How to recruit each character

The supernatural spirit you play in Slitterhead can possess anyone he finds, but special “Rarity” Characters can be recruited due to the unique powers they gain when controlled. Although you can forcibly dominate everyone you meet, their blood is not strong enough to fend off the monsters you must fight. Rarities have strong combat skills that help you fight various horrors.

Slitterhead revolves around possessing random individuals to defend yourself against the many terrifying creatures that chase you. Unlike hide-and-seek horror titles, this game has robust combat mechanics tied to Rarity’s characters. Instead of taking control of a random citizen who will likely die quickly, you can coexist within a Rarity to wield specific abilities and powers tied to those characters.

How to recruit all characters in Slitterhead

Find special everyone in different missions

Slitterhead character Julee Rarity recruited in the Prologue mission

You can recruit Rarities to make them selectable before missions. This gives you a way to start a mission already controlling the powers of the characters you prefer to use. For example, when you obtain Julee Rarity during the game’s prologue, you can use her as a starting character for any quest you embark on in the future.

After recruiting a character, you can explore their unique abilities in a training mission before using them in a real mission. Keep in mind that you can still possess regular people after recruiting Rarities, but their combat prowess pales in comparison to special characters. Here are all the unique characters you can find in Slitterhead and how to recruit them:
