During the Day of the Devs event, Heart Machine and Devolver Digital introduced Professor Foss, a key character in Possessor(s) and the first of four personalities we’ll learn more about before the game’s launch for PC and consoles later this year.
Here’s a description:
In Possessor(s), you play as Luca, a high school student trapped in the ruins of Sanzu City. Professor Foss was one of her teachers. What mysterious research is being conducted in the underground labs of Luca’s former school, and what will Luca and her demon, Rhem, uncover when they investigate?
You won’t have to wait long to find out. Players can now take their first steps through Sanzu – the ravaged city serving as the backdrop for the game’s events – in the first public demo available now on Steam.
In this demo, players are thrown into a sprawling, flooded city overrun by surreal interdimensional horrors. Play as Luca, a teenager who survived a catastrophic demonic attack on Sanzu, and Rhem, a demon who won his freedom by escaping from Sanzu’s deepest laboratories. Other demons broke loose, destroying the city and nearly killing them both. Their only hope for survival lies in learning to coexist.
Learn combat basics, explore the Skyscraper and Park districts, and witness Luca and Rhem forge their uneasy alliance in this preview of what awaits when Possessor(s) arrives in late 2025.
