so near the end of 2021 i made a video called awful slenderman games which basically had
me go on the app store and looked at some of the various mobile slenderman games out there
but while developing the video in the corner of my eye i spotted slender arena
which is like slenderman but not men playing these games i found them to be really strange
as they were generally not that scary it was also quite surprising to see the abundance
of slender arena games out there as oh boy there is a lot of them now of course not
being slenderman i didn't really bother to investigate any of those games in the video
but did plan to talk about them in the near future and now the future is here so today i
want to explore and play some of these games and just see how scary they can really be are these
games any scary or are they just nothing more than a cheap jump scare simulator well it's time
to find out so without further ado let's take a look at some poorly made slender arena games
so the first game we'll be playing is slenderina cellar a game where you're stuck in a spooky
dungeon and have to escape the spooky girl scrolling down the page the description reads
this is the story of slenderina the seller now she has become more evil than before and hates
it when someone intruding on her territory she will do anything to stop you whatever you go do
not look back so basically the premise of this game is like some of the eight pages where you
have to find eight objects in order to win those objects being random books now i don't know why
there are eight books just scattered all over the cellar but whatever we'll take what we can
get upon spawning in there are four doors for you to go to with one of them being the door to escape
and the other three to find the books and now the game has begun so slenderina is kind of weird the
main way she kills you is if you continue to look at her a little bit like slenderman actually quite
a lot like soda man and the only way to survive from her is to simply just look away to which
she will disappear completely however there are also other ways of her killing you if you are
in the wrong place at the wrong time then all of a sudden slender arena will turn into phase 2 or
she will kill you if you stand in her way but like she doesn't actually kill you it looks like it at
first but then you just get back up what and also turning around from her also doesn't work either
so that was kind of strange the map of this game seems to consist of a maze with a few rooms
everywhere with some of the rooms harboring the books it's definitely mediocre design as mazes and
horror games are nothing really special making the game feel really boring when there isn't
anything else to do there are rooms in this game like a storage room a room with a bookshelf etc
but other than that most of the map just consists of mainly corridors another mechanic that this
game has is locked doors while most rooms around the map can be accessed a lot of them need keys
in order to be locked so not only do we have to find books but we also have to find keys to unlock
doors containing books and sometimes you might not even find anything at all one major problem
that this game has is the amount of locked rooms being totally useless meaning that occasionally
you might unlock a door only for that room to contain nothing and combine with the mace-like
layout of the map and you have yourself a game that can take up to half an hour to complete
this game also has its fair share of bugs like for example doors tend to protect you from the monster
so at times you can kind of just see slender arena standing there at an angle there was also a lot of
jumpscares in this game like getting a pop-up screen or even a freaking head of slenderina
flying at you although unfortunately for me one of the pop-ups glitched and was on my screen
for the rest of the game so that was nice but yeah that's kind of all this game has to offer
once you get the 8 books you go back to spawn and win the game yay now despite how seemingly boring
this game was a lot of people actually seem to like it with over a thousand ratings that rounds
up to a 4.2 and honestly i can actually see why i kind of come off to this game as if it was boring
and for the most part it was but really it's actually pretty decent for being a mobile game
it's serviceable and while there isn't really any replayability in this game there isn't really a
whole lot that this game does wrong so yeah that's about it for this game overall this game was okay
so the next game we'll be playing is slenderina the cursed home if you are scared don't play
this game not suitable if you suffer from the heart a girl disappears in strange circumstances
so loading into the menu it was already apparent that this game wasn't going to be any good
the reviews of this game also seem to think the same way saying things like boring the controls
are bad and urge you not to get this game so this is going to be interesting anyways after
watching an ad about some crappy family game i was now in the cursed house of slenderina
the first thing that you are tasked to do is try to unlock this door this can be solved by
shoving through a bunch of boxes and acquiring a key yeah so this game has physics but they're not
really that good upon walking close to them they tend to just fly in a random direction
but whatever now that we have our key we can begin the game so the goal of this game is like the last
linderina game where you need to find an object to again escape the house but this time around it's
not a-objects or anything like that it's just a simple key but as you'll soon learn i could not
seem to find the set key so the main problem this game has is easily the chandeliers upon going in
each room there will be a chance that a chandelier is in them and for whatever reason i guess slender
arena's house is really faulty because upon going near them they will fall and sink into the ground
and if you're right on top of them then you die this is easily the most annoying mechanic in this
game as it's really frustrating to get killed by the environment when you're not paying attention
and even worse every time you die you are always subjected to the same ad about some crappy piano
game thankfully you can skip this but by then you would have already forgotten about the
chandeliers only for you to die by them again it got so annoying to the point where i've died
