We’ve heard people mention the game every so often, we’ve even seen the creepy photos that inspired one of the biggest internet memes for the last few years and hell some of our friends have even dressed up as the creature but now the Arcade is getting up close and personal with it as we take on the game for the very first time!
So what is Slenderman you ask?
“The Slender Man is a creature or being with various nebulously defined characteristics and abilities. Slender Man was first mentioned in Something Awful Forum’s “Create Paranormal Images”. Slender Man generally appears (in modern times) as a tall man in a black or grey suit, red or black tie, and white shirt, with no eyes, mouth, or clearly defined facial features. It has no hair, and generally has normal-looking bare hands. Slenderman typically is depicted in imagery and literature as between 6 and 15 feet tall, depending on the situation, and in video as around 6-7 feet tall. Because of its inexact nature, and differences between series, no one has yet determined what it is. Currently, the two leading theories as to what the Slenderman may be are the Tulpa Effect and Quantum Theory. The internet popularity of Slenderman has spawned a massive amount of interconnected ARGs, collectively known as the Slenderman Mythos.“
There you have it and below you can now treat yourself to a laugh as this Editor freaks out, curses and panics like the world was about to come to an end! Please be aware that this video does contain some a lot of foul language! As this was also my first time putting one of these videos together please forgive the mediocre quality!
