“Slender: The Arrival is the official video game adaptation of Slender Man; the paranormal phenomenon that has been terrifying the curious-minded all around the globe,” reads an official blurb about the game. Back in 2012, Slender: The Eight Pages was released as a short, experimental first-person game that helped breathe new life into the horror genre through its use of unadulterated tension building and fear. Slender: The Arrival is the official re-imagining and expansion of the original game, featuring a brand-new storyline, new characters, improved visuals, great replay value and most importantly, survival horror at its finest.”
