So I am not one for horror games, NOPE NOPE NOPE. But because AmazonAgent couldn’t make the trip to PAX Prime, I promised her that I would play Slender: The Arrival (Oculus Rift edition) for her. Needless to say, I almost shit my pants. It too me awhile to get use to the Oculus Rift, you know using your head to look in a game that is not something natural, as strange as that sounds. It didn’t help that when I was playing the game it was in a party bus with the lights out and the surround sound all the way up. I was fucking scared, so I guess that is what the goal is… but I was not happy. I wish I could have gotten some video of it but it was too dark. I wasn’t the only one that was scared Philski was too (but we’re both wimps).
If you don’t know what the Slender is about….Slender: The Arrival is the official continuation of the series from the original game creator Mark Hadley, teamed up with the writers behind the Marble Hornets series and the development team at Blue Isle Studios. The Arrival features a brand new storyline, improved visuals and most importantly, survival horror at its best. Buy now and experience the terror.
The game is out now – but they are developing for the Oculus Rift, so that should be exciting! I wonder how PewDiePie would deal with this game!
