I remember when Slenderman first came about thanks to being an old-time goon from the SA forums. Marble Hornets was a real treat and in the early days of YouTube was great at freaking out friends I showed. Then pop-culture came knocking and Slenderman went from creepy guy in picture, to joke almost overnight.
Then that movie came out that I think was a horror film, but played far better as a comedy. As someone who pens horror scripts, that’s really something you don’t want happening to your work. And while the Slemderman train might be over, might as well make a quick stop on the Nintendo Switch before it goes off the rails into obscurity.
Blue Isle Studios, the studio behind Valley and Citadel: Forged With Fire, announced today that its survival horror game Slender: The Arrival is now available on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop. The horrors hidden within the mysterious Slender universe can now be discovered anywhere, as the summer is no longer just for exploring the wild and swimming in lakes – it’s also for getting stalked by nightmarish terrors itching to end your life.
To commemorate the release, Slender: The Arrival will be available for the promotional launch sale price of $6.99 on the Nintendo eShop.
