How to unlock the Retro Fan achievement in Slender: The Arrival - Definitive Guide
Genesis is a copy and paste remake of the original Slender game, and the exact same rules apply as they did in that game. The graphics are significantly toned down, the trees are more sparse, and the world is a lot lighter than in the main game, making it easy to see even without a flashlight. Similarly to The Eight Pages level, you are tasked with finding eight pages in order to succeed. The layout of the level is much flatter than The Eight Pages, making it much easier to navigate.
You will start the level in one of three locations, all very near each other. First thing you want to do is to find the building in the center. Playing on Hardcore means an extremely aggressive Slenderman, and you don't want to be caught in a tight space with him roaming around. check all four rooms inside the building in the center for a page. One popular method which takes a little longer is to check out the area before picking up any pages at all, and mapping out where all of the pages are. Slenderman won't start attacking you until you've picked up at least one page on lower difficulties, but on Hardcore he is on a much stricter timer, and will start attacking after some time has passed. I would suggest doing as stated above and simply make the building in the center your first stop, then quickly visiting all of the other locations, checking as you go for pages.
