Meet Doni, Tri, and Yin Yue.Bokeh Game Studio has released new information and screenshots for action adventure game Slitterhead introducing characters Doni, Tri, and Yin Yue, more combat skills, and the “Echoes of Love Society” stage.
Get the details below.
■ Characters
Doni
An ordinary high school student who is far from cheerful, but not exactly lonely either. He grew up in a relatively wealthy family and maintains a certain distance with friends and teachers. He often visits the arcade in the bustling shopping district.
Tri
A housekeeper who came to Kowlong for work from abroad. She excels at all household chores, especially cooking. With keen intuition, she claims to have a talent for noticing subtle discrepancies in people’s behavior, allowing her to learn hidden secrets.
Yin Yue
One of the leaders of the “Echoes of Love Society.” He oversees the members in place of the “Master,” who is ill and unable to move around. He is held in high respect within the organization, while also being a master of martial arts.
■ Combat
Fatal Lance (Doni Active Skill)
Forms a spear of blood that can pierce any foe. Hold the Skill button to charge its power.
Revenge Guard (Doni Active Skill)
While holding down and enduring enemy attacks, unleashes accumulated damage as a shockwave.
Curse Resist (Doni Common Skill)
Doni’s Common Skill. When activated, dispels all negative effects, and for a set amount of time negates all new negative effects.
Sentry Thorns (Tri Active Skill)
Consumes blood to create a shrub-like object. It will automatically attack nearby enemies, drawing their attention.
Bloody Knuckles (Tri Active Skill)
During skill effect, causes attacked enemies to bleed. Also has an effect of more easily stunning enemies.
Crimson Chains (Tri Common Skill)
Binds oneself to an enemy with chains of blood, reducing enemy movement speed for a set time.
Slitterhead Traces
A Slitterhead mimicking a human can be unmasked by spraying blood on them. Hyoki’s blood is poisonous to the Slitterheads.
Pursuit Marker and Traces
An unmasked Slitterhead may try to flee. Do not let them escape. Chase them down, attack, and kill them. If they get too far away, use possession to close the distance.
Blood Jump
Allows player to launch quickly into the air, as well as attack. A marker will display on locations that can be used as footholds. Keep in mind the marker may be obscured if there is an obstacle in the way.
Blood Recovery
Blood can be absorbed from blood pools to restore Blood Level (HP). These pools are generated when humans or Slitterheads take damage.
Reviving a Dying Character
A character who collapses due to blood loss will be in a near-death state and can be saved if they have not died yet. To revive them, get close and hold the interaction button. They will have a very low Blood Level (HP) after revival, so caution is required.
Severed Arm
Sometimes when hit by an enemy, an arm may be severed. The severed arm can be retrieved. After a set amount of time passes, blood can be consumed to restore it.
Fighting with an Ordinary Human Body
Compared to Rarities with powerful skills, ordinary humans possess limited stamina and attack power, making them incredibly vulnerable in combat. However, it is also difficult to defeat the Slitterheads with just a single Rarity, so in battle it becomes crucial to strategically possess as many humans who are present. Because ordinary human bodies are frail, they can escape danger by possessing another human when in critical situations. Additionally, each character has their own unique active skills, which ordinary humans also possess (all ordinary humans share the same skills).
Blood Popper
Throws a bomb made of coagulated blood. It explodes if it hits something, spraying countless needles of blood in an area.
War Cry
This skill draws the attention of nearby enemies. Switch to a different body after drawing attention to catch enemies off guard or buy time to heal.
■ Stage
Echoes of Love Society
The headquarters of this newly founded organization, constructed in the mountains to evade attention. Its members consist undocumented immigrants as well as financially disadvantaged individuals. They have gathered under the leadership of its “Master” to live together in a communal setting.
Slitterhead is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on November 8. Read more about the game here and here.
