Get the details below.
■ Symbols
Anita
Working in a massage parlor run by the criminal organization “Golden Qilin”, Anita was always a bit of an outsider among her peers. Although he was always seen as a bit of an outlier among his peers, his cool demeanor has recently caused suspicion among the women around him.
Michelle
The manager of the “Ay Cicek” nightclub, who secretly controls the massage parlor. Known for his caring nature, he is highly respected by the women under his care. Recently, he became worried about Anita, whose behavior became increasingly suspicious …
Edo
Experiencing homelessness and living day after day on the noisy streets of Kowloon, his only companion is a dog. Once a part of the glamorous world of show business, she does not want to reveal how she lost it all.
■ Battle
Blood Weapon
The host's blood can be consumed to create a 'Blood Weapon' which is used by repeatedly pressing the attack button for a series of consecutive attacks. When positioned with a weapon, the player will be able to block most of the enemy's attacks, allowing them to follow up with a powerful counterattack. However, blocking too many times will cause the weapon to break and cause the player to lose a small amount of health each time.
Edo Skills
— Deflect All (Active Skill)
Automatically deflects all attacks that can be ignited. Only effective when ready and focused on the enemy.
-Angel Step (Active Skill)
Escape technique combined with movement. The player can attack during the angel step, making combo attacks possible. The player can move to the side and slide behind him while focusing on the enemy.
– Burning Edge (common skill)
Extremely reduces the durability of the Blood Weapon in exchange for greatly increased attack power for a short period of time.
Battle Basics: Possession
By “possessing” another host and jumping from one body to another, Hyoki can escape the danger itself. The human body is weak and is easily attacked by enemies or takes enough damage. Use possession to dash away when both guarding and escaping are difficult, and don't hesitate to discard corpses when they're no longer useful. Even Rarities have a hard time defeating enemies on their own, so use the people in the area aggressively.
Burn and run
Enemy attacks can be deflected and neutralized with Deflect – The guide will point the direction just before the enemy attacks. While in a defensive position (guard), if the camera is moved in that direction when the guide is lit, it will activate. When Deflect is successful, it will throw the enemy off balance and allow a counter attack, as well as restoring the Blood Weapon's durability. Unguided attacks cannot be guided. Use evasion or possession to deal with them.
Blood time
Successfully completing consecutive defects will activate Blood Time. Time is slowed down during Blood Time, allowing you to hit the enemy with attacks. If you use possession during Blood Time, the time limit is extended and, if used skillfully, allows you to immediately turn the tide in your favor.
Breaks
Mission-based gameplay that holds the key to the story, and conversations during “Mothers' Tales.” Players can progress through the game by selecting missions, choosing two Rarities to accompany them each time.
The core gameplay revolves around tracking down and defeating the Slitterheads hidden in each area.
There are a variety of missions, some heavily combat-focused and others requiring the player to sneak around the stage.
The order of missions and combinations of characters are generally up to the player's choice, allowing them to consider which Rarities / Abilities they want to strategically use in the mission.
After completing the quest, players will be taken to the Eligibility screen, where they can engage in conversations with Rares, upgrade their skills, change costumes, and more.
■ Stage
Mong Tsui
Each mission contains unique stages with different scenarios, including open cities that players can freely explore, as well as buildings where they must stealthily evade surveillance. This time we will be introduced to “Mong Tsui”, an area where not only the Slitterheads disguised as humans, but even the commoners tend to be suspicious.
Spread out in the heart of Kowloon, this vibrant district is also known as the 'Sleepless Zone'. While dazzling neon signs line the crowded streets, the shadows are filled with criminal organizations and brothel rings, making it a dangerous area perceived as the epitome of chaos and disorder.
I have to eliminate them… EVERYTHING… Set in the densely cluttered streets of Kowlong, filled with darkness and chaos, this action-adventure game casts players as 'Hyoki', a creature devoid of memory and physical form. His only goal is to destroy the monstrous creatures known as Slitterheads, who masquerade as humans and crawl around the city. Traversing a vibrant neon-lit cityscape, Hyoki must seek allies among people known as “Rarities”, infiltrate and track dangerous organizations, and participate in battles using the power of blood. Unravel the mystery behind Hyoki's existence and the appearance of the Slitterheads as the sensitive drama unfolds.
