Slender: The Arrival Beta

[Nyarlathotep]

Was never on the hype train for the original. It was a neat game but never found it to be amazing. Cheap deaths annoyed me.

Pre-ordered the full game on an impulse, though, only 5 dollars? The graphics are surprisingly good. I'm enjoying the beta a lot more than the original. Huge improvement, scarier and feels less cheap with the slender placement at times.

The full game is not going to just be a collection fest, either. An interview they've had discussing the flow of the game sounds very promising. I just hope they tone down the difficulty a bit more, at least as an option. The beta is very tense, and for me it's been up in the air whether or not I'd actually be able to finish the search. I'd hate for that kind of outcome in a full campaign structure, at least without a decent save point.
