This is what the trailer shows: With the Asian setting, the trailer should probably have some fans of the Siren series. In an eerie city with gigantic canyons, there are tons of nasty monsters around, all of which seem to have been human. Sometimes we can observe the mutations ourselves.
Some of the creatures crawl around like oversized insects, while others hide their excesses well behind a normal human appearance. In addition to the action, in which different people fight the monsters – among other things with an interesting “blood weapon”, there is a driving soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka – exactly, the Silent Hill composer.
“Brutal Worlds”
Toyama gives out loud as inspiration vg247.com “Death Games”, a style that has become an established theme in Japanese mangas. The point is that ordinary people are put into “irrational situations” and “brutal worlds”. You are then “emotionally on the brink”, but have to deal with action and drama.
Release and platform: As for the release of Slitterhead, VG247 reports that it was previously announced that the Bokeh Game Studios project is due to appear in 2023. It will initially be developed for the PC, but Toyama hopes that the title will also appear for “as many console platforms as possible”. We should be thrilled.
