Character Switching

  • Not that button names may differ depending on the controller type selected.

Character Switching, a system that enables you to control the two lead characters, Rebecca and Billy, and use their different abilities to progress through the game. The character you currently control is THE MAIN CHARACTER. The character you do not control is called THE PARTNER CHARACTER.

The Partner Character generally moves independently. (You can use the C STICK to control the Partner Character). Selecting "Partner" on the Status Screen allows you to assign instructions to the character.

  • Solo: Both characters move independently.
  • Team: Partner moves with the Main Character.
  • Attack: Partner attacks automatically.
  • Idle: Partner will not attack.


*You can also press the START/PAUSE Button to switch between Independent and Cooperative Action.
