The Entity is a a text adventure game (with nice graphical intro with music) that is drawn on a high res graphics screen with it's own custom font. It has one of the strangest premises I have seen - you are a disembodied alien life form who can take over other peoples bodies, and your goal is perform 10 good deeds while taking over the bodies of the people that you encounter (you can also navigate on your own; people can not see you in this state). You also have a very limited number of moves before you have to save somebody via a good deed, and if haven't by that time, the game ends and you have to start over. The game also features key clicking when you type.
