Bokeh Game Studio had a playable demo for its upcoming third-person game, Slitterhead, at PAX West 2024. And, thankfully, Gematsu has shared three videos from it. These videos will give you your first proper look at the game. Moreover, they pack around 24 minutes of new gameplay footage from it. So, that will please most of those who are looking forward to it.
Slitterhead is set in the crowded and chaotic streets of “Kowlong.” In the game, players will take on the role of “Hyoki,” a mysterious being with no memory or physical body. Hyoki’s mission is simple: to hunt down and destroy the terrifying “Slitterheads”. But what are Slitterheads? Well, Slitterheads are basically monsters that hide among the city’s people by disguising themselves as humans.
Players will have to seek out allies among humans known as “Rarities” while roaming the game’s vibrant neon-lit cityscape. They’ll have to infiltrate and track dangerous organizations, and engage in battles harnessing the power of blood. Moreover, players will delve into the mystery behind Hyoki’s existence and the appearance of the Slitterheads.
Without a physical body, Hyoki has the power to take control of human bodies whenever he wants. He can use this ability to turn people into his pawns, sneak past barriers, and pretend to be certain people to get into dangerous places. By quickly switching between bodies, he can also move through the city very fast.
Though human bodies are weak, Hyoki can use their life force to turn blood into weapons to fight the fierce Slitterheads. Hyoki can also possess “Rarities”. These are special humans who can sync well with him. This will allow him to perform stronger attacks and use different abilities.
Slitterhead will be coming out on PC on November 8th, and you can find its PC system requirements here.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
