Titled as a search-and-interact game, reminiscent of the metroidvania genre, Possessor(s) represents a transition to 2D gameplay for Heart Machine. This innovative title blends swift side-scrolling action, similar to Metroid, with mechanics inspired by Dark Souls, resulting in an intense, challenging, and visually stunning adventure game that emphasizes constant discovery.
Unlike their previous works featuring abstract narratives and non-humanoid characters, Possessor(s) appears to signal a move towards a more conventional storytelling approach. This game features hand-drawn, captivating characters who deliver plot developments and dialogue accompanied by character art, much like Hades.
