While I did enjoy the atmosphere that this game still conveys even after a decade. The gameplay is outdated and just isn't very fun to actually play.
This being an official continuation of the OG games continuity, while simple and neat, is left very vague throughout the entire experience. You HAVE to look at all the collectable notes to really understand everything, hell, I didn't even know the character you played as had a name throughout my entire five-hour playthrough. It was just odd. They were inspired by Marble Hornets for certain plot beats as well, and it does show. But you'd be better off experiencing the objectively better Slender-Man story IN Marble Hornets.
Overall, while I didn't hate playing this, nostalgia was HEAVY carrying my enjoyment. This game deserves to be remembered for the impact it had on indie games and internet horror. But you should probably just watch an old playthrough instead.
