the this game. Think about it. Horror stories are always better when they have an open ending where you get to imagine what could've happened after that. Another horror game that comes to my mind, where the "cannon" ending is left open, is SCP: Containment Breach. Either Ending 1 or 2 of Gate A, you never truly know what happens to your character and that is perfect. With Slender, I think an open ending makes that too, it left me thinking if Lauren will be turned into a proxy too or just killed. And let's not forget something, making a sequel to just know what happens to Lauren is a bit meh in my opinion. If we would have more characters with their fate unknown then yeah, a sequel would be nice but when it's just one character I don't think it is needed.
@@TheTuriam yeah i was think more of a sequel that is unrelated to the other story. Thats why i love stuff like lovecraft monsters, it lets you imagine how scary they are
I recall an explanation like this from a completely different TH-camr! They seemed to have unlisted or taken it down though, but this explains just the same! Thank you for making this!
Excellent analysis/explanation! This game has always been a personal favorite.
It's nice to see to finaly see an english video about Slender the Arrival's story. I think there is to much "reading", I think It would have been more interesting to see more interpretation because the video is mostly reading the note you can found in the game, also the smoke effect is quite annoying, I understant that you want to create a creepy mood but the music can do it by itself. Now the video's still good, there's just some little thing here and there that needs to be change, keep trying !
One of the best explanations I’ve ever seen, the story in the game is actually well made and I get chills when I just think about it, I know people see Slenderman as a meme because of the bad movie and stuff, but the games are great, I just wish we could get another sequel because it’s been 7 years,
Slenderman was the biggest horror entity on the internet for a few years but the lack of games, no movie ruined the buzz. Victor Surge didn't act fast enough, Slender The Arrival is a short game with lazy development or The Slender Man needs a great game or a great movie to revive this, maybe a marble hornets movie or game will be developed.
Now Blue Isle is making a remaster for this Game, and advertised what’s most likely going to be the sequel to this.
@@tarheelpro87 I already got the news and I replaying the original version to prepare myself for the remastered one so I don’t get an heart attack 😂
I remember that there was a video that covered the fact that one of the Mathesons actually summoned slender man and that’s why he hunted them down. It would be nice if you could cover that in a future video as that same video I mentioned got removed
The Giga Master I think I remember that video! I forgot which TH-camr created it though
@@gravymakes Inside a Mind did I think
@@ryancriddle5240 its deleted tho :( but theres still a reaction vid of it if u want it badly
Dude, this needs seriously more views, this is the most accurate and amazing explanation i've ever seen, i understood every single detail you said, and i found it really helpful. You have a new subscriber. :)
Honestly I feel like this story should have been in the Slender Man movie and speaking of which I've made up a story that is somewhat synonymous to the Slender: the Arrival Story and it would be a pleasure if you tell me what you think about it. Alright without further ado here's the story made up by me:
So this story is about 3 group of adults like in the Slender: the Arrival. There's Tom who is CR, Laura who is Kate and Brandon who is a male version of Lauren (yes I made up the names so don't judge me). So it begins with Brandon waking up in a forest not knowing how he end up there. Until police were there and they saw Brandon and asked him if he was OK in which he replied "Yea, I think so". One police officer then went to Brandon and asked him how he ended up in the forest and what actually happened. But at that point Brandon was stressed and so the officer told him "it's alright, we can talk in the police station, if you want to" which Brandon agreed. The officer then told his crew to check the forest if there were another survivors in the forest and drove Brandon to the police station so that Brandon