Slitterhead, developed by Keiichiro Toyama's Bokeh Game Studio, is set to release this November as a horror action adventure game. Blending elements from classic horror titles like Silent Hill and Siren, Slitterhead introduces a unique gameplay mechanic where players can possess and control multiple characters. The game features a melee combat system and is set in a fictional Asian city during the 1990s, drawing inspiration from Japanese comics and Hong Kong cinema of the time. Toyama’s goal was to create an action-focused horror game that appeals to fans of modern action titles while keeping the essence of horror alive. Slitterhead will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Why does Slitterhead focus on melee combat rather than traditional horror gameplay?

Keiichiro Toyama wanted to make Slitterhead accessible to players who enjoy modern action games. By incorporating a melee combat system, the game aims to provide an engaging and familiar gameplay experience while maintaining its horror roots.

Slitterhead is the first game from Bokeh Game Studio, founded by Keiichiro Toyama, who is well-known for his work on iconic horror games like Silent Hill and Siren. The game features a culturally rich setting inspired by Asian cities during the 1990s, with detailed environments and character designs.
