![]() ![]() My only criticism for the dialogue of Lost In Random is that the majority of the game doesn’t have voice acting recorded for Even. The writing team at Zoink did a great job at avoiding the typical dialogue tropes of asking unnatural questions that are only used to get exposition dumps and instead incorporated a lot of great comedic responses to the context of what’s being said to Even. There are moments that I was genuinely laughing out loud at the dialogue options that are offered to the player. Speaking of making me smile, Lost In Random has some of the best humor in its dialogue that I’ve experienced in recent games. Royam hangs out in Upside Downtown trying to think of rhymes (Source: Lost In Random) Seemore and Manny Decks were two other characters that brought a smile to my face whenever I encountered them throughout the realms of Random. This even leads to a fun boss battle that incorporates a rhyming mini game that causes damage to his health. There is also a character, Mayor, that is torn into two halves and his darker half, Royam, has the absolute worst time trying to speak in rhymes. ![]() There’s a scene towards the end of the game that involves a Grim Reaper character that steals the show for the all too short time that he’s involved in the narrative. In some cases, I was disappointed by how little time that my favorite characters were in the story. However, the characters that Even meets along her journey are by far my favorite aspect of the narrative. The realms are adversarial towards one another, and in some cases themselves, while the Queen benefits from the social fighting rather than being targeted by everyone involved.Īs someone who has never really been into Tim Burton’s style of animation in Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie, or Henry Selick’s A Nightmare Before Christmas, I was surprised to find myself admiring the style of Lost In Random that draws a lot of inspiration from those sources. ![]() Instead, Lost In Random takes a similar approach to The Hunger Games regarding the different realms and their relationship to Sixtopia. When I was presented with the premise of a journey through the different realms of Random, I was expecting to traverse through areas of different social classes as the story seems to set up. Even sets off on a journey across Random when her twin sister Odd is taken to Sixtopia by the queen, in hopes of breaking the curse on Random and bringing her sister home. The side that the die lands on dictates the realm that the child will spend the rest of their life in. Lost In Random is a story about a kingdom where the Queen of Random requires all children to roll her cursed black 6-sided die at the age of 12. The Queen of Random rolls her black 6-sided die that is part of the curse on Random. ![]()
