Five Nights at the Lakeside: The Arrival

Gameplay
The majority of the game takes place in abandoned areas (house, defunct mine, etc.), each with different objectives. Five Nights at the Lakeside: The Arrival uses similar mechanics to its predecessor, Eight Pages. The character is armed only with a flashlight. This limited defense forces a sense of helplessness, as the best way to survive in the game is to run whenever in danger. The Slender Man's behavior changes slightly between levels. In the first level, the Slender Man can be seen outside the window, and after going through the gate outside he can be seen on the top of hills well away from the player. In level two, he most often teleports off-screen or just out of the character's line of sight, but is capable of appearing directly in front of the player. It is observed that his motion centers around following the player, but consists largely of jumping from place to place, the inconvenience of which is increased as each of the eight pages are collected. His behavior is much the same as this in level four, except more active. In level three, he pursues much less aggressively, though is capable of teleporting directly in front of the player. In this level, the main antagonist is a girl who chases the player (most often following her path directly, but has been seen teleporting. It is unknown whether this is a glitch or an in-game mechanic). The only way of subduing her is by focusing the flashlight (on its second setting) on her. While looking at the Slender Man, the camera succumbs to electronic distortions such as static, blurring, color spots, audio distortion, etc., which obstructs the player's vision unless facing away, and far enough from it. The player cannot pause while this occurs, to prevent them taking a break due to being frightened. When caught, the game over screen is also different; while in Five Nights at the Lakeside: Eight Pages, the player saw a white static background with Azura's head, the one for Five Nights.at the Lakeside: The Arrival is black, with an overhead-lit and color-distorted hue and less static. Easy has infinite flashlight, a greatest deal of stamina, and the enemies are not very aggressive.
