Solo developer Jo Drolet has unveiled the upcoming release of *Lhea and the Word Spirit*, an enthralling single-player roguelite that promises to captivate players as they navigate lost souls through enigmatic realms. Embark on a poignant journey to seal the ominous In-Between, balancing delicately between life and death, guided by an ancient Word Spirit. The game's charm lies in its minimalist visuals paired with a unique "timeline battle system".

In *Lhea and the Word Spirit*, players will harness the ability to manipulate battle timelines, a key mechanic that adds depth to the gameplay. Equip and upgrade a variety of enchanted rings, which not only allow you to cast diverse spells but also unlock hidden secrets essential for unraveling the mysteries of the In-Between. The roguelite format ensures that each run through the procedurally generated worlds presents new challenges, demanding different strategies for success.

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.”*

Mark your calendars for the full release of *Lhea and the Word Spirit* in August. However, if anticipation is too much to bear, a demo will be available during Steam Next Fest from June 9th to the 16th.
