![]() ![]() Minuses: Expensive, questionable durability of mat strap attachment loops. Plusses: Light, packs small, super comfortable While most of its features are standard for a high-end mummy bag, the Toe-asis is an excellent touch for a very light bag that will be great for three seasons of the year and into mild winter conditions too. Verdict: This is a sleeping bag you’ll look forward to hopping into at the end of the day. Value: For its temperature rating and fill power the Parsec is expensive, but it’s also very light for its class, with refined features. The first time I slid into it, one of the mat fastening straps caught on my sleeping mat (the strap was atop the map, not around it) and ripped out a thin cord-attachment loop, so there may be a strength issue with those. For both back and side sleepers, it’s a comfortable bag. The fabric has an immediately warm feel to it, and the 800 fill power down is buoyant, making for thick baffles and snug comfort. In use: Some simple details, such as extra-long zip slider pulls and the anti-snag zip, made the Parsec a pleasure to use. The additional foot baffle (Toe-asis Foot Warmer Pocket) adds another level of plushness to the footbox. The hood wraps nicely around the head and is quite deep, while the neck muff/draft collar helps prevent warm air from escaping, although I would have preferred a separate drawcord for extra heat retention. With my slim frame it felt like a performance fit, with little wasted space.Ĭomfort: The first thing I noticed was the feel of the bag’s fabric it has a soft satin finish and a supple touch that gives it a premium quality. A compression stuff sac is included.įit: Available in small, regular and long, the Parsec is shaped to be snug in the legs but a little wider in the shoulders so that extra clothing can be worn when you’re pushing the bag’s limit. We might have the game available for more than one platform. Two removable straps are included that allow the bag to be fastened to your mat, and there is a small zippered external pocket. Slender: The Eight Pages is a Adventure game developed by Parsec Productions and published by Parsec Productions in 2012. The controls to the game are simple: Mouse - Look around. Anti-snag zippers with easy-to-find pullers open a bag that has a prominent neck muff, a deep hood and a cosy additional foot baffle that wraps over the top of your feet. However, the overall aim of collecting 8 pages of the manuscript is quite limited and so the gameplay is a bit limited. In the meantime, we'll be stocking up on some adult diapers in preparation for its eventual arrival.Features: The Parsec is built from 100 per cent recycled nylon and filled with 465g of 800 fill power water-resistant down. Little else is known about the new project as of yet, including when it's expected to release, but we'll keep you posted when we hear more. It still looks pretty neat though, promising 4-player mode. This isn't to be confused the other Slenderman-inspired project called Slender: Source that is being developed by a team of mods independently of Blue Isle and Hadley. Think of it as a sort of interactive Blair Witch Project.Īccording to the new Slender: The Arrival site, upcoming game will include "more levels, improved visuals, and an engaging storyline." We can confirm that the visuals have been much improved, thanks to the couple of early screenshots that have been released. The short, free, incredibly atmospheric experience is a white-knuckler that tasks players with locating eight pages hidden across various landmarks in a dark forest while being pursued by the aforementioned Slenderman. Just who is this Slenderman, you ask? To be blunt, if you like some horror in your videogames on occasion, you need to check out Hadley's original effort, Slender: The Eight Pages. ![]() We've recently discovered that the game's creator Mark Hadley of Parsec Productions is teaming up with indie developer Blue Isle Studios to further realize and expand the concept as a commercial release for PC with Slender: The Arrival. If you're a regular visitor to Shacknews' Chatty, chances are you've come across some talk about an indie game starring a deliciously frightening and relentless figure known as the Slenderman. ![]()
