"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...

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!!

High praise and even higher expectations from @pcgamer.com ! Possessor(s) will definitely deliver.