tells him what actually happened. Later on they got there and the officer gave Brandon something to eat because he thought he was hungry. The police officer asked Brandon one more time how he ended up in the forest and what actually happened to him in which Brandon then started explaining the officer of his "experience": It was about a few days ago and Brandon was with his childhood friends Tom and Laura. Tom and Laura lived next to each other while Brandon was about a few miles away. They were at Laura's house with swings and Playground where they used to have fun when they were kids. Tom tells Laura how excited he was about his adventure with Laura about the disappearance of Mathew Henderson's son Mathew Henderson Jr since they were solving mysteries, ghost hunting they call it, in the woods, at the Oakside Park, that was behind Laura's house as kids when they were sneaking out of the house at night and to no surprise Brandon ignored them although he was into solving mysteries as well. That was until Tom texted Brandon to see if Laura was OK. At that Brandon was a bit confused and asked Tom about what happened in which Tom replied "I told Laura that I had feelings for her and now she doesn't answer me. We were doing an investigation and I said some things to her that broke her and we were done with the investigation". "Well that's stupid" said Brandon "You shouldn't worry about that bro. Just give her some space, you know". A few weeks later Brandon decides to meet up with Tom and Laura to see how they're holding up. After meeting at the Oakside Park Tom then tells Laura and Brandon about his idea of searching for more clues about the disappearance of Mathew Henderson Jr at his old farm house and he wanted to help his father, Mathew Henderson, even if Mathew pushed Tom away instead of letting him help. He then asks Laura if she wanted to come with him to understand a bit more about the mystery in which Laura replied "Sorry Tom, but I can't really, I already told you we ended this investigation". "oh, o- OK then, I'll try to solve it myself then". At this point Brandon thought of stopping Tom to investigate alone. "Hey, Tom." Brandon started. "What's the matter?" asked Tom. But then Brandon knew that his childhood friend was into investigations as kids, so it wouldn't be a problem for him. "Good luck"Brandon said." Uh, thanks" Tom said confused. However a week later Brandon texted Tom to see how the investigation went. But judging by Tom's texts it seemed like Tom was paranoid of something. "Dude, are you OK? What's wrong?" texted Brandon in which Tom replied "oh, uh nothing's wrong, I'm fine". "are you sure?" asked Brandon. "you can tell me everything bro, I won't tell anyone I promise". "I'm fine really" Tom replied. "you don't have to worry about anything". At this point Tom seemed a bit suspicious, like he's seen something during his investigation that he's afraid to tell what was it. However Brandon ignored it. That was until a few days later Brandon heard a knock and when he came at the door he saw Laura who was puffing so hard like she was running marathon. "Laura? What are you-" Brandon asked when Laura interrupted her. "Brandon, let me in please!" begged Laura. After letting her in Brandon was confused. "Laura, what are you doing here? What happened?" asked Brandon once more. "There's something in the woods behind my house!" yelled Laura. "What do you mean there's someone in the woods?" asked Brandon confused. "Have you heard of the myth Slenderman?" asked Laura while trying to calm down. "Slenderman? You mean the tall guy with a suit that has no face and haunts children?" asked Brandon. "Yes, but..." she starts. "He also appears when you're aware of his existence. Like you know he's there, you know that he's real and he just... Haunts you for eternity" said Laura. "Damn. But what were you doing in the forest at night?" asked Brandon. "Tom sent me a message that he wanted us to go to the forest to confront him, the Slenderman . And then..." stopped Laura. "Then, what? What happened? What did you see?" asked Brandon once more. "We saw HIM , the Slenderman. We ran away because we were so scared but I lost Tom in the woods and I couldn't find him as I was screaming for my life. I didn't want to go to my house since it was too close to the forest so I ran all the way here." said Laura. "So Tom is out there? In the woods? Jesus