Solo developer Jo Drolet has unveiled the much-anticipated release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, an enthralling single-player roguelite game. In this captivating adventure, you will guide lost souls through enigmatic realms, striving to seal the ominous In-Between. Accompanied by an ancient Word Spirit, you'll navigate the delicate balance between life and death, all set within a visually minimalist world that features a unique "timeline battle system."
In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players can manipulate the timeline of battles to advance through the game. Equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings, which will not only grant you diverse spells but also unlock hidden secrets. These secrets are key to uncovering the mysteries behind the In-Between. As a roguelite, each run presents new challenges and strategies across the procedurally generated worlds, ensuring no two experiences are ever the same.
Jo Drolet shares, "I wanted to create this charming minimalistic world about life and death with the hope that players lose track of time and feel enspirited by this dance between unexpected discoveries, strategy flow, and heartwarming music."
Lhea and the Word Spirit is slated for a full release in August. However, eager fans can get a taste of the game earlier with a demo available during Steam Next Fest, running from June 9th to the 16th.
