Solo developer Jo Drolet has unveiled the exciting upcoming release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, a captivating single-player roguelite that invites you to guide lost souls through enigmatic worlds. As you embark on a quest to seal the ominous In-Between, you'll navigate the delicate boundary between life and death, accompanied by an ancient Word Spirit. The game's minimalist visuals and unique "timeline battle system" promise an immersive experience.
In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players will harness the power to manipulate the timeline of battles to advance, utilizing a diverse array of enchanted rings that can be equipped and upgraded. Customizing these rings not only grants access to various spells but also helps uncover hidden secrets, revealing the truth behind the In-Between. The roguelite format ensures that each run is unique, with players adapting strategies across procedurally generated realms.
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 June 16th.