Christ. We gotta go find him." said Brandon. "NO! Are you crazy?! What if HE is still out there waiting for us?! I don't wanna go there in the dark again." said Laura. "Alright then I guess we have to wait until dawn and get you back home and after that I'll try to find Tom. Ok? Sounds good to you?" asked Brandon. "Yea... I guess" replied Laura, shakenly about what happened earlier. The next day Laura and Brandon go to her house after what happened last night. But by the look of it Brandon knows Laura is hiding something that Brandon still doesn't know. "Brandon..." says Laura while looking at Brandon. "Thank you for letting me stay during the night". "Sure, no problem". Said Brandon. Brandon then got Laura to her house. "Well I guess now I have to go look for Tom if he's still in the woods. So see you later then." said Brandon. "Sure. Be careful." replied Laura. Brandon then went in the woods and started yelling Tom's name couple of times but it was to no avail. Eventually Brandon gave up and thought Tom probably went to his house and so he went home again. A few days later Tom called Brandon." Hey dude. Where were y-" started Brandon. "Brandon, shit, where's Laura?!" said Tom. "What? What do you mean? I was with her the other day. She came at my house because she told me she ran away from the forest and lost you and I took her to her house the next day." Brandon explained. "Dude, I've called her dozens of times and she didn't answer. I later checked if she was home but she wasn't there at all!" said Tom. "Did you inform the cops about it?" asked Brandon. "No, I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should go out there to look for her, I don't even know where she is for crying out loud!" Tom yelled. "Calm down. Call the cops and tell them what happened." Brandon said trying to calm Tom down. "Alright, fine, if there's no other option." said Tom. "Hopefully it's not too late." A few days later Brandon got a message from Tom. "They found her. She was at the Oakside Park lying on the floor. There were also a broken camera and some weird drawings right next to her. We're at the hospital at the moment". "Alright I'm coming right now" Brandon replied. As soon as Brandon sent the message he got in his car and drove to the North Cross Hospital. After asking the receptionist where his friend Laura was and after she told him the room in which Laura was he got there as fast as he could. After going in the room he saw Tom standing next to Laura's bed. "How is she?" asked Brandon. "She's fine. The doctor said she was knocked out unconscious but she's gonna be fine" Tom replied. "Well, that's a relief" said Brandon. "Hey Tom. What happened at that night where you and Laura went to the woods to confront the Slenderman? She told me that she lost you in the woods when running away from the creature" said Brandon. "So she told you about that night?" Tom sighs. "Well after investigating the barn house of the Henderson family I started seeing hallucinations" Tom replied. "What kind of " hallucinations"?" Brandon said while interrupting Tom. "It were of this creature, Slenderman. You heard of him, right?" asked Tom. "Well, I definitely heard stories of him. And Laura told me as long as someone knows about his existence he'll continue to stalk them" replied Brandon. "So she didn't tell you everything" Tom interrupted. "What do you mean?" Brandon asked. "While I was at the Barn House investigating the disappearance of Mathew Henderson Jr..." Tom began. I found this old book of stories from Richter Henderson, Frieda Henderson's grandmother. Frieda was told about the Slenderman since she was only a kid. From that moment she knew about his existence and thus Slender began to haunt her and her children, Walter and Rose Henderson. And there were also journals left by two of the family members, Maggie and Aurora, with one page in each of the journals in particular with the Slenderman. Maggie states how Rose suddenly vanished after not coming home. However Aurora didn't believe in what her grandmother tells about the creature taking Walter and Rose away from the family and believes they only ran away from this world, never to be seen again.
.
Soo TH-cam doesn't allow me to continue since it's too long lol. Either way let me know what you guys think about the story and if you want a continuation to it
Approved
Emilturbo5 then what happens?!
