Past the halfway mark of the trailer we see the words “I must eliminate them… All…” as the blue eyes of the mysterious motorcyclist turn red, as if he’s possessed.
Hmm, I wonder who that could be…
Slitterhead Premise
In Slitterhead, players take on the role of Hyoki, an entity that taps into bystanders’ blood to unlock hidden abilities. Hyoki’s powers amplify as he possesses more individuals, gathering memories and enhancing his capabilities.
The story is set in Kowlong, a densely populated, fictional city inspired by Hong Kong’s Kowloon Walled City, infamous for its cramped conditions, crime, and lawlessness. In Slitterhead, Kowlong is a dark, gritty, and eerie backdrop for the game’s horror elements.
The Slitterheads are terrifying, parasitic creatures that terrorize the city of Kowloon. These humanoid entities have grotesque-looking creature heads with human bodies. Hyoki seems to be hell-bent on eliminating every single one of these Slitterheads, by any means necessary.
The wait is almost over. Slitterhead’s haunting landscape, gruesome enemies, and mysterious storyline will surely leave gamers on the edge of their seats. Don’t miss out on this chilling experience when it launches on November 8.
