Learn how to navigate the 'First Encounter' in Slitterhead with our comprehensive walkthrough. Discover tips, strategies, and key details to overcome this early challenge.

Walkthrough:

  1. The game begins with you as a disembodied spirit in Hong Kong, tasked with fighting Slitterheads – monsters that possess humans and eat brains.
  2. Your primary mechanic is possessing humans to fight. Newly possessed characters have a combat buff, encouraging rapid body-switching.
  3. Combat is melee-focused. While initially clunky with enemy stunlocks, mastering the possession mechanic and using environmental advantages is key.
  4. Chase down Slitterheads as they flee, using your possession ability to ambush them.
  5. Identify disguised Slitterheads among civilians. While a Siren-like sight-jacking mechanic exists, environmental clues and visual effects often make it redundant.
  6. The game features a mission-based structure with dialogue sections and urban exploration levels. Missions often involve chasing and fighting enemies.
  7. The story introduces a time loop and then becomes convoluted with shifting alliances of Slitterheads and parallel universe elements.
  8. Unlockable
