Navigate the challenges of The Mysterious Package in Slitterhead. This guide provides essential tips and strategies to overcome obstacles and progress through the game.
Walkthrough
- 1The game's premise involves a bodiless spirit in Hong Kong who must fight Slitterheads, monsters that possess humans and eat brains. You counter this by possessing humans yourself.
- 2Combat is primarily melee hack-and-slash. Initially, enemy attacks can be overwhelming, leading to stunlocks.
- 3A key mechanic is rapid body-switching. Possessing a new body grants a buff, and switching frequently is crucial for success.
- 4The game features a chase mechanic where you pursue Slitterheads before confronting them.
- 5Identifying disguised Slitterheads involves a sight-jacking mechanic similar to Siren, but environmental sameness and a prominent visual effect make it largely redundant.
- 6The game has a mission-based structure alternating between dialogue (often text-dumps) and gameplay in urban levels.
- 7Gameplay often involves chasing enemies or fighting Slitterhead variants.
- 8The story introduces a time loop element and then becomes convoluted, with shifting alliances of Slitterheads and parallel universe plot points.
- 9The plot can halt progression until optional characters (Rarities) are found, despite their minimal impact on the story.
Tips
- Constantly switch bodies to utilize the buff granted to newly possessed individuals.
- Utilize the parry system, though be aware it's less effective against multiple attackers.
- Pay attention to the visual cues that highlight Slitterheads, as the sight-jacking mechanic is often unnecessary.
- Be prepared for a convoluted story that may require replaying missions or finding optional characters to progress.
- Embrace the PS2-era experimental spirit, but be aware of the janky design choices and visual presentation.
