Our take on Demons Happened
The defining mechanic is possession: enemies become both targets and tools, with their abilities used to clear each combat puzzle.
What is Demons Happened?
Demons Happened is a top-down action-puzzle game where a ghost takes control of foes and turns their abilities against obstacles.
Brief encounters call for attack planning, evasion and linking possessions; a missed move can lead to an improvised recovery. Eight enemy types offer distinct powers, including bullets that bounce and the ability to pause time. The game has more than 100 short stages blending combat, puzzles and dodging. Collectibles add optional challenges, and the story can end in either of two ways. Its central character is a disaffected spirit trying to get his television working again.
