At first, I played and finished the game thinking I'd only be able to possess weapons. Imagine my surprise when I found out you could actually possess enemies and be able to use a second ability with each weapon!
I'd say the reason I missed this in my first run is that the game refers to the tutorial pathway as "Story", and the game also spawns you right next to the "START" panel. Since I wanted to experiment how the game felt, I naturally went towards "START" first. Making it more clear that that pathway is a tutorial could prevent people from missing any of that stuff.
I did also feel like the game could've used a bit of music as well. With that said, I like that all three weapons operate very differently from one another, especially the spellbook. Currently, there isn't much of an incentive to possess enemies, since staying as a weapon lets you continue attacking and you have a lot of health that way. The concept is interesting though, and I like the second attacks you get when possessing an enemy.
I also appreciate that you listed the controls in the pause menu. It's an appreciated touch.
This game has a neat concept, it just needs some polishing. Good work!
The controls are very awkward when using WASD to move and attacking with Q and E. It would be better if the attacks are done on the mouse clicks, if you intend on letting the aim be decided by the mouse anyway.
Also attacking creatures feels too hard when they have too much HP.
also I'm surprised controls are as much of an issue its every comment i get says what you said which is unexpected but maybe I'm in the minority that it doesn't bother. Its nice to know

thanks very much for this long feedback
i really did not think about that ppl would just start right away so i tough the story would be the first think most would do i guess i was mistaken.
also i can agree with possession not being worth the hassle i just did not have enough time to balance it.
with music lets be honest i just gave up lol
thanks once more
