Each area has its share of strange, unsettling characters, many of whom have a story to tell. Every environment is a treat for the eyes, from the strange teapot-shaped buildings of Onecroft to the majestically pink sunset of Threedom. The best thing about Lost in Random is its world. Unfortunately, that revelation came with all of the frustration that Soulslikes tend to impart. The more I played, the more I got a sense that this wasn’t your average action-adventure game - instead, it’s actually a Soulslike in disguise, or a game that takes its combat cues from the infamously punishing Dark Souls series. At the same time, it’s also a tough action game with fairly limited resources and a heavy focus on dodge mechanics. Lost in Random is a lush, beautiful adventure through an interesting world populated with unique characters. Armed with Dicey and a deck of battle cards, Even sets off to save Odd. Along the way, she meets Dicey, a sentient die with a surprising amount of power. When Even’s beloved sister, Odd, rolls a six on her birthday and is transported to live in the Queen’s palace, Even sets off on a quest to rescue her. Main character Even was born to residents of Onecroft, the lowest and most unlucky of the kingdoms. When children turn 12, the Queen rolls the die, and the number it lands on determines which kingdom they’re sent to. A mad queen rules over the world’s six kingdoms, all of which have unique number-themed quirks. In the world of Random, citizens’ fates are decided by the roll of a six-sided die.
