The two main hemispheres of Lost in Random‘s gameplay are running around and talking to different characters and fighting the many evil minions that stand in Even’s way. " Lost in Random still delivers a fascinating tale in a bewitching world that shouldn’t be missed by fans of such things." I can confidently say fans of this general aesthetic will be particularly pleased with the overall vibe of Lost in Random. The music of course follows suit with the visuals with a score straight out of MediEvil. The game’s many linear alleyways and Victorian streets do blend together a bit much and dabble in same-yness from time to time, and I’ll admit I got lost a couple of times because of how similar some areas tended to look, but thanks to the generally linear layout and Dicey occasionally signaling where to go, those moments were rare and short-lived. Throughout my entire playtime I was consistently intrigued by the folks Even came across, and the wonderfully strange world they inhabit, and I couldn’t get enough of its winding sidewalks, twisted structures, and preposterous characters. The game shines brightest when it’s focusing on those elements, with a plethora of well-written and voiced dialogue trees that Even can engage in throughout the adventure with a sizable cast of fittingly bizarre characters. It’s a story that’s easy and fun to get behind, just as Even and her new friend Dicey are great protagonists to root for. This unfolds in a rather well-done opening cutscene that sets everything up perfectly. Who Even then spends the game trying to rescue, working her way up from the town of “oners” all the way up to the bourgeois “sixers”, which is of course where Odd was taken after rolling a six with the queen. As they learn, an official roll of a die can completely change the trajectory of your life, which is exactly what happens to Odd, Even’s sister. The focus of the story are two sisters Even and Odd. While it’s small handful of slip-ups might be hard to ignore, Lost in Random still delivers a fascinating tale in a bewitching world that shouldn’t be missed by fans of such things.ĭespite randomness being at the center of this world there is actually a very strict order that everyone must adhere to that divides everyone up into classes that live in different districts based on the numbers 1 through 6. So much so that I was almost able to overlook the repetition and small handful of rough edges that crept into the experience a little more often that I would’ve liked. I‘ve got to admit, I was quite taken with Lost in Random‘s art style, music, and setting from the jump.
