In something that’s reminiscent of the Hunger Games, children who reach the age of 12 must roll a dice. There are six cities and so, whatever number they end up with will determine where they’re going to live for the rest of their lives. The game begins with Odd having to roll the dice and she ends up with a six, which means that she’s forced to go to Sixtopia (yes, all six cities have a number-themed name).

Fast forward a year later, and Even gets dreams of her sister (Odd) in trouble. She follows a ghost and defies the odds (pun intended) to escape her city and rescue her sister. Along the way, she meets a living dice named Dicey with the power to give her weapons and magic to fight the robotic minions of the Queen and other evil threats in the six cities.

The design of the characters and dark humour in Lost In Random feels like The Nightmare Before Christmas or Coraline, but the lore of the game is deep as well, which is the part that reminded me of Kingdom Hearts. There’s stuff about a devastating ancient No Dice War, warrior-like Dice Wielders, and Even being the last Dice Wielder alive. You should also expect a lot of dialogue in this game, and I do mean a lot. Almost half of the time you’ll be engaging in fetch quests and going from NPC to NPC interacting with them within each of the six cities of Random.
