Slitterhead: The Street Performer's Plea Walkthrough

Walkthrough

1
The game begins with you as a bodiless spirit in Hong Kong, with amnesia but a strong hatred for Slitterheads, monsters that possess humans and eat brains.
2
Your primary mechanic is possessing humans to fight Slitterheads. Newly possessed characters have a buff, encouraging rapid body-switching.
3
Combat is melee-focused, with an elaborate parry system that can be overwhelmed by multiple enemies.
4
To find disguised Slitterheads, the game uses a sight-jacking mechanic similar to Siren, but environmental sameness and a prominent visual effect often make it redundant.
5
The game features a mission-based structure, alternating between dialogue-heavy exposition and gameplay in urban levels.
6
Gameplay often involves chasing down Slitterheads and fighting them, sometimes with unique weapons like a baseball bat made of frozen blood.
7
The story introduces a time loop and then becomes convoluted, with shifting alliances between Slitterheads and humans, and a parallel universe element.
8
The plot requires finding optional characters with special abilities ('Rarities') to progress, which can halt the game if not completed, despite their often minor impact on the story.

Tips

Constantly switch bodies to utilize the buff on newly possessed characters and avoid being stunlocked.
Don't rely solely on sight-jacking to find Slitterheads; pay attention to the environment and other visual cues.
Be prepared for a convoluted and often nonsensical story, especially regarding the nature of Slitterheads and their intentions.
Prioritize finding the 'Rarities' when prompted, as the game may stall progress until they are located.
Embrace the game's weirdness; it's a core part of the experience, even if it doesn't always translate into effective horror or survival gameplay.
