Slitterhead - Creatures

Gameplay Trailer / Story Trailer

Slitterhead

Keiichiro Toyama will probably be known entirely as the man who created Silent Hill. Everything else will be swallowed up by that one fact, despite all the interesting projects he’s worked on and led. The Siren games took a similar horror slant but with unique gameplay ideas and a harder lean into eldritch horror, while the Gravity Rush games were a refreshing change of pace of heroic adventures that could show what the Vita was able to do. People seemed to only remember that first directorial project when his first independent project with various former Japan Studio devs came to light. Under the name Bokeh Game Studio, founded after feeling there wasn’t really a place for their ideas in Sony’s growing focus on AAA budgets, Toyama and his fellow creatives would end up releasing Slitterhead to confused responses, though starting to slant more positive. Despite all of the advertising promising something new and unique, some came into this expecting another Silent Hill. Instead of that, they got a janky, scantly budgeted ode to the directorial work of Wong Kar-wai, the manga Parasyte, and also a bit of the Siren games if you squint hard enough.
