0:26Dashie introduces five throwback horror games to celebrate the channel's fifteenth anniversary.
1:25Slender: The Arrival opens the session because Dashie couldn't locate the original Slender on Steam.
5:07Page hunting in the woods is interrupted by Slender Man's static distortions.
12:30Emily Wants to Play turns a pizza delivery into a haunted-house survival session.
17:07Kiki's midnight jumpscare forces a restart and a change of strategy.

Slender Man gets a question about his suit. An abandoned property gets an HOA inquiry. Dashie's return to classic horror leaves plenty of room for the everyday concerns nobody else would bring into these woods.

"PLAYING FIVE THROWBACK HORROR GAMES IN 2026!!" celebrates the channel's fifteenth anniversary with Slender: The Arrival, Emily Wants to Play, Monstrum, Wick and Five Nights at Freddy's. Dashie explains that he couldn't find the original Slender on Steam, so The Arrival opens the session. By the time he reaches Emily's haunted house, a pizza delivery has become a survival problem, with Kiki supplying an abrupt reminder of the rules.

The upload has reached roughly 570,000 views, the larger total of his two releases this week. Viewers are talking about growing from children into adults between these playthroughs, remembering the "Kikiki" routine and asking for a full Emily Wants to Play replay. Monstrum gets its own little reunion in the comments, too.

The other release, "NINTENDO SWITCH SPORTS RESORTS IS HERE!! LET'S PLAY EVERYTHING!!", swaps haunted houses for sports. It's currently drawing views fastest on the channel, while the anniversary session remains active and the earlier Tales Beyond The Tomb playthrough also keeps adding views.

Across the catalog, DashieGames added about 3.9 million views over seven days. Daily viewing is now more than twice its usual level, though the subscriber count was unchanged for the week. Among nearby variety-gaming channels, SMii7Y and CheapPickle had much larger viewing weeks; WILDCAT and The Yogscast had smaller ones. For Dashie, the distinctive part is the reunion: familiar games, familiar screams and viewers who can remember the first time around.

Lowkey Monstrum had so much potential to be such a great game, and I hope we get a new version of it because it used to be my favorite horror game.
