Solo developer Jo Drolet has exciting news for gamers with the announcement of Lhea and the Word Spirit, a captivating single-player roguelite set to launch in August. In this game, you'll embark on a mystical journey to guide lost souls through the enigmatic realms of the In-Between, guided by an ancient Word Spirit. With its minimalist visuals and a unique "timeline battle system," the game promises an immersive experience that blurs the lines between life and death.
In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players will have the ability to manipulate the timeline during battles, adding a strategic depth to the gameplay. Equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings, which not only grant you different spells but also help unlock the hidden secrets behind the In-Between. The roguelite format ensures that each run through the procedurally generated realms will be unique, requiring you to adapt your strategies on the fly.
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 release in August, but eager fans can get a sneak peek during the Steam Next Fest from June 9th to 16th, where a demo will be available.
