Bokeh Game Studio, led by the renowned game developer Keiichiro Toyama, has revealed new information about their upcoming horror action-adventure game, Slitterhead. The game features unique characters, skills, and stages that contribute to the overall storyline.

Characters in Slitterhead include humans with a strong synchronization with Hyoki, known as Rarities. Two of these characters, Julee and Alex, have been introduced. Julee, the first Rarity, was saved by Hyoki and now wields deadly blood claws to eliminate Slitterheads. Alex, also known as the "Hunter," is a skilled surgeon who hunts Slitterheads in the shadows and conceals his identity.

Slitterhead has various skills that players can use during combat. Rarity skills can unleash powerful moves, while some skills provide advantageous effects. Active skills are assigned to characters and can be used by depleting the blood level or using spirit power. Some active skills can be carried over and used even when possessing ordinary human beings, becoming "Common Skills."

Julee's skills include "Revive All," which recovers her blood level and heals surrounding humans, and "Sonic Claws," which generates a shockwave to eliminate enemies. Alex's skills include "Blood Ripper," which draws enemies and civilians towards its center, and "Bloody Blast," which fires bullets of blood from a shotgun.

Players can collect Skill Tokens throughout the game to enhance various skills of each Rarity, allowing them to strengthen the Rarities before taking on missions. The game also features a "Possession Mode," which allows players to calmly choose a possession target and scout their surroundings.

Slitterhead's stage, Kowlong Slums, is once known as an ungoverned wasteland beyond the reach of law. The gigantic slum is now slated for demolition, leading to the forced eviction of its residents. However, many refuse to leave, and Hyoki must eliminate them.

Slitterhead will be released on Nov. 8 for PS4™, PS5™, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Epic Game Store and Steam. The game will be available digitally for $49.99, and a physical PS5™ Day 1 Edition will
