![]() It's meant to be a fleshed-out fairy tale after all. Without spoiling anything, I want to say that I DO feel like this is a Disney-like level of world-building, at least in terms of scope, influence, and impact. One of the dream sequences in the story is probably in my top-5 video game moments. The term "gorgeous" is not enough to describe the game. The sheer amount of details and colors and atmospheres was breathtaking. There were numerous times where I had to take a pause from running around in order to enjoy the scenery. The "feel" of the game is a combination of Coraline, Alice in Wonderland, and Nightmare Before Christmas. With the help of a magical die, Even travels through all the worlds in consecutive order to reach her sister. The queen and her minions snatch Odd away in front of the shocked/panicked families and onlookers.Įven (the other sister, the main character) senses that something is not right, so she sets on "saving" Odd from the evil queen. The die falls on 1 for Onecroft, but quickly bounces to 6 for Sixtopia. On Odd's 12th birthday, the queen visits her and rolls her die to determine Odd's future. The people of Onecroft are the poorest in all of Random, primarily dealing with junk collection and metal transportation. When a child turns 12 years old, they are personally visited by the queen, who rolls her die and the resulting number determines the world in which the child will spend the rest of their lives.Įven and Odd are sisters living with their family and friends in the impoverished world of Onecroft (1). She uses the only remaining magical die (dice?) to control people through chance and luck. Random is ruled by an evil queen who lives in Sixtopia (6). Each world has its own economy, history, and culture, along with its individual presentation style. The dystopian kingdom of Random is divided into six worlds, one world for each face of a die/dice (1 through 6). It seamlessly combines the storytelling elements of a gothic fairy tale with stop-motion visuals and action-adventure combat/progression. The game is like playing through a dark fairy tale from Hans Christian Andersen. ![]() I just finished it and I ABSOLUTELY loved it. I randomly came across IGN's review on Youtube and decided to play it on my switch. ![]() ![]() Lost in Random was released on September 10, 2021. ![]()
