The Photographer's Assignment — Slitterhead Walkthrough

Begin in contemporary Hong Kong as a bodiless spirit. Your primary objective is to combat Slitterheads, monsters that possess humans and consume their brains.

Utilize the possession mechanic to take control of human bodies. Newly possessed individuals gain a temporary buff, which is crucial for combat effectiveness.

Engage in melee combat. Be aware of enemy attacks that can stun-lock you. Employ the parry system when possible, but prioritize rapid body-switching to gain an advantage.

Chase down and confront Slitterheads. They will attempt to flee, so anticipate their movements and possess individuals strategically to intercept them.

Identify disguised Slitterheads among the citizenry. While the game offers a 'sight-jacking' mechanic similar to Siren, the repetitive environments and clear visual cues often make it unnecessary. A prominent visual effect will highlight the Slitterhead.

The game features a mission-based structure. Alternate between narrative segments, which often involve text-heavy exposition, and exploration of urban levels.

Expect to perform similar tasks repeatedly, such as chasing down targets and fighting Slitterheads.

The story introduces a time loop element and later explores the idea of Slitterheads coexisting with humanity, leading to a complex and often confusing narrative with plot twists and parallel universe elements.

Be aware that the plot may halt progression until optional characters, referred to as 'Rarities,' are found and unlocked. These characters possess unique, upgradable superpowers.

Despite the horror genre, the game is noted for its lack of genuine scares, though it contains gore and conceptually disturbing themes. Spawning civilians for possession during combat is a common occurrence.
