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

Solo developer Jo Drolet is bringing a fresh experience to the gaming world with the upcoming launch of Lhea and the Word Spirit, a captivating single-player roguelite. In this game, you'll take on the role of a guide for lost souls through enigmatic realms, embarking on a quest to seal the ominous In-Between. With the guidance of an ancient Word Spirit, you'll navigate the delicate balance between life and death, all set against a backdrop of minimalist visuals and an innovative "timeline battle system".

In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players will engage with a unique mechanic that allows them to manipulate the timeline of battles, adding a strategic depth to the gameplay. Equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings, which can be customized to unlock different spells and reveal hidden secrets about the In-Between. As with any roguelite, each run through the procedurally generated worlds will be unique, demanding different strategies to overcome challenges.

*“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,”* Jo Drolet shares her vision for the game.

Lhea and the Word Spirit is slated for release in August, but eager fans can get a taste of the game earlier through a demo available at Steam Next Fest from June 9th to the 16th.
