Philip the Phantasmal sPecter has lived in his family's house for generations. Over time, the house has become corrupted by the untold horrors that have taken place within it. The specters of the dead have begun to pile up, and Philip is now tasked with clearing his once-quiet home.

To do this, Philip will need to use his powers to possess the local dark wizards. These wizards are capable of absorbing specters, and the stronger the wizard, the easier it is to absorb other specters. As Philip possesses more wizards and absorbs other specters, his own power will grow.

Controls: Press P as a specter to possess wizards of a lower or equal level. Press space as a wizard to absorb other specters. WASD for movement. Wall Jump your way across the map.

With your help, Philip can clear his home and restore it to its former quiet ruin. But be careful, the ghosts are not to be trifled with. They are powerful and vengeful, and they will not hesitate to attack you.

Good luck, players, and may Philip's reign continue for generations to come.
