The indie team has, since then, been teasing its debut game, and at The Game Awards 2021, they finally unveiled it.Ĭalled Slitterhead, their debut game is a new psychological horror title. Which may mean shapeshifters play a part in Slitterhead too.About a year ago, Keiichiro Toyama – best known for creating beloved franchises such as Silent Hill, Siren, and Gravity Rush – left PlayStation Japan and, together with a bunch of other veteran developers from his former development team, formed Bokeh Game Studio. In a flash, her creature-like head – scales, tentacle tongue and all – retracts, folding neatly back into place, to reform her otherwise normal human face. The Slitterhead trailer ends with an older woman standing on a veranda who’s clearly been infected by the parasites we’ve seen earlier. All of which suggests things turn to shit pretty quickly in-game. In the Slitterhead trailer itself, we see a man seemingly caught off guard by a woman overcome by parasites, and are later shown police scrambling around the streets reacting to a pretty gruesome active crime scene. Ghostwire: Tokyo, the upcoming action-horror game from The Evil Within creators Tango Gameworks, has likewise moved from third to first-person view, therefore it’ll be interesting to see which path Slitterhead goes down. The Silent Hill and Siren series have both historically adopted third-person perspectives, however, horror heavyweight Resident Evil has recently pivoted to first-person fare in Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village.

Again, with such a short burst of cinematic footage, it’s hard to say exactly what shape Slitterhead will take in gameplay terms come final release.
