Once there, she follows the main quest, along with some side quests. The game’s structure, as stated previously, takes Even to each of Random’s six towns. There isn’t as much to the game as I’d hoped as a result, and some platforming would have mixed well with the rest of the game. I was quite disappointed to see that there wasn’t a jump button once I started. I had only taken a brief look at a trailer before playing Lost in Random, so I went in almost completely blind. The game follows Even as she blindly wanders around for a while looking for Odd. Odd turns 12, rolls, and ends up in Sixtopia with the Queen, who has suspicious plans for her. What number the kid rolls determines what town they live in for the rest of their life. On every child’s 12th birthday, the Queen’s nanny shows up and rolls a black dice.

Specifically, Even and Odd are young sisters living in the town of Onecroft in the land of Random. A girl gets kidnapped by an evil so-and-so, so she has to be rescued. It could have been better, but, hey: Random rules!

But it’s a good title that manages to justify its price tag. With that out the way, I had a reasonably good time with the game, but it runs out of new permutations fairly early on, has a somewhat unimpressive narrative, and reuses NPC models so brazenly that I’m still perplexed. Yes, Lost in Random is published by EA, but it has nothing to do with Alice: Madness Returns. Let’s get something out of the way first.