@@cosmok-1367 I can finish the story here as a reply however it depends how long TH-cam lets me to write
Alright so here's the continuation, and possibly the ending of my story of the Slenderman:
Right after hearing what Tom said, Brandon remembered that his friend visited Mathew Henderson, the father of his missing son Mathew Jr. "You did mention once that you wanted to help Mathew Jr's father for his missing child, correct? He's also part of the family that experienced this, right?" Brandon asked. "Yes", said Tom, "From what I heard after his son disappeared and his wife divorced him, he burned down his house with him inside, killing him. The same thing that Richter Henderson to cleanse her souls from that thing, Slenderman". "But this should have stopped his existence as well" Brandon said confused. "Unfortunately, no" Tom continued, "As long as that family knew of his existence, he'd continue to live on. And now with happened with Laura recently, I'm now even more worried about this situation". A moment of silence went on as Brandon was absolutely confused, yet concerned about what Tom said. "Brandon, I want you to move somewhere far away from this place. I don't want you to be part of this as well" Tom begged Brandon worryingly. "What about you guys? I can't just leave you hopeless and scared for your lives!" said Brandon. "Hey, bro, don't worry about us. I'm sure we'll get through this. We're best friends after all!" Tom foolishly attempted to comfort Brandon after which they hug it out. Right before Tom was about to leave the room Brandon asked him one last question. "Hey, Tom, what did you actually see back when you were at the barn House during your investigation of the missing child?", to which Tom replied: "That shouldn't concern you for now buddy. We should worry about Laura now". After that Tom left the room. After that Brandon noticed Laura's bag right next to her with bunch of weird and out-of-ordinary drawings and a broken camera with a recent footage taken just when she was at the Oakside Park. "OK? Well at least the camera still works despite the damage" Brandon said to himself. He then decided to play the footage. At the beginning of the recording he heard Laura's voice saying: "Tom! Where are you?! I got your message! What did you want to show me?!... Tom?" Brandon confused continued watching. The next few minutes it showed Laura walking in the woods collecting some weird drawing hanging on the trees while also mumbling to herself. Suddenly the camera began to malfunction." What the-?" said Laura in the recording. Then out of nowhere that thing, Slenderman, appeared right in front of Laura in the recording which made Brandon almost jump because of getting scared of what he just saw. Laura then screamed for her life and ran away as fast she could. Brandon then fast forwarded the footage to the point where she was knocked out unconscious. "What the hell even is this?!" said Brandon now even more confused. Then he looked at the drawings and noticed that they were the same ones that Laura collected from the forest. While one of them was the supposed message from Tom saying: "I'm okay Laura. The woods are so beautiful. Come join me". "No, no, that's not Tom. He wouldn't write that kind of stuff" Brandon said. Suddenly Laura woke up and saw Brandon in the room with her. "Brandon? What- what are you doing here? Where am I?" Laura asked confused. "You're in the hospital," Brandon replied. "The police found you last night, lying unconscious in the woods. They also found your camera, unfortunately it's broken. And some weird drawings". "What about Tom? Is he alright?" Laura asked, concerned about her friend. "He's safe" said Brandon. "He was just here with me in this patient room. But, Laura, what are these drawings? They were in your bag along with your camera". "Brandon, I don't know. I collected them from the woods. I don't know who put them there, they were just... hanging on the tree branches" Laura replied. Suddenly right after saying this Laura began to scream and whale as she was saying: "Brandon! Help! He's here! Oh my god he's here! No, get away!!" "What?! What do you mean- LAURA! SNAP OUT OF IT!", Brandon yelled. He then called someone for help and the doctors immediately got there, in the room where Laura was. Brandon left the hospital even more shocked, "What the hell is going on right now?!". His mind was racing with questions, so many questions. Questions such as: "What's gone wrong with Laura? What do these pages have in common with the Slenderman? Who did she supposedly see by now?"
Fast forward to many years later, Brandon just moved to his new house, far away from his old one, just like Tom told him to. When he suddenly got a voice message from his old friend, Laura, saying:" Hey Brandon, long time no see. How are you doing? Man, Tom and I really miss you, but we understand your decision about moving on. What's important is that we still talk to each other. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. I called you to ask for your help of selling my house after my mother passed away unfortunately. I know that you may be busy by now, but I'd love you to help me out with this stuff. Anyway, call me when you can. We miss you Brandon".
This is actually one of the best game lore videos I’ve ever watched, it’s such a shame that it only has 32k views (at the time I’m watching it).
You have no idea how much it means to hear that :) Thank you!!
Sneaky Peddler no problem! The best of the best deserves it!
Thank you so much. The atmosphere in this game is amazing. The story is all over the place though. Glad someone actually took there time to explain it. Hopefully we get another slender game with a cool and mysterious story and scary atmosphere just like this game.
Amazing video, my friend!
3:35 that is one long note!
This was fantastic explanation of the story amazing work.
Thanks for making this. Trying to put the pieces together by myself was a little hard because the game keeps scaring me xD
I thought the story was longer but it's still good, I don't know where does the rest of the levels fall in terms of story but this is the only lore explanation video I have found.
