The game has a fairly gorgeous and whimsical orchestral soundtrack to go with it too. The humans you meet are mostly dingy and creatures that live alongside them look like fairies and monsters ripped from the very pages of nightmarish European folklore and cautionary tales. Everything from the enviroment to the characters looks like it was crafted of various mixes of clay, paper, vinyl, and fabric.
Each land you visit has a beating heart all its own in its themes and moods, delivered by the citizenry that live there and occasionally task Even with their woes. Lost in Random is a mesmerizing world that is as macabre as it is gorgeous and quirky. The Queen supplied them with towering robots to do battle and each day rolls her dice to decide which one gets to attack and gain advantage over the other two.

For instance, Two-Town is a place in which each denizen has a split personality and the Queen’s dice roll each morning decides which personality is dominant for the day. Suitably named Dicey, the dice joins Even in her cause and Even finds Dicey can help her not only fight the Queen’s minions, but also change the fate of entire lands under her control. She feels Odd was stolen from her and, moreover, the appearance of strange dreams and a ghost convince Even that all is not happily-ever-after and Odd needs her help.Īs Even sets out on an adventure to discover the fate of her sister, it doesn’t take her long to discover a surviving dice with power comparable to the Queen’s. Odd’s 12th birthday comes up in the game's opening chapters and despite her desire to stay with her family and sister, a troubling twist of fate turns the dice to a six, allowing the Queen to take her away to a supposed highlife. She then rolls her dice and the result decides which land of the society that child will be sent to. When a child turns 12 years old, the Queen visits to meet them. It’s in this world that "Oner" sisters Even and Odd try to make the best of a bad hand, but not for long. It’s a world of settlements based upon one of the six sides of a dice with Onecroft being the lowest rung of society, inhabited by the poor and penniless while Sixtopia is a top-rung paradise. In this world, dice have magic and life to them, but the queen supposedly destroyed all dice but the one in her control - a powerful black dice. Lost in Random tells the story of a world ruled over by an all-powerful and tyrannical Queen. A world of dice magic & yet only one dice However, it's also dulled by some unfortunate limitations and cracks at the seams of the overall experience. It’s a world controlled by sorcery imbued into chance, and the journey through it is a visual, musical, interactive, and narrative spectacle. What if all things were subject to a roll of the dice? What if the only things that stood between catastrophe and fortune were a one-to-six pipped roll? What if, despite what chance said, you refused to simply accept the outcome? Lost in Random is a grim, yet magical world.
