Slender: The Arrival, the official sequel to the original Slender: The 8 Pages is finally coming to Steam, and with new content. Based on the now infamous Slenderman urban legend, the game was developed by Parsec and Blue Isle Studios, and published by Majesco's new indie label, Midnight City.
I'm particularly interested because it was written by the Marble Hornets crew, a group of Youtubers who created an original web series based on the legend and expanded on it considerably. Appropriately, the game will launch on Steam on October 28th, for $9.99.
