Our take on Possessor(s)
The store presentation gives equal weight to combat, exploration, and narrative, but the playable structure is described most concretely through platforming, enemy encounters, bosses, and unlockable equipment. The story’s multiple paths and character arcs are presented as discovery goals rather than detailed systems.
What is Possessor(s)?
Play as Luca and Rhem, two characters sharing one host, while exploring a quarantined mega-city damaged by an interdimensional catastrophe.
The side-scrolling action combines platforming with combat influenced by platform fighters, including ground and aerial attacks, combos, juggles, movement abilities, deadly enemies, and bosses. The city connects areas such as collapsed skyscrapers and an abandoned aquarium, with secrets and routes to uncover. An open-ended structure allows multiple paths through the aftermath of the disaster while characters reveal stories connected to the catastrophe. Weapons and upgrades can be found and unlocked, expanding the arsenal and opening access to previously unreachable areas. The setting combines three-dimensional environments with hand-drawn, animated characters and science-fiction horror elements.