Once again, thank you so much!
Great video, but there’s still one thing that bothers me. When does Kate get turned into a proxy? Because if that happens when Lauren hears hear scream coming from the woods, how would she then later meet up with CR and then run away from him? It seems illogical that she was already a proxy at that point...
Also, how sure are we that CR started the forest fire and not slender? And who wrote all the text on the walls of the mine, the cave and the building by the radio tower? And to who was that all written? Especially the mine, because the text tells Lauren how to get up by the elevator. Could it not be that CR arrived before Kate at the tower and wrote all of that on his way for Kate to read? Then when Kate met him (after being harassed by slender), she ran away, got caught and turned into the chaser to later stalk Lauren? What do you think?
Kate was partially turned into a proxy. At the ending, she's seen in her human form and then she turns into a proxy. The text on the mines are written by Kate so Lauren can escape before it's too late and gets posessed again. While Lauren is inside the caves, that's when CR burned himself and set the forest on fire, and thus when the audio tape found at the radio tower was recorded.
This video is underrated. Great explanation and easy to understand.
I really do wish Marble Hornets got more love :(( it’s one of the oldest creepypastas out there man, masky & hoodie neeeeeed to be in at least one game pls
I totally think they can continue the story
Cr doesn’t go because she wants to investigate Why Charlie is missing she goes because she wants to know why Kate is gone
So kate was a half proxy when she got captured by slender in her room. Then later when she escaped the tower where CR died,she was captured by slender again and became a full proxy?while lauren was at her house?
I think cr died before Kate's video, so when he did, kate when back home, then after she jumped out the window, the 8 pages take place where you play as kate, then she is proxified at the end of the game.
Brendan O'Brien eight pages is between arrivals timeline
@@glados8346 it takes place at the beginning of arrival. Kate's screaming is when you finish 8 pages
In the files of Slender: The Arrival
Lauren's unconscious body model is named "lauren_dead". By that we can safely assume Kate killed her.
I like to think Kate and Lauren barely escaped the slender mans grasp and Kate somehow returns to normal or at least as much as she could after all she went through she and Lauren burn all of the notes and emails about slender and they is to never speak of The events again and move on with life both mentally and emotionally scared For the rest of their lives
Oh me too cause I feel sorry for them. But it's unlikely as the Slender man never stops hunting you unless you find a way to send him back or kill him. Its part of what makes this game so scary and sad, they might have thought they got away with it for a couple days but then they realise that they're permanently fucked for lack of a better word.
Maybe if they burned that forest that slender man lives in they’ed be safe
That’s a happy ending, we all want a happy ending, but sometimes we need a sad one
I like the idea that Kate and Charlie Jr can never return to their lives from before, they’re eternal servants to the faceless demon, but Proxies have some level of awareness, they may be servants, but they’re unwilling, they’re slaves that want freedom, they can’t kill themselves because Slenderman won’t allow them, and even if they could, what good would that do? Slenderman could just find more
Charlie and Kate chose to fight Slenderman as proxies, they’re doomed to live on in torment anyway
Notice their actions, in the Homestead level, Charlie attempts to kill CR, if Slenderman needs people to know about him in order to spread his influence, he wouldn’t have Charlie attack CR, but Charlie did it anyway, because he couldn’t let CR leave and spread Slenderman’s influence
Kate kills Lauren, she can’t let Lauren live, even though Lauren is her best friend, she can’t let such an evil continue existing and operating, so she does the only thing she can do and rids the world of Slenderman’s evil, but she still can’t end her own life
By the end of the game, Slenderman’s influence is contained, any evidence of his existence has gone up in flames, and his servants have most likely gone into hiding, all that was left was to get rid of Lauren and CR, so when CR killed himself in the radio tower and Lauren was killed by Kate, it was over, Slenderman’s influence couldn’t spread any further
Kate and Charlie will probably spend many more years, tormented by Slenderman, but they accept it, they can’t escape it, but they know their suffering is a price to pay for everyone else’s safety
That’s the best ending, two die, two suffer for the rest of their miserable existences, and Slenderman’s influence dies
Letter seven was written by slender man. The writing is very different from cr
Wait so does The Arrival have any direct connection to The Eight Pages? Do they have anything to do with each other?
