Slitterheads Brand of Body Horror Goes Both Ways

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of horror and action gaming under my belt, I am beyond excited for the release of “Slitterhead”. The unique blend of supernatural body horror and fast-paced action is right up my alley, and it seems Bokeh Game Studio has truly outdone themselves in terms of enemy design.


In a thrilling action-filled environment, Slitterhead emphasizes chilling supernatural body horror as its main focus. Whether the continuous fight sequences could potentially lessen Slitterhead‘s terrifying impact, depending on whether players can effortlessly overpower and eliminate Slitterheads or not, is up for debate. However, Bokeh Game Studio has a chance to make a powerful entrance with their first game, and they might want to push the boundaries in their artistic choices without any reservations.

It appears that Slitterheads aren’t limited by any physical form, allowing them to be incredibly inventive in design. The main antagonists of Slitterhead, as suggested by their name, are terrifyingly designed with elements of body horror reminiscent of The Thing. However, the body horror isn’t just present in the enemies; it also permeates the player character who is frequently switching hosts and exploring a spectral possession theme that delves deep into the uncanny.

Slitterhead’s Enemy Designs Will Likely Be a Primary Talking Point and For Good Reason

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that Slitterhead shares some striking similarities with Ghostwire: Tokyo, even though one is rooted in Chinese folklore and the other in Japanese. It’s not too hard to spot where their visual aesthetics overlap. Just like Ghostwire: Tokyo, the success or failure of Slitterhead might hinge entirely on its enemy design. The uniqueness and artistic allure of these adversaries could make or break the game.

It’s fascinating how Slitterheads can disguise themselves as humans until players reveal their true form, and watching them twist and metamorphose into a chilling beastly figure promises to keep you hooked throughout the game Slitterhead. Slitterheads break free from conventional humanoid body horror, but the terror of witnessing an ordinary human’s body undergoing drastic transformations into something otherworldly should not be overlooked.

In this location, Slitterhead will have the freedom to showcase its artistic creativity. It doesn’t necessarily mean that every adversary will be terrifying enough to haunt players’ dreams, but it would be ideal if they consistently push the boundaries of imagination when it comes to the extent of their body horror elements. For instance, a woman with a wide-open mouth or a shadow of an elongated skeleton with human hair on a nearby wall could be examples of this creative body horror.

Slitterhead Can’t Deny That Hyoki’s Means of Possession is Body Horror All the Same

As a gamer, I’ve found something intriguing about Slitterhead – he doesn’t just reserve the gruesome body horror for enemies. In fact, it seeps into our playable character, Hyoki, too. Now, this might not have any immediate impact on the story, but it certainly adds a layer of unease to the gameplay experience.

From the player’s viewpoint, the concept of possession serves as an engaging perspective, especially when it comes to portraying intense action and horror elements. This angle makes literal possession seem less harsh and helps to categorize it. For instance, considering that possession is the key to defeating Slitterheads, it can appear as a required evil. Furthermore, if the controversial body horror aspects weren’t already pushing boundaries on the protagonist’s character, players can gather and utilize their hosts’ blood as lethal weapons, adding another layer of gore to the experience.
