Grip on Reality

Grip on Reality follows a wizard whose chaotic, unpredictable spells often fail to work as intended and ruin lives. The wizard sets out on a long quest across the world to uncover a mysterious cult that worships a crystal, the same crystal that powers the wizard’s staff.

Explore the world

You travel through randomly generated levels, encounter plentiful NPCs and discover shops, treasure rooms, boss fights and secrets. Secret language puzzles offer another way to investigate the world. You can catalogue your discoveries and findings in an almanac, and choose character skins to change your appearance.

Wield chaotic magic

You collect hundreds of items and wield randomly generated wands. Spells have effects chosen at random from a very long list of possibilities: chance can turn a dire situation into victory or bring a powerful wizard to their knees. Some collected items give you a degree of control over these effects, but your attacks do not always hurt enemies. The game also includes a wide assortment of magic that can change gameplay, as well as cats.

Possession Mode

In Possession Mode, friends join your game by using the keyboard or plugging in a controller to take command of the world’s NPCs, rather than controlling another wizard. They have mostly full control, and can use the range of enemy and friendly characters to help or hinder the wizard.
