"Lhea and the Word Spirit: A Roguelite Exploring Life and Death"

Solo developer Jo Drolet has announced the upcoming launch of Lhea and the Word Spirit, a captivating new single-player roguelite. In this game, you'll embark on a quest to guide lost souls through mysterious worlds, striving to seal the dreaded In-Between. As you navigate the delicate boundary between life and death, an ancient Word Spirit will be your guide. The game boasts minimalist visuals and introduces an innovative "timeline battle system."

In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players can manipulate the timeline of battles to advance, equipped with a variety of enchanted rings that can be upgraded. These rings not only grant different spells but also unlock hidden secrets, allowing you to unravel the mysteries of the In-Between. Given its roguelite nature, each run through the procedurally generated realms will require different strategies, ensuring that no two adventures are the same.

*“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,”* shares Jo Drolet.

Lhea and the Word Spirit is set to launch in August, but eager fans can get a taste of the action earlier. A demo will be available during Steam Next Fest, running from June 9th to June 16th.
