Solo developer Jo Drolet is set to launch the captivating single-player roguelite, Lhea and the Word Spirit, where players will embark on a mystical journey to guide lost souls through the enigmatic In-Between. As you navigate this shadowy realm, you'll be accompanied by an ancient Word Spirit, blurring the lines between life and death in a quest to seal the dreaded In-Between. The game's minimalist visuals and unique "timeline battle system" promise a deeply engaging experience.
