■ Message from Game Creative Director Keiichiro Toyama
Four years after its founding, Bokeh Game Studio has completed its first game, Slitterhead, and we’re thrilled to announce its successful release.
At the start of the project, due to the impact of COVID-19, development took place entirely remotely—something we had no prior experience with. Faced with a brand-new project, unfamiliar engines, and new platforms, the team, both veterans and newcomers, encountered numerous challenges. It was a significant undertaking for everyone involved.
Nevertheless, through tireless effort, we have reached the point where we can finally bring this game to you. Alongside our pure joy, I feel a deep sense of relief.
In this game, players assume the role of a mysterious entity called a “Hyoki”—a being without body or memory. As this non-human protagonist interacts with various human characters, the story twists and turns unexpectedly. With each surprising development, even I couldn’t predict where the story would ultimately lead.
Slitterhead is neither a AAA blockbuster nor one of the popular indie horror games currently trending. It’s a truly unique work, unlike any existing title, which has sometimes made it difficult to convey its appeal in previous PR efforts. However, I believe that through its “possess” mechanic, its action-packed battles, and its unfolding narrative, Slitterhead will offer you a completely new experience.
We hope you’ll pick up the game and immerse yourself fully in its unique world.

The bodiless "Hyoki" hunts down the brain-devouring "Slitterheads", lurking in the alleys of a neon-lit city
Set in the densely cluttered streets of "Kowlong," filled with obscurity and chaos, this battle action-adventure game casts players as the "Hyoki," an entity devoid of memory and physical form. His only motive is to eradicate the monstrous beings known as "Slitterheads" crawling around the city, disguising themselves as humans. Roaming the vibrant neon-lit cityscape, players must seek out allies among humans known as "Rarities," infiltrate and track dangerous organizations, and engage in battles harnessing the power of blood. As the suspenseful drama unfolds, delve into the mystery behind Hyoki's existence and the appearance of the Slitterheads.
