Solo developer Jo Drolet has unveiled the much-anticipated release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, an enthralling new single-player roguelite. In this game, you'll embark on a quest to guide lost souls through enigmatic realms, all while navigating the delicate balance between life and death, guided by an ancient Word Spirit. The game showcases minimalist visuals and introduces a unique "timeline battle system," promising a deeply engaging experience.
In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players will harness the power to manipulate the timeline of battles to advance through the game. By equipping and upgrading a variety of enchanted rings, you can unlock diverse spells and uncover hidden secrets, delving deeper into the mystery of the In-Between. The roguelite format ensures that each playthrough is unique, with procedurally generated realms demanding different strategies for every run.
Jo Drolet shares her vision, stating, *“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 through a demo available during Steam Next Fest, running from June 9th to June 16th.
