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

Solo developer Jo Drolet has announced the upcoming release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, an enthralling single-player roguelite that invites you to guide lost souls through enigmatic worlds. In your journey to seal the ominous In-Between, you'll navigate the delicate balance between life and death, guided by an ancient Word Spirit. The game is set to captivate players with its minimalist visuals and a unique "timeline battle system".

In Lhea and the Word Spirit, you'll have the ability to manipulate the timeline of battles to advance, utilizing a variety of enchanted rings that you can equip and upgrade. These rings not only grant different spells but also help unlock hidden secrets, revealing the deeper truths behind the In-Between. As with any roguelite, each run through the procedurally generated realms will require you to adapt different 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 launch in August, but eager players won't have to wait that long. A demo will be available during Steam Next Fest from June 9th to the 16th.
