Navigate 'The Detective's Case' in Slitterhead with our comprehensive walkthrough. Learn enemy tactics, possession mechanics, and story progression to overcome the horrors of Hong Kong.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game begins with you as a bodiless spirit in Hong Kong, possessing humans to fight Slitterheads, monsters that possess and eat human brains.
  2. 2
    Core gameplay involves melee combat and rapidly switching between possessed bodies to utilize their temporary buffs.
  3. 3
    Chase down and confront Slitterheads, using possessed citizens to your advantage.
  4. 4
    Identify disguised Slitterheads among the populace, though the game's environments and visual cues make the 'sight-jacking' mechanic largely redundant.
  5. 5
    The game features a mission-based structure with dialogue segments and exploration of urban levels, often involving chasing and fighting enemies.
  6. 6
    The story introduces a time loop and then becomes convoluted with shifting allegiances of Slitterheads and parallel universe elements.
  7. 7
    Progressing the plot may require finding optional characters, referred to as 'Rarities,' who possess special abilities. Some of these characters are essential for plot progression despite being presented as optional.
Tips
  • Constantly switch bodies during combat to maintain the buff on newly possessed individuals.
  • Utilize the parry system, but don't rely on it solely; body-switching is key when overwhelmed.
  • Pay attention to visual cues and enemy behaviors to identify disguised Slitterheads.
  • Be prepared for a convoluted narrative that may require backtracking or finding specific optional characters to advance.
  • Embrace the experimental and sometimes janky nature of the game, reminiscent of the PS2 era.
