About This Game
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).

Really solid Roguelike, definitely worth the asking price considering it's original concept. The mechanics are well designed and the writing is pretty good all round. Massive props for the modding guide the dev put up, hoping I can make some of my own soon. Can't really nit-pick as the game does everything it sets out to do well. Perhaps the music/sound effects could be improved? But for a roguelike any sound is a + and I shouldn't be complaining as it still does the job, the creature aggro sound effects and ability effect are a nice touch. Great for people who like smaller, more contained Roguelikes that you can actually finish but have enough variety to keep you coming back,, like the Golden Crone Hotel, Depths of Tolegal etc...
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.
Quite good, I must say. True roguelike! Just hope more content can be poured in.
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.
It's a great little roguelike with a cute conceit that keeps you on your toes.
Cool gameplay concept, more challenging than I thought it'd be. Fun to use all the abilities of the different creatures
