Solo developer Jo Drolet is set to enchant players with the upcoming release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, an innovative single-player roguelite. In this game, you'll embark on a mystical journey to guide lost souls through the enigmatic realms of the In-Between, a place straddling the delicate balance between life and death. Guided by an ancient Word Spirit, your adventure will unfold in a world characterized by minimalist visuals and a unique "timeline battle system."

In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players will harness the power to manipulate the timeline of battles, enhancing their progression through the game. You'll have the opportunity to equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings, which not only grant different spells but also unlock hidden secrets crucial to unraveling the mystery of the In-Between. As with any roguelite, each playthrough will demand different strategies, thanks to the ever-changing nature of 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,” says Jo Drolet.

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