Possession v21 (The Sunken City) Released. Five Year Anniversary!
Added the "Sunken City" special level. The way projectiles work has been changed. Anything that would block the player from moving now blocks other creatures from moving, so they should no longer be able to step out of the way of certain abilities before they're hit. Made some changes to the final boss to make it a little less annoying.
Occasionally, things that blocked input would get stuck, making it impossible continue. All the cases I'm aware of have been fixed, but in the off chance there are any others, anything that would block input for more than 2 seconds stops blocking input and lets you move again. Added error checking to ability callbacks: should now print the error to the screen rather than crash.
UI scaling setting now applies to the save/load screen.

A little late, but Possession launched five years (and a few months) ago! This update adds the "Sunken City" special level. This was previously a mod I made to show how modding worked, but since modding never took off I'm adding it to the main game. Also, at this point, I've decided to make the "demo" the full game. You can play it as much as you want, for free but please purchase if you like it to support my efforts in creating it. Purchasing also gives you a Steam key. In other news, I'm pretty far along in development of my new game, Wizard School Dropout. In it, you play a disgraced wizard cast out from magical society who turns to crime to pay off your wizard school debt. An initial release is coming soon, follow along at https://weirdfellows.itch.io/wizard-school-dropout

Possession is a 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.
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, 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.
