"Lhea and the Word Spirit: A Roguelite Exploring Life and Death"

Solo developer Jo Drolet has unveiled the upcoming release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, an engaging single-player roguelite where players take on the role of guiding lost souls through mysterious realms. Embark on a quest to seal the ominous In-Between, navigating the delicate balance between life and death with the guidance of an ancient Word Spirit. The game's unique aesthetic is defined by its minimalist visuals and introduces an innovative "timeline battle system."

In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players will master the art of manipulating battle timelines to advance through the game. Equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings, which not only grant different spells but also unlock hidden secrets, helping to uncover the truth behind the In-Between. As with any roguelite, each playthrough demands new strategies due to the ever-changing nature of procedurally generated worlds.

“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,” shares Jo Drolet.

Lhea and the Word Spirit is slated for a full release in August. However, eager players can get a taste of the game during the Steam Next Fest from June 9th to June 16th, where a demo will be available.
