RadarPlays - Slender: The Arrival
Don't open the door!
Once upon a time some people on some forum wrote about a creepy guy named Slenderman who ate children or something and then a few people made a video game about it and it was really scary.

We rounded up the people in the office who enjoy fear the least, sat them down in a dark room, and made them play the new game.
