Slitterhead, the debut game from Bokeh Game Studio led by Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama, released on November 8, 2024. It is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store; the physical edition is exclusive to PS5.

What is Slitterhead?

Slitterhead is a single-player action-adventure set in Kowlong, a densely populated, neon-lit city. You play as Hyoki, a bodiless entity with no memories, hunting Slitterheads: monsters that feed on brains and disguise themselves as humans.

Hyoki can possess people and switch between hosts to travel, infiltrate locations, and fight. Some hosts, called Rarities, have a stronger connection to Hyoki and provide distinctive abilities. The game is Bokeh Game Studio’s debut; Toyama, who leads the studio, is known for his earlier work on Silent Hill. The official descriptions do not identify Slitterhead as a Silent Hill sequel.

When did Slitterhead release?

Slitterhead launched November 8, 2024. The November 8 date in the original announcement is a past release date, not an upcoming launch.

Reception is not uniform. In a review updated November 16, 2024, Meristation described the game as having original ideas while criticizing technical shortcomings and design decisions; that is one reviewer’s assessment, not a universal consensus. Steam displayed 78% positive from 1,148 user reviews when accessed October 8, 2026. That is a changing Steam user-review aggregate, not a critic score.
