Update: Slitterhead's release date and gameplay trailer have now officially debuted as part of the Summer Games Fest.
The trailer from Bokeh Game Studio showed body-hopping and taking control of multiple people, running through a dense cityscape, and third-person action combat. Slitterhead continues to look the absolute business with nightmarish creatures, a murder mystery that needs solving, and a dog you can possess.
For the gameplay, though, we now know we'll be able to transfer our consciousness across multiple people in Slitterhead, becoming everyday citizens, and more battle-hardened individuals capable of fighting back against the monster we've previously seen in Bokeh's game.
There's a bit where a character leaps off a big high-rise building, but right before hitting the ground, they transfer to another character, strolling along the pavement. This character seemingly couldn't fight back against the monsters, but two characters could: one with some sort of claws, and another with a shotgun and what looked like a sword.
It also looks like we'll be playing a fair bit of Slitterhead as a cop trying to piece together a mystery, and in combat, it looks like they can whip out a minigun to mow monsters down. There are a lot of supernatural elements at work here, predictably for a game with creatures like these, including an ability to lock creatures in place, and another that fashions a spear out of what looks like blood.
Oh yeah, and transferring consciousness isn't limited to humans - you can play as a dog, too.
