In this very special – how special? This special (you can’t see it, but my arms are really wide right now) – episode of ‘Adam Plays’, where I don’t actually play anything. The angry, ancient Halo 4-obsessed man that is my father plays Slender: The Arrival, and, get this, Slender Man nearly catches him after the first page.

If you like watching an old man awkwardly maneuver around doors for 14 minutes while yelling at the computer because his character doesn’t run fast enough, the scariest thing about this video is how much I think you’re going to love it.

Welcome to Adam Plays Slender: The Arrival, Part 2: Electric Boogaloo — the sequel to Adam Plays Slender: The Arrival (you can watch that here). In this highly anticipated follow-up, Adam continues his horrifying adventure, this time with the vocal assistance of his reptilian ninja obsessed friend, David! You know what’s scarier than Slenderman? How about a hoodie-wearing homeless man/woman/thing that is crazy good at cardio? Watch it after the jump!

I like to fancy myself an enthusiast of the horror genre. I’m experienced, desensitized, some might say. For some reason, all that experience goes out the window when I play a game like Slender: The Arrival — the “reimagining” of Mark Hadley’s The Eight Pages, which you probably remember taking the Internet by storm last summer. It’s a collaborative effort between Hadley, Blue Isle Studios, and Marble Hornets creators Joseph DeLage, Troy Wagner and Tim Sutton. It’s terrifying. If you’d like a good laugh, feel free to watch me try and play it after the jump.

If you get easily motion sick, are prone to seizures, or are inflicted with a combination of the two (you poor thing), the following footage taken from the Slender: The Arrival beta, which was recently made available, probably isn’t for you. Actually, it really isn’t for you, because it’s essentially eleven minutes of someone running through the woods at night complete with weird noises and the shakiest of shaky cams. This puts The Blair Witch to shame, but I’ll still play it. Check it out after the break.

Slender: The Arrival is something that you should have on your radar, if you don’t already. It’s the follow-up to Mark Hadley’s indie hit The Eight Pages, and it’s being developed by Blue Isle Studios with help from Mark Hadley and the team behind the amazing Marble Hornets web series. It looks like Slenderman won’t be the only thing hunting you in this game, too. Check it out after the jump.

‘Marble Hornets’ Creators To Lend Their Talents To ‘Slender: The Arrival’

I hope you’re ready for some great news. Writers Joseph DeLage, Troy Wagner and Tim Sutton — creators of the popular Marble Hornets web series based on the Slenderman mythos — have joined the development team at Blue Isle Studios to craft an interesting fiction around the upcoming reimagining of Mark Hadley’s insanely popular indie horror game Slender: The Eight Pages. The Arrival takes everything that made the original game such a terrifying hit and expands it with new levels, vastly improved visuals, and more to do than collecting pages. Now it looks like the game will have an interesting story to go with it too. If you haven’t watched the Marble Hornets series, I recommend doing so immediately, because it’s terrifying. Just make sure you have the lights off and the sound up. More after the jump.
