Solo developer Jo Drolet has unveiled the much-anticipated release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, an enthralling single-player roguelite where you take on the role of guiding lost souls through enigmatic realms. Embark on a quest to seal the ominous In-Between, navigating the delicate balance between life and death, all under the guidance of an ancient Word Spirit. The game's minimalist visuals are complemented by a unique "timeline battle system," promising a captivating experience.
In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players will have the ability to manipulate the timeline of battles to advance, utilizing a range of enchanted rings that can be equipped and upgraded. These rings not only offer different spells but also unlock hidden secrets, helping you uncover the mysteries of the In-Between. As a roguelite, each run through the procedurally generated worlds will require you to adapt and employ varied strategies, ensuring no two adventures are 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 June 16th.
