Prepare for a descent into a nightmarish world of horror and mystery with Slitterhead on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

Bokeh Game Studio, led by the visionary Keiichiro Toyama, the creator of the iconic Silent Hill series, is unleashing Slitterhead upon the world.

Unveiling the Horrors of Kowlong

Driven by an unwavering resolve to eradicate the monstrous “Slitterheads” that plague the city, Hyoki must navigate the chaos and uncover the truth behind his existence and the origins of these terrifying creatures.

Possession and Blood-Fueled Combat

Hyoki’s unique ability to possess and control human bodies allows for dynamic and high-speed traversal through the city. By inhabiting different hosts, Hyoki can slip through barriers, infiltrate dangerous organisations, and even engage in thrilling combat using the power of blood.

  • Ally with Rarities: Seek out and cooperate with “Rarities,” humans who share a special connection with Hyoki, to unlock powerful abilities and uncover the city’s secrets.
  • Atmospheric Setting: Immerse yourself in the gritty and chaotic world of Kowlong, brought to life with stunning visuals and a haunting soundtrack.

A Masterpiece of Horror and Action?

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
