As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for narrative-driven action-adventure games, the announcement of Slitterhead‘s demo release has sent a thrill down my spine. Having grown up on the neon-lit streets of cyberpunk cities in classic titles, the setting of Kowlong instantly resonated with me. The teaser videos and trailers have built an intriguing atmosphere that I can’t wait to immerse myself in.

The game now offers compatibility with PlayStation 5 Pro, boasting visual upgrades, higher resolutions, enhanced visual effects, and more. Players are encouraged to explore the streets of Kowloon as the ethereal character Hyoki, who can inhabit both human and animal bodies to move around and participate in intense, gory combat, all while untangling the enigma of the Slitterheads.

Bokeh Game Studio describes the game as follows:

The fast-paced action-adventure game is set amidst the crowded, mysterious streets of ‘Kowlong.’ Players step into the role of ‘Hyoki,’ a memoryless and formless entity. His sole purpose? To eliminate the horrifying creatures called ‘Slitterheads’ that have infiltrated the city by disguising themselves as humans.

Traversing through the bustling, neon-illuminated city, players will need to find allies called “Rarities” among humans, infiltrate harmful groups, and participate in conflicts using the force of blood. As the gripping narrative unfolds, unravel the enigma surrounding Hyoki’s emergence and the sudden appearance of the Slitterheads.

According to the game’s explanation, it appears that your progress, the level of difficulty, and additional features could be carried over when you upgrade to the complete version.

Slitterhead, which was initially unveiled at The Game Awards in 2021, hit the shelves earlier this year following much anticipation. Since its announcement, the developers have kept fans engaged with a string of teaser trailers and other content. To mark the demo’s launch, Bokeh Game Studio is providing a temporary discount of 30% on the PC version’s $49.99 retail price.
