The defining twist is its soul-transfer mechanic, which allows you to possess different characters to solve puzzles and utilize different combat skills.

Press Z and X (SNES B/A buttons) to interact and confirm actions, and use Enter and Shift for Start and Select.
Tips
Take full advantage of the spirit possession mechanic by experimenting with different bodies, as each vessel offers distinct stats and abilities that can turn the tide in battles. Be sure to talk to every NPC you encounter, since crucial hints for where to travel next are often tucked away in casual dialogue.
