The possessor (s) is a lateral action-like turmoil at a quick rhythm that mixes the platform-combatant-combatant gameplay with desperate and high issues. Luca must master the movement of fluids, the air juggles and the demonic powers of Rhem to survive in vicious melee combat with the monsters of the city of Sanzu.
Wasteland
During its construction, the city of Sanzu was supposed to be the future – an autonomous utopia where people could work, live and raise their children to build a better world … Work for the world megacorp agradyne.
But three years ago, something escaped the deepest laboratories in Agradyne. And with it came a flood of horrors: demons seeking human host bodies to have. Many of them have lost control and twisted in grotesque and mutated animals.
Agradyne abandoned Sanzu, sealing his survivors in an infernal labyrinth of abandoned skyscrapers.
The monsters we do
Luca wakes up in the ruins of Sanzu. Before the disaster, she was a lonely teenager who grew up in this corporate city. Going to a high school led by a technological company seemed completely normal to him. Now, the only thing that keeps her alive is Rhem, a powerful and bitter demon who has escaped the claws of Agradyne. Rhem agreed to own Luca to save their two lives. But all that Rhem wants is to go home, so Luca promised to help.
While Luca and Rhem are looking for answers, they learn what it means to take and lose control. They witness the troubles and tragic pairs of humans and demons, each reflecting the way people can bond, manipulate and break.
They travel attached together on a trip that will force Luca to face the horrible truths hiding behind the friendly face of his city.
Gameplay characteristics and systems
Luca's arsenal of improvised melee weapons allows him to explore a variety of combat styles. It starts with simple kitchen knives, but can also beat demons with a computer mouse, a hockey stick … or even a guitar!
Luca's faithful kitchen knives are clear and fast, allowing him to get closer and quickly cut the demons before moving away from the danger.
If she maintains the pressure, she can argue them, making them vulnerable. Directional damage juggile juggling enemies into the air … and will extend their suffering.
But what should Luca do if a demon slides through his reach? She can channel Rhem power to whip enemies and drag them to her.
The whip has many other uses, in particular by swinging the world, moving heavy objects or propeling itself towards larger and more dangerous demons.
Enemies and combat meetings
Demons can have anything – people, pots in pots, automatic distributors or even a Multifunction Agradyne LC65 serial printer scan! Luca has to walk carefully because enemies are everywhere and hidden in sight. To bring Rhem back home, she will have to face the most powerful demons of each district of Sanzu.
Exploration
Navigate the interconnected districts of the city of Sanzu. Each area offers unique challenges and atmosphere. See the ruins of the old district of Luca through his eyes, then lose you in dense and vertical skyscrapers and laboratories full of secrets and mutated objects.
Capacities and progression
While Luca and Rhem strengthen, they unlock new fights, crossing capacities and weapons changes. Personalize your combat load and attribute each attack button to a different weapon for a large possibility of combos.
Sanzu is ready to slide. Posseur (s) is later launched this year on PlayStation 5.
