Slender: The Eight Pages, the free experimental horror game that’s been scaring the living daylights out of gamers for a few months, is officially getting a commercial release, with developer Mark Hadley (AgentParsec) teaming up with Blue Isle Studios to spread the scares even wider.

Slender: The Arrival

The original game (formerly known simply as Slender), sets you in the middle of a deep, dark forest. Your task is simple – to find all eight pages. There is, of course, a catch: Slender Man also lurks in the woods – a mysterious entity who grows more relentless and persistent as you gather each page. You can hardly look at it for long, so fighting is out of the question – as the developers say, “Your only hope is to collect all eight pages before it catches you”.

Slender: The Arrival promises “more more levels, improved visuals, and an engaging storyline”, wrapped up in an even more terrifying package.

You’ll have to wait a little while for this one, Slender: The Arrival is still in the early development stages, but it should be heading out on PC sometime in the not too distant future.
