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

Solo developer Jo Drolet has announced the upcoming launch of Lhea and the Word Spirit, an enthralling new single-player roguelite where you take on the role of guiding lost souls through mysterious worlds. Embark on a profound journey to seal the ominous In-Between, navigating the delicate balance between life and death with the guidance of an ancient Word Spirit. The game's allure is enhanced by its minimalist visuals and an innovative "timeline battle system."

In Lhea and the Word Spirit, you'll harness the power to manipulate battle timelines, a key mechanic that adds depth to your strategic gameplay. Equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings, which not only grant you access to different spells but also help you uncover hidden secrets to unveil the truth behind the In-Between. Given its roguelite structure, expect each run to be uniquely challenging, as you adapt your strategies across the ever-changing, procedurally generated realms.

“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 set to enchant players when it launches in August. However, for those who can't wait, a demo will be available to play during Steam Next Fest from June 9th to the 16th.
