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

Author : Samuel Update:May 04,2025

Solo developer Jo Drolet has announced the eagerly awaited launch of Lhea and the Word Spirit, an innovative single-player roguelite where players guide lost souls through enigmatic realms. As you embark on a quest to seal the dreaded In-Between, you'll navigate the delicate balance between life and death, guided by an ancient Word Spirit. The game's minimalist visuals are complemented by a unique "timeline battle system," promising a deeply engaging experience.

In Lhea and the Word Spirit, players can manipulate the timeline of battles to advance, utilizing a variety of enchanted rings that can be equipped and upgraded. Customizing these rings not only grants access to different spells but also helps unlock hidden secrets, revealing the truth behind the In-Between. As a roguelite, the game demands adaptability, with each run presenting new challenges across procedurally generated worlds.

Jo Drolet shares, *“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.”*

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