Silent Hill, Slitterhead Creator Begins Work on Another ‘Original’ Game

by

Bokeh Game Studio, the team behind Slitterhead, has begun work on its next game, according to a recent job posting in Japan.

Bokeh Game Studio, the team behind the upcoming horror game Slitterhead and led by Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama, is growing! They’ve started hiring to expand their development team, which currently has 35 people, and are now looking for new talent to work on their next project.

The studio’s main goal is to create truly original work. Their recruiting message is simple: they don’t create things others could. This isn’t about being weird or different for its own sake, but constantly questioning the purpose behind their projects and striving for unique creative solutions that only their team can achieve.

Bokeh Game Studio is looking for passionate individuals who are eager to push their creative boundaries and continue making compelling games.

The developer’s second project is still in its early stages, with the job posting mentioning a lot of experimentation and the possibility of changing direction. But this also means the team will have a significant impact on the game’s development, as their decisions and challenges will directly influence its final form.

It doesn’t seem like this new game is a follow-up to Slitterhead, based on what the game’s creator, Toyama, said previously. Regardless, Bokeh Game Studio is committed to creating unique and original games.

We gave Slitterhead a 7 out of 10 when it came out. In our review, we described it as a captivating first game from Bokeh Game Studios, drawing comparisons to popular titles like Siren, Gravity Rush, and Soul Sacrifice. The game tells a spooky story about a spirit that jumps between bodies, using people to fight a common enemy, though it felt a little unfinished in places.
