Forget whether or not you can pet the dog; Slitterhead developer Bokeh Studio wants to communicate the fact that possessing dogs is definitely a thing in its upcoming horror title, which slithers onto PS5 and PS4 on 8th October.

Compiled by Gematsu, a trio of gameplay clips has emerged from Pax West, showing off Slitterhead's central possession mechanic. Together, they show off a bunch of exploration and even a few combat encounters. It seems that even animal possession will be on the cards, and we look forward to delving into the minds of the unwary, and wandering Kowlong's streets as a disembodied spirit.

How are you feeling about Slitterhead as we wriggle closer to launch? Will you be picking up this strange and spooky game, which has been quietly percolating these past few years? Let us know in the comments section below.
