Bokeh Game Studio co-founder Keiichiro Toyama has spilled a few new details on the company’s debut project, Slitterhead, during an interview with IGN Japan.
According to Toyama-san, Slitterhead will see players battling against mysterious creatures known as Yakushi, which will be able to mimic traits of humans. In addition, he also teased the inclusion of mechanics that haven’t been seen in many video games to date.
I can’t go into a lot of details yet, but I can tell you that this will be an action-oriented adventure game from a third-person perspective. However, the game will include many new mechanics that have not been seen so far in other games, so I think it will result in a unique experience.
The game will have you battling mysterious creatures that can mimic humans, but how can you smoke them out to make them reveal themselves? This will form a major pillar of the adventure and the story. The creatures are named Yakushi, a kind of monster that have their roots in classical theater.

Slitterhead does not currently have a release date.
