Solo developer Jo Drolet is thrilled to unveil the upcoming release of Lhea and the Word Spirit, an enthralling single-player roguelite where players guide lost souls through enigmatic realms. Your journey involves sealing the ominous In-Between, navigating the delicate balance between life and death, all under the guidance of an ancient Word Spirit. The game features minimalist visuals paired with a unique "timeline battle system" that promises to captivate players.

In Lhea and the Word Spirit, you'll have the power to manipulate the timeline of battles to advance, using a variety of enchanted rings that you can equip and upgrade. These rings not only offer different spells but also unlock hidden secrets, helping you uncover the mysteries of the In-Between. The roguelite format ensures that each run through the procedurally generated realms is unique, challenging you to adapt and refine your strategies continually.

“I wanted to craft a captivating minimalist world that explores the themes of life and death, where players can lose themselves in the flow of strategy, heartwarming music, and the thrill of unexpected discoveries,” says Jo Drolet.

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 the 16th. Can't wait until then? Check out our curated list of the best roguelikes on Android to keep you entertained in the meantime.
