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 enthralling single-player roguelite where players embark on a quest to guide lost souls through enigmatic realms. In this journey to seal the ominous In-Between, you'll navigate the delicate boundary between life and death, guided by an ancient Word Spirit. The game is set in a world characterized by minimalist visuals and an innovative "timeline battle system."

In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players will engage with a unique mechanic of manipulating battle timelines to advance. Equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings, which not only grant you different spells but also unlock hidden secrets, helping you unravel the mysteries of the In-Between. The roguelite format ensures that every playthrough is unique, with procedurally generated worlds demanding varied strategies for each run.

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, but eager fans can get a taste of the game sooner with a demo available during Steam Next Fest from June 9th to the 16th.
