Take a peek at some Slender: The Arrival beta footage
The follow-up to Slender: The Eight Pages is just around the corner with a March 26 release date, but those willing to put money down early for Slender: The Arrival can play the horror game immediately. Pre-orders are priced at $5, which is half the normal going rate, and include immediate access to the beta. To that end, players have uploaded footage to YouTube. Embedded above is a playthrough by user Spenser Wilson, who actually got all eight pages during his run. Yep, this sure is Slender. Now that I think about it, I should probably relax and start breathing normally again. [Via Rock, Paper, Shotgun] Did you know?
