The game is at its strongest during its first full area, during which Even stumbles upon a living, breathing, and quite forbidden dice that she names Dicey and together they set out to figure out the strange rules of Twotown, where every citizen has a split personality, including the mayor, whose rhyming Royam alter ego is a menace. And among those children is Odd, whoвЂ™s cruelly separated from her sister Even when she rolls a six. On their 12th birthday, every child of Random rolls the dice, which determines whether they will be destined to a life of struggle in Onecroft, one of war in Threedom, or one of luxury in Sixtopia. But Lost in RandomвЂ™s consistently strong plotting doesnвЂ™t quite make up for the increasingly lackluster gameplay of what proves to be an overlong adventure, especially during its redundant and rigidly linear tail end.ДЄfter being destroyed by civil war, the kingdom of Random was left to the mercy of the gaunt, white-masked Queen and the roll of a mysterious black dice. Its gameplay also smartly keys the storyвЂ™s chance-based conceit to the element of luck that plays into the hybrid of dice-, card-, and action-based combat. Swedish indie developer Zoink GamesвЂ™s Lost in Random benefits from the richness of its setting, even when itвЂ™s at the service of reductive gothic effects.
