In the game Slitterhead, you control a yellow energy entity that aims to regain a physical form. You traverse the merged cityscape of Kowlong (a blend of Kowloon and Tokyo), which is shrouded in steam and flickering light. As you glide through the air, you eventually descend and occupy a canine body. While some players may already consider this game a strong contender for Game of the Year, it doesn’t take long before you need to switch hosts. Much like a commuter switching trains, you take over a human body. Whether this transition is an improvement or not is questionable. As you observe your new host’s thoughts, you remark, “This one… can… think.” After all, life can be quite challenging!
