Players have access to a wide selection of tools & gadgets that can be used both offensively & defensively! Plus, there are plenty of weapons & upgrades that can be used for increasing your chances of survival. Gameplay focuses on combat and puzzle solving - allowing players to utilize traps & ammo for taking out enemies or solving environmental puzzles for unlocking new areas. Set in the fictional Beacon Mental Hospital, players must take on the role of Sebastian Castellanos & fight their way through grotesque monsters & twisted puzzles. Which may mean shapeshifters play a part in Slitterhead too.The Evil Within is a horror survival-action game that puts players in an unforgiving world filled with terrifying enemies. 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.
