Bokeh Game Studio, founded by Keiichiro Toyama—who directed the original Gravity Rush”>Gravity Rush, created Siren and is working on another horror game. According to a report by MP1st, Bokeh is hiring motion capture performers for its next project, which remains untitled.
The casting sheet lists characters including River, Dean, Lyra, Hazel, Becca, Dena and Emma, plus an eight-year-old girl. Descriptions cover mature themes such as drug use and trafficking, violence, abuse, grief and sex work, with several characters tied to creature transformation—details that echo Toyama’s prior game, Slitterhead.
River’s entry cites River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain as visual references, while Lyra’s points to Mia Goth as a tonal reference.
Bokeh’s debut title, Slitterhead, launched in 2024. In Eurogamer’s review of the game, our verdict was four out of five stars: “Slitterhead is stylish and thrilling and unusual (and really, how can you say no when one particular Slitterhead that looks uncannily like Beetlejuice?). How lucky we are that something as singular and unapologetically strange as this exists”.
