Ratings and reviews

While it does lag sometimes on my phone, it seems to run mostly fine. Controls are jank, but that's mobile controls in general for me. But the biggest problem I have is with the achievements. As a completionist, it triggers me that I can't get the Tangled achievement. There is a glitch in The Arrival where if you walk right up to the tentacles, you will not die. I stood in one spot for the tentacles to grab me, and they came up to me and just stayed there almost like they were stuck. Fix this.

The game is seriously great and the gameplay is just like how I play on Xbox 360, but I'm wondering if you guys can add a control page where you can change the mobile controls like "Run : Hold/Toggle" and such. The only trouble I see is that a Proxy (Kate) refuses to hunt after you and just idle on some specific areas such as an upper railing pathway at the main area of the mineshaft where the elevator is, I was wondering if you could fix her pathfinding.

After playing Slender the Arrival on multiple platforms I can approve that this version is up to standards of the PC and Console versions. Some small tweaks I have noticed in the game play and extra achievements that were not available in the Console versions. Games difficulty is tweaked and nowhere near as hard as the Nintendo Switch version but the visuals and audio are on point. A worthy port if nothing else, recommended for the price it asks for.
