Tips
  • Do not get stunlocked; if you are being overwhelmed, possess a new body immediately.
  • The tutorial emphasizes rapid body-switching for a reason; it's the core of surviving intense combat.
  • Pay attention to the visual cues that highlight Slitterheads, even though the game often provides a more direct indicator.
  • While the game borrows mechanics like sight-jacking from Siren, rely on the more direct indicators and possession for success in this encounter.
  • The environments can be samey, so actively look for any unique interactive elements within the alleyway.
  • Remember that the humanity in this game is largely inconsequential; focus on the mechanics rather than emotional investment.