Yes they do.
Slender The Eight Pages Takes Place Between Arrival
The Main Character Is Kate In The Eight Pages, After Kate Got The Eight Pages Kate Was A Half Proxy Because Slenderman Caught Her In The End But She Escaped And Then Became A Full Proxy At The Park Because Slenderman Fully Caught Her In The Arrival.
Am I the only one who thought that the bell sounds in the opening sequence of the game sounded like the start of “here comes the bride”?
Thanks so much for the story, finished the game and I was so confused.
What about the hardcore ending where Lauren survives and escapes the tower?
I think that isn’t canon probably
Dylan torres yeah it’s not in the newer versions of the game
Hella good video! I hope the algorithm works in your favor
Good job mate! I really like the video thanks peace
This was a great video and you can find no other content so detailed and comprehensive in explanation of the story for the arrival steam game, I'm gonna share this with others I know who are still confused with unanswered questions after completing the game years ago
Despite the seemingly endless cycle of it all, Kate and CR were able to end it all
The way Slenderman was discovered went up in flames, alongside the rest of the forest, CR died and Kate killed Lauren, the last person to ever find out about Slenderman, while Kate and Charlie would never die as his proxies, Slenderman would never be able to claim any other victims, he’d claimed the last ones in Charlie, Kate, CR and Lauren, and Charlie and Kate are proxies, he can’t torment them anymore
In other words, humanity is Slenderman’s toy store, when they become a proxy, they’re a broken toy, not worth playing with anymore, and so he must find new victims, new toys, but he can no longer do that
Although it’s tragic, CR was able to do what he set out to do in the first place, uncover the truth of the Matheson family’s haunted past, and ultimately rid the world of the ancient evil once and for all
I love your narration. The video proves of the time you investigated and spent on the game. The voice acting is really great also. 10/10
Incredibly underrated video Nice job man
Watching this after my 3rd play through of the game😄
I can't even complete the eight pages without Shitting my pants
Soo long lol I subed and like
Great job
i see a slight resemblance and inspiration from night mind :^), great video!
This is what the slender man movie should have been not a ring rip off
Really great video! I don't know why you don't have a lot of views on it
I re bought this game because last time I saw it was on the xbox 360 and that was a long ago I got it on ps4
I feel sorry for Charles Matheson. 😔
This explanation is so great. I was like 7 when I first saw this game I was beyond scared homestead especially.
Awesome video! I play Slender: The Arrival every October to get in the mood for Halloween. This game does an amazing job of capturing that childhood feeling of being out in the woods and always wondering what else is out there, and if you're really alone. I got excited when it received a Switch port in 2019, thinking that meant they hadn't forgotten about the franchise and are possibly developing a sequel...
Time to play it again!
Well you get my sub here ya go
I love how you read note 7
I was imagine Slender as Springtrap
Note 12: “the house had to go, it can’t save me anymore”. Was that Charles Matheson?
yes
@@SneakyPeddler chilling 😟
Did you make this video before the charlie parts came out?
good his story telling voice and acting is soothing damn good shit
Thank you!!
There is 1 more ending
Lauren kills her self in the radio tower
The grandma should have burned that book
Your explanation is really well put together and makes a lot more sense!
As for the timeline of Lauren's part. Here's what I thought this is: Lauren heard Kate's scream in the house ->went investigating, got chased and blacked out at Oakside park -> At the same time Kate jumped out of her bedroom window, left for the radio tower to meet up with CR, where Kate was unable to follow CR's plan (which is, to kill themselves) and eventually gave in to Slender Man. When Lauren finally woke up and went to the mining factory, the chaser she saw was the newly transferred proxy, Kate.
I hope the best for a sequel!
Well, you're in luck. S: Lost Chapters is the upcoming sequel coming out in 2024.
Good story!
