Solo developer Jo Drolet is set to captivate gamers with the upcoming release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, a thrilling single-player roguelite. In this game, you'll embark on a mystical journey to guide lost souls through enigmatic realms known as the In-Between. As you navigate the delicate balance between life and death, an ancient Word Spirit will be your guide. The game features minimalist visuals paired with a unique "timeline battle system," enhancing the immersive experience.
In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players can manipulate the timeline of battles to advance through the game. You'll have access to a variety of enchanted rings that can be equipped and upgraded. Customizing these rings not only grants different spells but also unlocks hidden secrets, helping you uncover the mysteries of the In-Between. Given its roguelite format, every run through the procedurally generated realms will require you to adapt and employ different strategies.
“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,” Jo Drolet shares, highlighting the game's immersive qualities.
Lhea and the Word Spirit is slated for a full launch in August, but eager players can get a taste of the action earlier. A demo will be available during Steam Next Fest from June 9th to the 16th.
