Since then, the word-of-mouth stories inspired by Slender Man have spread across the world. The first appearance of Slender Man was immediately popular due to his appearance next to a child and strange captions. Knudson won the 2009 Photoshop competition when he added Slender Man to his portfolio.

Victor Surge, an Eric Knudson alias, improvised when he saw a bulked up, scary image of a figure with a white face. The Slender Man is a fictitious online character created as a meme. I need to briefly touch on the character's back story before I get into the game. Slender Man is the creation of Eric Knudson, who collaborated with the game's development team during the project. Slender: The Arrival was inspired by the classic virtual horror character Slender Man.
