Slitterhead Walkthrough: The Musician's Melody Guide

Walkthrough

1
The game's core mechanic involves possessing different human bodies to fight enemies. Newly possessed characters have a temporary buff, encouraging rapid body-switching.
2
Combat is melee-focused hack-and-slash. Enemy attacks can stun-lock you, making parrying important, but the primary strategy is to switch to a new host when overwhelmed.
3
Slitterheads are monsters that possess humans and eat brains. You counter them by possessing humans and fighting them.
4
The game features a 'sight-jacking' mechanic, similar to Siren, to identify disguised Slitterheads, but its effectiveness is limited by samey environments. A visual effect also directly points to Slitterheads.
5
The game has a mission-based structure, alternating between dialogue (often text-dumps) and action in urban levels. Missions typically involve chasing and fighting enemies.
6
The story begins with a clear premise of fighting Slitterheads but becomes convoluted with time loops, shifting alliances between humans and Slitterheads, and parallel universe elements.
7
The plot can halt progress until optional characters, referred to as 'Rarities' with special abilities, are found and unlocked through optional objectives. These characters often have little plot relevance.

Tips

Constantly switch bodies to utilize the possession buff and avoid being overwhelmed in combat.
Pay attention to enemy attack patterns to effectively use the parry system, though body-switching is often a more reliable tactic.
Explore optional objectives to unlock 'Rarities,' but be aware that their necessity for plot progression can be frustrating.
Embrace the game's experimental and weird nature, reminiscent of the PS2 era, to better appreciate its unique mechanics despite its flaws.
