It looks like Bokeh Game Studio, founded by Keiichiro Toyama, who directed the original Silent Hill and created Siren and Gravity Rush<\/a>, is working on another horror game.<\/p>\n

According to MP1st<\/a>, Bokeh is hiring motion capture performers for its next project, which is seemingly still untitled.<\/p>\n

The casting sheet lists characters including River, Dean, Lyra, Hazel, Becca, Dena, and Emma, plus an eight-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

Descriptions cover mature themes including drug use and trafficking, violence, abuse, grief, and sex work, with several characters tied to creature transformation – all of which sounds surprisingly close to Toyama’s prior game, Slitterhead\u2026 which is interesting, given Slitterhead didn’t exactly set the world alight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

River’s entry cites River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain as visual references, while Lyra’s points to Mia Goth as a tonal reference.<\/p>\n

Bokeh’s debut, Slitterhead, launched in 2024. I bucked the trend with my four out of five star verdict in Eurogamer’s Slitterhead review<\/a>, writing: “Slitterhead is stylish and thrilling and unusual (and really, how can you say no when one particular Slitterhead that looks uncannily like Beetlejuice<\/a>?). How lucky we are that something as singular and unapologetically strange as this exists”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It looks like Bokeh Game Studio, founded by Keiichiro Toyama, who directed the original Silent Hill and created…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":877643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-877642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=877642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/877643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=877642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=877642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=877642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
