For those who had not yet experienced the game on previous gen consoles or its original release on PC, The Arrival is a story-based expansion of Slender: The Eight Pages, a free fan-made game that featured a single area and objective that had players navigate the dark woods to collect eight pages before the titular horror catches up to them.

But as with all horror icons, the frightening appeal of Slender Man has diminished along with the fanbase as they move onto the latest horror fads (in the case of videogames, that title undoubtedly goes to Five Nights at Freddy’s and its subsequent sequels).īut there is still a chance for Slender Man to continue keeping his fanbase up at night, as we are still awaiting the film adaptation of the popular Marble Hornets web series along with the latest release of Slender: The Eight Pages on PS4 and XB1. The Slenderman craze kind of came and went with little fanfare, which is a bit of an allegory for the silent stalker himself Conceptualized in 2009 by a Something Awful forumer, Slender Man became a cult hit across the internet, eventually making his way to several multimedia appearances, including the first videogame Slender: The Eight Pages.
