New Trailer Illustrates How the Wii Remote Lights the Way through this Bone-Chilling Experience
If you’re still in the mood for a scare as we leave the most frightening holiday on the calendar, you’re in for a devilishly horrifying treat. Blue Isle Studios announced that Slender: The Arrival is now available for the Wii U system in North America, and Europe as of last Thursday, October 29.
With the Wii U version, Slender: The Arrival becomes even more gripping and immersive with the use of the Wii Remote, which serves as your in-game flashlight. By moving the Wii Remote players can shine the weak light onto the dark, haunting world of Slender Man in a search for clues in this mystery.
The nightmarish Slender Man is described by eye witnesses as a thin, unnaturally tall man dressed in a black suit with a blank, featureless face. Slender: The Arrival brings extended levels and a unique story to the world of Slender Man that continues to unfold the terrifying mythos. Players are enveloped in a world of sensory deprivation filled with haunting visions and audio cues that create a healthy dose of tension and paranoia.
In The Arrival‘s storyline, Lauren is in search of her friend Kate, who recently has become increasingly obsessed with the folklore of Slender Man. Was Kate’s disappearance the work of Slender Man? Use Kate’s forgotten flashlight with the Wii Remote to explore abandoned houses, creepy mines and dark forests to unravel the mystery – all while being stalked by the menacing presence of Slender Man.
Developed in collaboration with Eric “Victor Surge” Knudson, creator of the paranormal phenomenon, and written by the creative team behind the YouTube Marble Hornets series, Slender: The Arrival is rated ‘T’ for Teen (Blood, Violence).

It is common knowledge that I am frightened of Slender Man. I have been brought to near tears by creepy cosplayers at NYCC, random sightings people are saying they have (thank YOU, Tulpa Effect), and my many attempts at completing the Slender game in order to calm my raging OCD. I thought that looking at pictures and whatnot would assist in unscaring me, but alas, I clutch my pillow tighter as my fear has grown. Damn you, Slendy. Damn you.
What are you most scared of?

I love survival horror games.
Despite the few nightmares I’ve had related to marathon sessions of Silent Hill or Resident Evil, the only one that makes my heart race at the mere thought of it, is Fatal Frame.
When friends began telling me of a new game, one they swear is going to give me the creeps, this one called Slender, my curiosity was piqued. A brief visit to the Google search engine revealed the “foe” of the game is an entity called Slender Man. I’m going to write this article as I play through the game. Right now, all I know is that he (it?) wears a suit, is creepy as hell, and lacks a face. I was told to play in the complete dark with the lights off, but my eagerness has taken over. I’m playing Slender in a dark room with the lights off. Hey, Slender Man?
Bring it.
