A fancy new games was announced at the Devolver Direct, Possessor(s).
This is the new game from the indie developer Heart Machine, famous for Hyper Light Drifter and Solar Ash. The only problem, you will have to wait for it to hit PC and consoles in 2025.
Possessor(s) promises to be a fast-paced action side scroller with combat inspired by platform fighters. It will tell a story told through dangerous characters, set in a deep interconnected world ripe for exploration.
Play as Luca, the host, and Rehm, her less-than-cooperative counterpart, as they explore a quarantined city ripped apart and flooded by an interdimensional catastrophe. Their only hope of survival is by learning to co-exist.
Intrigued? I sure am.
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 sci-fi horror action take center stage.
