If you have never played a roguelike, the objective is to find stairs to the next level until level 10 where you have to beat the boss.
Each level has a different set of challenges / enemies but the general strategy as in most roguelikes is to be cautious and not engage with enemies. Be sure to use the possession power when you health is low, or to avoid floor hazards. You can wait possession cool down while in safe areas and make sure to try the special power of monsters.
To beat the boss, the easiest strategy is to possess a wizard and summon mobs as meat shield. Then leave the boss's field of vision to not be caught in fire. There is a different ending depending on which monster you possess while beating the boss.
Big spoiler: your original body is sitting in the middle of the room, invisible unless next to it. So lure out the boss and possess it for a fun ride.
it's just based on the type of monster your possess. It is not very effective since you can wait it out. But I have been thinking of tying it to exploration or kills.
Hmmm... Norton is reporting the .exe file (expelled-rl-windows-20190420.exe) as a virus when I try and extract the .zip file. Any reason it would do that? I mean, I'd like to think it's a false positive, but at the same time I'd like to be sure before I allow it. It's being reported as a Trojan.Gen.9. Thanks
It seems that the UPX exe compressor is what generates the false alarm. I re-uploaded a version not compressed with UPX. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

i feel like freeze and confusion are instant death sentences...
Can't get this to run on Mac. I dragged SDL2 into library/frameworks, unzipped the file, changed .bin to .exe and it won't run.
is there a walkthrough/general guide for this game?

also the cooldown seems to be longer every time you use possession, is this exactly how it works? is the ability limited?

The exe is concatenated with a zip containing the game. Maybe that's what triggers the anti-virus. I'll investigate...
