| Name | Type | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform-Fighter Combat | Combat System | Heart Machine built the fighting around platform fighter ideas instead of the usual metroidvania exchange of hits: attacks launch, knock back and set up airborne follow-ups, and the arena is treated as a platform stage rather than a corridor. | Core combat design of the game |
| Four-Weapon Loadout | Combat System | Rather than a ladder of statistically better weapons, Possessor(s) hands Luca four fixed weapons with their own attack sets and lets the player switch between them. | Weapon design across the campaign |
| Affix System | Progression System | Weapons carry affixes that alter how they behave, and the affixes are themselves a collectible set: the Fixed Up trophy is awarded for obtaining all of them. | Weapon upgrade layer, tracked by the Fixed Up trophy |
| Ability Gating | World Structure | Sanzu City is one continuous map rather than a chapter select, and progress is gated by the demonic abilities. | Metroidvania structure of the campaign |
| Memory Sequences | Narrative System | The story is told partly by reliving memories, and the game uses both Luca's and Rehm's recollections rather than a single point of view. | Story presentation across the campaign |
| Collectible Hunts | Collection System | Three separate hunts sit on top of the campaign: the Eyes, which are gathered toward the endgame, a set of lobsters scattered across districts such as the Skyscraper Remnant, Campus Hill and Buried Streets, and the weapon, Special Gear and affix sets. | Trophy and collectible structure |
| Optional Bosses | Encounter System | Beyond the campaign's own fights, Sanzu City hides optional bosses in corners that the critical path never visits, such as the Document Eater in the basement of Campus Hill. | Optional encounters hidden across the map |