They should make this a movie
In a sense Slenderman itself is a modern boogeyman. It has vaguely authoritarian shape and has this far appeared only in current times. Of course being fabricated folklore gives it flexibility to appear always anywhere and anytime. I would love to see exploration of it in a period piece.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this. Normally I don't stick around to watch theory videos so long, but this one had my attention all the time! What a masterpiece!
Remember when slenderman was a thing?
Oh wow nice, maybe I shouldn't be worshipping Slender so much haha
2013? 😂 Fucking shit
How is that so long back?
this was excellent. not only do you put the story in a cohesive timeline with excellent editing, but the way you read off the letters too puts this video on a whole nother level
Amazing Story
Lauren died, we saw it in the cutscene when you complete the game in hard mode.
Underrated video right here.
I never thought that slender man would be a memetic hazard
Super underrated
This needs a ton of more views!!
Hey, you said it, not me haha
Sneaky Peddler I’ll be sure to share it around!
@@SneakyPeddlerYou should do an explanation to the 10 Year Anniversary Update for Slender: The Arrival and the sequel called S: Lost Chapters which comes out in 2024.
I've been keeping up with the release and I'll be sure to cover any new story included in it!
My niggaa he does not kill kids
Even if he didn’t, he still tortures them and steals them from their families
Fates worse than death
I always found the game interesting but I got lost by the story. Thanks for the summary.
The only think I didn’t like is how you “tried” to make it scary. I think a lot of people would like it better just to talk normally.
He wants to log out.
Bruh you are on a PC you CAN log out
The only person who disliked this video just hates everything scary
Lauren is confirmed alive and there will be a new Slender game coming December 13th 2019. It’s going to focus more on Kate than Slenderman, and the game will be appropriately called “The Chaser”
theslenderman.fandom.com/wiki/The_Chaser_(2019)
2022, still no new Slenderman game
"The Chaser" is more of a spin-off. However, there's a sequel to Slender: The Arrival called S: Lost Chapters that comes out in 2024.
Been a while since I dived into Slenderman. Definitely has become a classic in video game horror, or even horror in general. I do wish a sequel of this game would be made but the chances of that are slim to none.
They cashed in and made a lazy game that looked like a game that took a few months to develop, the fans wanted a detailed, long game with a great story that would be remembered as one of the best horror games in history but they got a short, very undetailed visually. The story in the arrival is good, the reveal it was Kate was in the original was good, the update levels were good but environments were not detailed, the game is too short. They cashed in and once Slenderman lost some of his huge popularity it seems parsec ditched Slenderman. The only sequels are fan made sequels that have shutdown.
Seeing this has made me invested in the game once again, great job!
Amazing, but REALLY creepy.
This video is obviously the best for explaining slender the arrival but you may more explain the events in the first slender game dont worry its really cool tho ; )
I’m the Real masky
@@peakintotheabbys2696 lmao go make your homework kid jajaja
@@yanngalliano9389 I know my homework
@@peakintotheabbys2696 what is it then ?
@@yanngalliano9389 masky form marble hornets
So kate remains a proxy forever?
Now I understand the story thank you for telling us you are great👍
Carl's a real control freak
It feels like this game has been abandoned.
There wasn't much to add, but I see your point
There should be a sequel but I think it’s too late
@@peakintotheabbys2696Well, there's a sequel called S: Lost Chapters coming out in 2024.
And....... What about the secret ending ?
What ending
@@sovietpierogi69 no i mean the secret stage where you're in a glitchy place and when you lose instead of getting a slender flashscreen you get a flashscreen of missing Charlie's picture with the same sound of slender jumpscare
Ohhh I didn’t know what you were talking about
@@darkhero792 that’s a difficult one to explain…I don’t even know if there is an explanation
18:28 it loads forever for me
Me too
Oh wow i thought my internet was screwing up. Guess its on youtubes end
I feel bad for Charles
Is the grandmother granny???
This needs more views
So it’s all real?!
Is no one gonna ask why all of the characters have camcorders
So that slendey can distort and spook ur giblets out.
Good job
