Play Overview
Lost in Random (2021) is an adventure where you play an anthropomorphic dice and a young girl called Even. In her world, when she turns 12 she must roll a magical die to be assigned a region to live in and a life to live. But seeing her sister go through this she escapes to go and look for her. Along the way she meets her dice counterpart and the adventure really begins.
The dice and chance elements introduce a little board game tactics to the action combat, in what is a beautiful-looking game with Tim Burton-style animation reminiscent of the film Coraline. You play through six numerically distinct kingdoms. In Two Town, for instance, everyone has two personalities. Or in Three Town, a set of triplets are locked in a civil war against each other.
Characters are all interactive and fully voiced, to create a living breathing gothic fairy tale. It's a coming-of-age story in a world where minimising risk has become the norm. After events that change your young life forever, your job is to accept randomness and the flow of events and roll with those punches rather than flail against them.
