Heart Machine has faced layoffs and will be wrapping development on Hyper Light Breaker, currently in early access. Nevertheless, its next title, Possessor(s), is on track to launch on November 11th for PS5 and PC. In a new animated short, the developer expands a bit on the setting, showcasing the tragedy of Professor Foss.
Previously a teacher to Luca, the demonic disaster in Sanzu City resulted in the death of his students and possession by the Knowledge Demon. Though Foss is still receptive to conversation, this short indicates that the demon is tearing away at him beyond simply altering his appearance.
Of course, the trip to the school is for more than just reuniting with Foss, as Luca and Rhem delve into the basement to learn more about some “mysterious research.” What this could lead to remains unknown, but it won’t be long before we find out. For more details on the side-scrolling action title, including the combat and weapons that Luca can wield, head here.
