Slitterhead

Slitterhead is a battle action-adventure game set in Kowlong, a densely crowded city of neon-lit streets, obscurity and chaos. You play as Hyoki, an entity with no memories or physical form whose aim is to eradicate the Slitterheads: monstrous beings that disguise themselves as humans.

Hunt in Kowlong

You roam the city to find human allies known as Rarities, infiltrate and track dangerous organizations, and hunt Slitterheads hiding in human society. As the story unfolds, you investigate Hyoki’s existence and the appearance of the monsters.

Possess human hosts

Hyoki can possess and control people, using their bodies as hosts. You can switch between hosts to slip through barriers, take on specific people’s identities and infiltrate dangerous places and organizations. Switching hosts rapidly also lets Hyoki travel through the city at high speed.

Fight with blood

Human bodies are fragile, but Hyoki can burn their life force and turn blood into weapons against the Slitterheads. Even when critically wounded, you can keep fighting by switching hosts. Possessing Rarities—people with a high degree of synchronization with Hyoki—unlocks more powerful attacks and various abilities. Your cooperation with these allies is also key to uncovering Kowlong’s mysteries.
