Development and Vaporware Status
While not officially cancelled, updates on the game's development ceased in 2006. In response to several questions about Possession, Blitz/Volatile sent out the same message to any person who requested the status of the game.
"Hi there, Thanks for your interest in Possession. Unfortunately we still haven't managed to secure a publisher to take on the project. We haven't given up on Possession completely, we want to see it made as much as you do. We are pursuing other games at the moment though. Best regards, PR Dept, Volatile Games"
The website www.youhavebeenpossessed.com, formerly the game's homepage, was abandoned and later purchased by a completely different organization.

—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“The highest form of development is to govern one’s self.”
—Zerelda G. Wallace (1817–1901)
