"Between its cleverly written characters and its creative approach to combat, @possessors.bsky.social was easily one of my top highlights of Summer Game Fest." A demo is now available on Steam for you to try out yourself. www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/hea...

"Combat feels great...chaining combos together like punching a demon, hitting them into the air with the computer mouse, and yanking them back down to the ground with my whip for some heavy damage feels great." It feels great to read this @gameinformer.com coverage.

Saw lots of games at SGF I haven't talked about yet, so here's a short thread! POSSESSORS (Heart Machine) Extremely slick metroidvania with a modern hellworld setting (think Devilman). Immediately just *feels* good to jump and attack. They told me the combat was inspired by Smash Bros?? Cool.

"When it comes to videogames with impeccable vibes, I always think of Heart Machine...Heart Machine has designed Sanzu to be a haunting mega-city. That means eerie music, colossal visuals, and bold colors." @pcgamesn.com gets our vibes 🥺

"The demons are both tragic and hot in Possessor(s), the Hyper Light Drifter studio's new fantasy platformer...[it] is Hollow Knight with a splash of Amanita Design’s Creaks" Thanks for stopping by Sanzu @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social .

"This world is dark and colorful at the same time, and is as eerie as it is awe-inspiring to look at...When you put wild colors, demon drama, and saucy combat together, that’s an easy recipe for capturing my attention span." Thanks @shacknews.com for giving Possessor(s) a shot!!

Possessor(s) Demo is Out Now! Surprise! The Free Demo lets you play the First Hour of the game, featuring the games intro, the first region, and an exciting boss fight! store.steampowered.com/app/2132890/...

What do you think is happening here?

👁️ you at Tribeca Games.

Uppercut 🔥

Possessor(s) is an official selection of the Tribeca Festival 2025 Games Program! Join us at the Games Gallery June 11-15 at Pier 57 to play an exclusive demo of the game and all the other incredible projects. Can’t wait to see you there! Thanks to support from @devolverdigital.com

The indie game we're making and three of the inspirations behind it

"The next game from the creator of Hyper Light Drifter is a Toonami-core anime throwback set in one of the most interesting Metroid-style worlds I've seen in a while." High praise and even higher expectations from @pcgamer.com ! Possessor(s) will definitely deliver.

"Possessor(s) is eye-catching and combat-focused, and...has a narrative that’s supremely relevant for our times. [Capitalistic] megacorporations with an iron grip on society are bad, and young people fighting the system are rad." @engadget.bsky.social picking up what we're putting down 🙌

“It wasn’t at all what I was expecting, but the game intrigues me all the same, and I can’t wait to jump into it myself later this year.” Thanks for the great preview coverage of Luca and "the strange horned man" @gamespot.com !

"For a hell hole, it all looks pretty fantastic." That's what we're going for. @thegamerweb.bsky.social gets it 🙏

"Possessor(s) is also a Metroidvania, but it's also not a Metroidvania...it's a platform fighter, channeling Super Smash Bros. combat for a curious mix of juggling, bouncing, and physics interactions." So much love from @gamesradarplus.bsky.social about our SEARCH ACTION game!

"We're not just making Dark Souls over and over again. We have a variety of skill sets and ideas... Our reputation can only go so far if we don't keep maximizing what came before and translating it into something in the future." Thanks for the great preview piece @gamesradarplus.bsky.social !
