Solo developer Jo Drolet has unveiled the much-anticipated release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, a captivating single-player roguelite set to launch in August. In this enchanting 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. The game boasts minimalist visuals paired with a unique "timeline battle system" that promises to redefine your gaming experience.
In Lhea and the Word Spirit, you'll harness the power to manipulate the timeline of battles, allowing you to strategize and progress through the game. Equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings to enhance your abilities. These rings not only grant you access to different spells but also help you uncover hidden secrets that will reveal the truth behind the In-Between. Given its roguelite nature, each playthrough offers a unique challenge as you navigate through procedurally generated worlds, demanding you to adapt and innovate your strategies on the fly.
“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, encapsulating the essence of what Lhea and the Word Spirit aims to deliver.
Mark your calendars as Lhea and the Word Spirit is slated for release in August. However, if you're eager to dive into this world sooner, a demo will be available during Steam Next Fest from June 9th to the 16th.
