This is exactly the issue I expected Slitterhead to face with some reviewers.
“A survival horror game that’s not scary, combined with an action game where the action falls short, isn’t a very good idea for a video game…”
But Slitterhead isn’t a survival horror game, it’s a horror game. In gaming, most horror titles incorporate survival mechanics, so people often assume the two go hand in hand. However, that’s not entirely accurate. Just as there are various types of horror across other media, from movies to books, gaming also has room for horror experiences that don’t focus on survival elements.
