Solo developer Jo Drolet has unveiled the much-anticipated release of "Lhea and the Word Spirit," a captivating single-player roguelite that invites players to guide lost souls through enigmatic realms. Embark on a quest to seal the ominous In-Between, navigating the delicate balance between life and death, guided by an ancient Word Spirit. The game's minimalist aesthetic is complemented by an innovative "timeline battle system," promising a unique gaming experience.
In "Lhea and the Word Spirit," players can manipulate the flow of battles to advance through the game. Equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings that not only grant you access to different spells but also help unlock the hidden secrets that lie within the In-Between, revealing the truth behind this mysterious realm.
