Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession is a computer role-playing game (CRPG) released in 1994. It is set in the Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting of Ravenloft, which is known for its gothic horror themes. The game was developed by DreamForge Intertainment and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI). The gameplay is based on the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition ruleset, and players create a party of characters to navigate through the treacherous world of Ravenloft. The game features a real-time, first-person perspective for exploration and combat.
Electronic Games (1994): "Strahd's Possession is the perfect way to begin a series of games based on the Ravenloft world. SSI’s new approach, to produce games as complete entities instead of parts in a series (the bane of the “Gold Box” games), which they began with Dark Sun, works quite well. They should continue this method indefinitely. It gives different designers a chance to make their own mark on the RPG market with an AD&D game. This should be helpful to all the young designers out there who want to succeed. Strahd’s Possession is another fine example of DreamForge’s skills and a fun way to explore a land where things always go bump in the night."
