slitterhead characters heroes julee alex sh horror game pc ps4 ps5 xbox bokeh

In this article, we will get acquainted with all playable characters from the game "SLITTERHEAD" - a new project from the creators of Silent Hill and Forbidden Siren.

And also I will explain the psychological symbolism of the "blood weapon" that each character uses.

There are no spoilers in the article. But if you want to start playing the game without knowing anything about the characters at all, then it would be better not to read this article yet.

HYOKI

Our main character is a strange entity that looks like a flying yellow spirit and is able to possess the bodies of different people.

This entity does not remember anything about itself and does not know who it really is. But gradually it will find fragments of its "lost memories" scattered around the city.

It also has another mysterious ability: having possessed some people, it can materialize "blood weapons", which are the embodiment of various images from the human subconscious.

JULEE

Julee lived an ordinary life, worked in a local department store, and dreamed of becoming an actress in the theater.

But one day her quiet life was destroyed when the girl was drawn into a confrontation between a strange flying spirit and bloodthirsty brain-eating monsters.

Now the spirit has possessed Julee's body and uses her to fight the "slitterheads". But she is afraid. She is afraid that she can be killed at any moment. And that innocent people can die because of her.

Mask

Julee wears a red mask to hide her face from the monsters. This is a theatrical mask that symbolizes the mythical creature "Qilin" from Chinese folklore.

Weapon

When Julee is possessed, long red blades emerge from her fingers. This is a reflection of the memories of how she painted her nails red before performing a role on the theater stage.

ALEX

During the day, Alex works as a doctor in a small clinic with his assistant, a nurse named Lisa.

But at night, he goes hunting. He takes a shotgun, gets on a motorcycle, and rides around the city in search of monsters.

Alex is obsessed with the idea of killing slitterheads. He must kill them all, at any cost. And he has his own reasons.

Weapon

Alex's main weapon is a huge blade - the manifestation of the doctor's memories of the scalpel he used during surgeries. He also has a double-barreled shotgun.

Mask

A black motorcycle helmet.

ANITA

Anita works as a dancer at the "Moon Flower" nightclub. And also as a prostitute.

She is a frivolous woman and does not see anything reprehensible in her lifestyle. She likes to drive men crazy and tease virgin schoolboys.

But deep down, she is a very lonely person. Her only close friend is the brothel-keeper Michelle, who helped Anita during the difficult moments of her life.

Mask

Anita likes to wear a medical mask to hide her face. But she also has other ways to hide her true identity.

Weapon

As a weapon, Anita uses a weird-looking long stick. This is the embodiment of the mascara brush that the girl used every day for her makeup.

EDO

Many years ago, Edo was a famous boxer. Then his life went downhill - and he became a homeless tramp.

Now he lives on the streets and drinks every day. But he has already gotten used to it and even enjoys such a life.

When Hyoki possesses his body, Edo's forgotten boxing skills awaken, giving him the ability to beat any monster to death with his bare hands.

Weapon

During the possession, bloody red gloves appear on Edo's hands - the embodiment of memories of his old boxing gloves. It greatly increases the force of his punches.

Mask

Edo puts a paper bag on his head so that the monsters cannot see his face.

DONI

An ordinary Hong Kong schoolboy who lived a quiet life, prepared for exams, and loved to collect CDs with British rock music.

One day, Doni was almost killed by monsters. But a few moments before the imminent death, Hyoki entered his body - and this gave the boy a chance for a second life.

Weapon

Doni fights monsters with a huge spear - it symbolizes the pencil that he carried with him to school every day.

Mask

As a mask, the boy uses a track jacket tied around his head.

TRI UTAMI

A female immigrant who recently arrived in Hong Kong. She loves cooking and tried to get a job as a housekeeper.

Eventually, she was taken in by a local religious organization, "Echoes of Love".

Weapon

During the fight, something like gloves appears on the woman's hands - a reflection of the memories of her favorite kitchen mittens. She is not very good at fighting monsters, but she has many useful skills for support in battle.

BLAKE

One of the members of a special unit created by the Hong Kong government to fight slitterhead monsters and the mysterious "Target F".

Blake is investigating a chain of strange murders and trying to understand what is really happening in the city.

Mask

Blake has a quite weird sense of humor: he likes to wear a creepy clown mask.

Weapon

When Blake is possessed, long sharp spikes grow from his hands. They symbolize a metal marlinspike. Many years ago, this thing saved Blake's life, but it is connected with horrifying and traumatic memories.

BETTY

A mysterious old lady who came to Hong Kong from England.

In ordinary life, she is very weak and even walks with difficulty. But when Hyoki possesses her body, the old woman suddenly gains devilish power and becomes one of the most formidable characters in the entire game.

The old lady fights with a long cane - this is the cane of her late husband, whom she loved very much. She can also use the power of her mind to materialize huge spikes, which suddenly jump out from under the ground and pierce any monster.

Mask

Betty wears a large old-fashioned hat and ties a purple scarf around her face.

Ordinary Citizens

In addition to the main characters, we can also possess the bodies of many other random residents of the city.

You can meet about 100 such additional characters during the game.

But they do not play an important role in the story. And in battles against monsters, they are noticeably weaker than the main characters (because they do not have such a high level of psychological synchronization with Hyoki).
