If you're eager to learn more about the game, you can check out some of the developer diaries that have been released from the process so far. Think Junji Ito, and horror manifesting in the real world – you can really see that in action in the trailer attached to this page above.

This influenced me and I think it will show in my next game." "They're on the edge emotionally, while dealing with action or drama.

"You have these regular people driven into irrational situations," he explains.

Toyama has previously said that Bokeh Game Studio's first project will be a horror-orientated title that will be made "in his own style" that is partly inspired by what he refers to as "death games", noting that the theme is prevalent in Japanese manga and that setting them in "brutal worlds" is becoming something of a theme. “We are developing with PC as the lead platform, but we hope to release the game on as many console platforms as possible,” Toyama has noted previously. Slitterhead showed a series of normal looking people turn into horrifying flesh-spider monsters. We've previously heard that the Japanese studio is targeting a release date of sometime in 2023 for this new project. Then there was Slitterhead, a survival horror game from the director of the original Silent Hill. Which may mean shapeshifters play a part in Slitterhead too.It's nice to see the creator going back to his roots Toyama has been out of the horror world for a while (his two most recent big launches were the Gravity Series titles that launched on PS4 and PS Vita). 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.
