Prologue | Walkthrough Slender: The Arrival Guide

Where are you, Charlie?

You begin in the woods. Turn left, avoid the trunk and go down onto the path. Follow it down and further to the left. You will pass by a car and the closer you will be to Kate's house, the darker it will get. Before entering the house, note the Missing Child Poster for a boy named Charlie Matheson Jr (1) handing on the wall (opposite to the garage door). The poster will be moved to your scrapbook. Head towards the house and approach the swings in the darkness - Lauren will remember how she used to play on them with Kate. Push the open front door, enter the building and close the door behind you. On the shelf, to the left of the stairs, you will find letter number 1. Read it and it will end up in your inventory.

Go through the door on the left leading into the living room. Look for a flashlight - its location is random, but usually it appears on the ground floor, for example by the cigar package in the music room, by the phone in the kitchen or by letter number 2 in the bathroom. In the living room you will find a note (2) lying on the table. The next room is a music room and the next one a kitchen. There's another note (3) on the fridge and a pamphlet informing of (4) Beth Hayes' funeral.

Go through the corridor and enter the bathroom through the half-open door on the left. On the chest of drawers by the radio (which you can turn on if you want) you will find letter number 2. While walking around the house, you have probably already noticed Slender Man behind the windows. His presence is marked with camera disturbance and change of music. I'd recommend you stay away from the windows and not look at the monster, through the danger during this part of the game is rather small.

Return to the stairs and go to the upper floor. The last room in the corridor on the right is Kate's room and it's locked. You need the keys which can be found in one of the other rooms - they appear randomly; most often they can be found on the desk in the first room of the corridor on the right or on the bed in the room to the left of the stairs. Open Kate's room and take a look around. Note the writings on the walls and pages on the floor. Approach the desk and take the note. You will head a scream - look out through the window to see a gate leading to the woods. Leave the house, but before heading to the gate, stop by the playground. By the slide you will find letter number 3. Climb the platform and use the slide (just try going down and you will automatically slide down) to receive an Easter egg (achievement - Playing on a slide in a horror game).
