A brand new demo for the horror game Slitterhead has just hit the PlayStation Store, available for both PS5 and PS4 users without needing a PS Plus Premium subscription. Developed by Keiichiro Toyama, the mind behind hits like Silent Hill and Gravity Rush, Slitterhead has stirred up some mixed reactions among critics. Nonetheless, fans are calling it one of the hidden gems of 2024.
The demo, which is now accessible, offers a sneak peek into the game, but details on the amount of content provided remain a mystery. However, players will be pleased to know that Bokeh Game Studio has made it possible for save data to carry over, allowing you to adjust difficulty settings now and continue with those preferences if you decide to buy the full version later on.
If you’ve been thinking about diving into the eerie world of Slitterhead, now might be a great time to do so. The game is part of the latest sale on the PS Store, with a 30% discount slashing the price to $34.99. This offer lasts until January 7, 2025, after which the price will rise back to the usual $49.99.
Despite this, Bokeh Game Studio was not entirely happy with the feedback the game received. They caused quite a stir with a snarky remark on social media after an article suggested that studio closures might open doors for smaller, more inventive projects.
The studio took to X, responding to the article with a tongue-in-cheek comment: “How about starting off by giving us a better rating?” This was perceived by many as an attempt to sway the review process. Following the backlash, the tweet has since been removed.
