- Guide wandering spirits through the spectral realms
- Rewrite combat outcomes with temporal manipulation
- Full release coming August, Steam demo available June
Solo developer Jo Drolet has revealed Lhea and the Word Spirit, an innovative roguelite adventure where players shepherd lost souls through enigmatic dimensions. Your journey to seal the ominous In-Between unfolds through striking minimalist visuals and a revolutionary timeline-based combat system.
The game introduces groundbreaking temporal mechanics - players can strategically alter battle sequences to gain advantage. A diverse array of magical rings can be equipped and enhanced, each unlocking unique spells and hidden lore about the mysterious In-Between.
True to roguelite form, every expedition through the procedurally generated realms presents fresh challenges requiring adaptable tactics.

My vision was crafting a beautifully simple world exploring life and death, where players become immersed in rhythmic strategy, surprising revelations, and uplifting melodies,
explains Jo Drolet.
Lhea and the Word Spirit officially launches in August, with a playable demo coming to Steam Next Fest June 9-16. For enthusiasts eager to dive into similar experiences, our curated selection of exceptional roguelikes offers worthy alternatives.
