About Possession

Possession is a turn-based traditional roguelike where you play as a ghost trying to make your way to the surface. You are incredibly frail, but have one advantage: you can possess the bodies of the monsters you encounter, and use their strength and abilities as your own. Hop from body to body as you attempt to make it back to the surface.

Features:

Dozens of possessable monsters, from the horrifying to the hilarious, with a wide variety of powers.
Special themed levels with unique hazards, creatures and layouts. Randomly generated, and each floor has multiple possible levels, so each playthrough is different!
Item-less gameplay. The dead have no need for worldly possessions, they just slow you down.
Quick to pick up and play. Unlike most roguelikes, Possession doesn't require you to memorize dozens of weird key commands, or puzzle over confusing skill and ability lists before you start playing.
Entirely playable with just the keyboard, just the mouse, or a combination of the two.
Mod support! Add your own creatures, powers and special levels, or change the ones already there.
@ Choice between graphics or ASCII mode, for the oldschool roguelike fans.Note: The "demo" is the full game. Feel free to play it as long as you want, but if you like the game, please purchase to support its creation. Purchasing also gives you a Steam key (though you can play for free on Steam as well).

What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Players consistently praise this indie roguelike for its original and engaging central mechanic that sets it apart from similar games, alongside its reasonable price and accessible demo. While most find it fun and rewarding once they adjust to the learning curve, some feel the core concept, though clever, might work even better as a feature in a larger game rather than the main focus.

Fun roguelike with an original concept. Kinda like mid boss but imo way better. Pretty hard and takes some time to get used to, but you'd expect that from a roguelike. And it has a demo so you don't have much to lose trying it

Very good for an indie game, and with a price tag that justifies the amount of enjoyment you will more than likely receive from this title.

Fun little mechanic that would be a fun feature in a larger, more robust game but it does the job here and makes progressing take a little thoughtfulness.
Recommended Oct 28, 2020
It's a great little roguelike with a cute conceit that keeps you on your toes.
Recommended Dec 1, 2019
Interesting game with a different mechanic. It will take you a few rounds to get used to it, but once you do it is quite fun.
Recommended Sep 18, 2019
Cool gameplay concept, more challenging than I thought it'd be. Fun to use all the abilities of the different creatures