from chandeliers more than slendarina herself and speaking of slenderina she also isn't any
better for some reason she is really slow and half the time it seems that you can just look at her
safely without dying naturally if you look at her normally your life bar will go down but sometimes
i found myself having to look away from slenderina when i wasn't even in the same room with her and
it also doesn't help that the controls and movement in this game were really bad now
i assume that the key is somewhere upstairs but unfortunately for me slender arena would always
guard it meaning that i had a juker to go upstairs only for me to die by a random chandelier again
so yeah i couldn't finish this game i imagine i could if i really tried but i figured it's
best not to get myself worked up as this game was really rage inducing don't worry you're probably
not missing out on anything it most likely would just be something along the lines of you have
escaped the end so the third game i'll be playing is house of slenderina a game where you barge into
slingerina's house and have to find more objects to escape so basically this game plays out like
the cellar game we played a few minutes ago where you go around in random rooms and get jump scared
by this creepy sled arena however this time there are a couple of changes for one you are no longer
in a crappy maze-like map which is an upside but not only that you also have a map with you too
so already this game is a step up from the last couple games we've been playing but other than
that the gameplay is pretty much just slender the eight pages the goal of this game is to find eight
pieces of notes after that we put it into this cabinet and go downstairs into another cellar
there isn't really much interesting to know in the gameplay it's just like the cellar game but
now we're in a house inside the house there's an upstairs a kitchen several rooms with nothing
but crates in them and a spider grandma looking thing yeah so the lore by this point of slender
arena gets really weird apparently spoiler alert slender arena has a mom which although she doesn't
actually attack you does play a couple jump scares on you throughout the game naturally there are a
lot of locked doors in this house so a majority of the gameplay is just you looking around for keys
to unlock more doors eventually when you find the last page the cabinet opens up revealing a
seller key yay once we go down in the cellar we go through some hallways only to reveal that one of
the doors is stuck i mean we could just you know unlock it like all the other doors we just used
but for whatever reason your character wants to break down the door to which we do that a moment
later once we break down the door we go inside and oh nose it's slenderino's parents wait hold
on is that slenderman oh my god slenderman had a child the lore expands but yeah that's pretty much
the ending overall this game was just like the seller game but now in the house i will give it
credit for definitely playing out better than the last two games but that's not really saying much
looking at the app store this game has over 650 ratings that rounds up to a 4.2 again this game is
serviceable as a mobile horror game but putting that aside it's kind of just a boring generic
version of slender v8 pages with lore that is really weird so yeah let's go on to the next game
so the next game we'll be playing is slenderina 2d which takes place in slenarina's house again
but in the second dimension so spawning in the game gives us a story to go off of
hello my name is alexander i just have to tell you about what happened to me one evening when
i was out for a walk suddenly the rain began to fall from the sky and i started running to find
a shelter in front of me there appeared an old abandoned house that i have never seen before
i decided to take a closer look okay so basically this nerd was walking until it suddenly started to
rain but instead of going back home he barges into some crappy house and then proceeds to explore it
during our adventure we experienced the usual stuff from all the others when arena games
we unlock various doors go underground solve puzzles and run away from slim arena you are
given three lives before the game restarts however unless you're looking straight at slow arena for
five seconds then you won't die there are traps in this game but they can only ever seem to really
poke you at worst the hell alright well moving on the traps include random blades axes coming out of
the roof and poison gas so if you thought the lore of this game was weird well it's about to get even
weirder so after barging into this random house we explore it like any normal human being and after
unlocking several doors we go into an elevator and then into a cave then we get a metal rod
beat up arena's grandma then we rescue this random girl with really crappy dialogue
are you okay
help me
and then get out of the house by blowing some rock and then we escape what what is up with
the stories of slender arena why do we blow stuff up and go into random people's houses so that was
the end of this game there's not really a whole lot to say about slender arena 2d other than that
the story was really strange there's nothing really wrong with the game it's just really
boring and well not scary well it seems i'll be deleting this game now so let's just move on
and that was the last game that i played on my list so in conclusion slender arena is kind of
an odd character not only is it just slender man but girl but the games that she appears in are
also really strange it's worth noting by the way that about 80 percent of all the slender arena
games are made from one developer that being some guy called dennis so if any of these games looked
or played out the same then that might be because most of them were both made by the same guy
but yeah slender arena was not really that scary but hey that's just my opinion if you
want to play these games then go for it i'm not stopping you before i go if you want to see more
videos like these on my channel then i have a playlist that's content is similar to this video
and also like i said in the intro i have a slenderman video that i made back in 2021
so if you want to watch that the link will be in the description well that's about all
i have to say thank you for watching and i'll see you sometime in the future goodbye
you
