When asked what they would do if someone was in their house, Mariya answered that should would get multiple knives and stab them. Renae answered that she would find something heavy to hurt them or just stab them in the balls, echoing what Kelli said in Part One.

Stacy answered that she would either grab a knife, call the cops, or if she was with someone with a gun, she would grab the gun. Sydney simply answered that she would just hide and not to bother with closing any of the doors or windows.

When asked what they liked about the game, Mariya answered that it gets the adrenaline going and makes her want to finish it even if she doesn't want to play it. Renae jokes that Slender has a beautiful face, calling back her face off with him. The level was not given a rating.

Renae and Mariya approach a door and think they did something, which they get excited about, but learn that they didn't do anything. Stacy thinks she's found a key but she hasn't, as Sydney notices that the music is getting heavier, which she does not like.

Renae and Mariya wander some more before encountering static, which creeps them out. They presumably find the key and head deeper into the tower. The flashlight then dies, Mariya not taking it well, as the girls follow the light of the fire.

The girls eventually find a room with a burning body and a video camera, with the girls take and play the audio. The girls listen intently, as the two voices begin to burn themselves, Renae being too scared to see what happens next and looks away.
