Solo developer Jo Drolet has unveiled the exciting upcoming release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, a captivating single-player roguelite that invites players to guide lost souls through enigmatic realms. As you embark on a mission to seal the ominous In-Between, you'll navigate the delicate balance between life and death, aided by an ancient Word Spirit. The game boasts minimalist visuals and introduces a unique "timeline battle system" that adds a fresh layer of strategy to the gameplay.
In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players can anticipate manipulating battle timelines to advance, utilizing a diverse array of enchanted rings that can be equipped and upgraded. Customizing these rings allows access to various spells and the unlocking of hidden secrets, which will help unravel the mysteries of the In-Between. The roguelite format ensures that each journey is unique, demanding adaptability and varied strategies as you navigate the procedurally generated worlds.
*“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 slated for a full release in August. However, for those eager to dive in sooner, a demo will be available during Steam Next Fest, running from June 9th to the 16th.
