Read details on the game below:
In Possessor(s) you play as Luca, a high-schooler trapped in the ruins of Sanzu City, a sprawling metropolis overrun with otherworldly horrors following an interdimensional catastrophe. Her body broken, Luca strikes a deal with Rhem, a newly freed demon in need of a host. Together, they make a last-ditch effort to survive.
Possessor(s) combines elements of platform fighters and Metroidvanias, offering stylish combat and exploration with a focus on juggling, aerial combos, and improvised weapons like kitchen knives, a guitar, and a computer mouse.
As Luca and Rhem learn to co-exist, they’ll develop new skills to help them navigate a huge, interconnected city while exploring different districts, each with unique challenges and atmosphere. Possessor(s) also explores themes of codependency, loss, and survival as Luca searches for her mother and best friend in the ruins of Sanzu.
A Fractured World
Possessor(s) takes place across the interconnected sprawl of a destroyed mega-city, from collapsed skyscrapers to an abandoned aquarium, all riddled with secrets. Hauntingly beautiful 3D environments form a stunning backdrop over which hand-drawn and animated characters, and mysterious science-fiction horror action take center stage.
A Complex Narrative
Choose multiple paths in an open-ended world structure as you look to uncover the truth behind the catastrophe. Meet a cast of engaging characters, each with their own heart-breaking story to follow in the aftermath of the devastation.
A Precision Engagement
Gameplay is centered around tight, fast-paced platforming with a range of unique movement abilities that extend to its tense, precise combat. Balance ground and air attacks, replete with combos and juggles as you encounter a variety of deadly enemies, and challenging bosses. Find and unlock a wide array of powerful weapons and upgrades to bolster your arsenal and explore previously inaccessible areas.
