Solo developer Jo Drolet is set to launch the captivating single-player roguelite, *Lhea and the Word Spirit*, where players take on the role of guiding lost souls through enigmatic worlds. Your mission is to seal the ominous In-Between, navigating the delicate balance between life and death with the guidance of an ancient Word Spirit. This game brings to life a minimalist aesthetic alongside an innovative "timeline battle system."
In *Lhea and the Word Spirit*, players will engage in strategic gameplay by manipulating the timeline of battles. This unique mechanic allows you to progress through the game, aided by a selection of enchanted rings. These rings can be equipped and upgraded, offering different spells and the opportunity to uncover hidden secrets that shed light on the mystery of the In-Between.
True to its roguelite roots, *Lhea and the Word Spirit* demands adaptability as you encounter ever-changing challenges within its procedurally generated realms. Each playthrough presents new strategies to explore, ensuring no two adventures are the same.
“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.
Mark your calendars for the launch of *Lhea and the Word Spirit* in August. Can't wait that long? A demo will be available during Steam Next Fest, running from June 9th to the 16th. If you're looking for similar experiences in the meantime, check out our list of the best roguelikes on Android.
