Possessions

Possessions is an online asymmetric party game for 3–9 players. One player takes the role of the Burglar, trapped in a house by a mischievous Kitsune and tasked with completing random objectives to escape. The other players begin as invisible Ghosts, possessing everyday objects to ambush the Burglar and take over their body.

The Burglar and the Ghosts

Only the player controlling the Burglar can complete tasks and escape. Ghosts hide inside household objects and wait for a chance to attack. When a Ghost lands an ambush and steals the body, its previous owner becomes a Ghost again; players can take the body back from one another. Ghosts can also undo other players’ task progress after stealing the body.

Ways to ambush

Ghosts can manipulate lights to blind and disorient the Burglar, or use decoys to lure and taunt them. The Burglar can look for subtle clues that reveal possessed objects and dodge-roll to avoid ambushes. Players can risk turning on the lights or rely on night vision.

Tasks and lobbies

Players can play in private lobbies with friends or host public games. The Burglar works through a task list and searches for an exit, while players can customize their Ghost’s appearance.
