Possessor(s) is a high-speed action side-scroller that fuses platform-fighter precision with intense, high-stakes combat. As Luca, players must master fluid movement, aerial juggles, and the dark powers of Rhem to survive relentless melee encounters against the horrors of Sanzu City.

Sanzu was meant to be the future—a self-sustaining utopia where families could live, work, and thrive under the global megacorp Agradyne. But three years ago, something escaped from Agradyne’s deepest labs. With it came a nightmare: demons desperate for human hosts. Many lost control, mutating into grotesque abominations. In response, Agradyne abandoned the city, sealing the survivors inside a labyrinth of crumbling skyscrapers.

Luca wakes in the ruins—once an ordinary teenager in a corporate-run town, now fighting to survive. Her only ally is Rhem, a powerful and embittered demon who once endured Agradyne’s experiments. Rhem possesses Luca not to control her, but to keep them both alive. Their uneasy pact is simple: she’ll help Rhem return home, and he’ll help her fight.

Together, they journey through a city haunted by tragic fusions of humans and demons—each an echo of manipulation, desperation, and broken bonds. As they unravel the truth behind Sanzu, Luca will be forced to confront the sinister reality beneath its polished corporate veneer.

Luca’s arsenal is as unconventional as her battles. Armed with whatever she can find, she carves through demons with kitchen knives, pummels them with a computer mouse, cracks skulls with a hockey stick—or even shreds enemies with a guitar.

Her trusty knives are quick and precise, letting her dash in for rapid strikes before slipping out of danger. Keeping up the pressure staggers enemies, leaving them vulnerable. Juggling foes with directional attacks prolongs their suffering, turning each fight into a brutal display of skill.

But in Sanzu, anything can be possessed—people, vending machines, potted plants… even an Agradyne Series LC65 Multi-Function Printer Scanner. Danger lurks in plain sight, and to bring Rhem home, Luca must challenge the city’s most formidable demons.

As they grow stronger, Luca and Rhem unlock new combat techniques, traversal abilities, and weapon modifications. Players can customize their combat loadout, assigning each attack button to different weapons for near-limitless combo potential.

Survive. Adapt. Fight back. The horrors of Sanzu City won’t stop—so neither can you.
We can't wait to share more Possessor(s) news with you later this year!

We’re excited to announce our newest project, Possessor(s), a brand new story and world we’re crafting with the support of our publisher Devolver Digital. As with all our games, this is a piece of work from our hearts that blends our signature aesthetic with new ideas, creating an experience that is both deeply personal and visually stunning.|

A Message from Danny Moll, Art Director

We have carefully calibrated the overall aesthetic and tone of Possessor(s) and are proud of what we’ve come up with. Inspired by games like INSIDE, Signalis, and Control — and TV shows like Severance, we’ve created a world that feels both familiar and hauntingly surreal.

Imagine a post-apocalyptic sci-fi landscape, influenced by weird fiction world-building in such works as Jeff Vandermeer's Area X or the Annihilation film.

It’s “sony-walkman retrofuturism” in a game.

A Message from Alx Preston, Founder & Creative Director

You’ll notice that Possessor(s) shares DNA with Hyper Light Drifter, despite being an entirely different world and story. As a studio, we’re eternally applying valuable lessons from our past successes and mistakes to our present work. We’re carrying those lessons forward, and transforming them into something unique with this game. We hope to continue to build on our legacy while pushing the boundaries of what we can create.

At its core, Possessor(s) is a game about relationships – specifically, the ones that hurt us and how we navigate through them. We wanted to explore the idea of getting out of toxic traps and the difficult journey of self-improvement. Our characters are trying to change for the better and struggling to stop punishing themselves. The theme of possession ties into how we heal from these emotional wounds.

The world of Possessor(s) is an unsettling place where beauty and decay coexist. It’s hopeful, it’s dark, and it’s waiting for you to explore it.
