—You're a ghost named Ash. Possess your fallen foes and survive endlessly challenging dungeons in Host Mortem — a minimalist roguelike where corpses are canon.
Host Mortem
SteamIn Host Mortem, you're Ash, a spectral adventurer betrayed and left to haunt the cursed depths of the Forgotten Crypt. Without a physical body of your own, your only path forward is possessing the lifeless forms of your fallen enemies. Strategically inhabit their corpses, leverage their unique abilities, and battle your way through infinitely escalating dungeon rooms.
With each defeated foe, your spirit grows stronger, enabling you to inhabit increasingly powerful adversaries. But act quickly—corpses don't last forever, forcing swift decisions and clever planning as danger relentlessly mounts.
Key Features:
In Host Mortem, death is your ally—and your strategy. Embrace your spectral form, choose your hosts wisely, and remember—corpses are canon.
