During the game's production, the team inspected the works of animation studio Laika, movies directed by Tim Burton, Grimms' Fairy Tales, and the Oddworld series for inspirations. According to Olov Redmalm, the game's creative director, Lost in Random was a homage to 'dark fairy tales' and stop-motion animation. The game is developed by Swedish developer Zoink. The game features a dialogue wheel which allows players to select dialogue options while conversing with NPCs. When Dicey and Even are exploring the Kingdom of Random, they will meet various non-playable characters. The game also features light role-playing game elements. As players progress, new cards will be earned and they will recover Dicey's lost pips, which would enable Even to roll higher numbers during combat. Cards can be earned through collecting coins. For instance, one of the cards turns Dicey into an explosive cube, while another allows players to place traps.

There are five different types of cards (Weapon, Damage, Defense, Hazard, and Cheat), offering different gameplay advantages and combat abilities. During this period, players can select the card they want to use, which is the only way to deal damage to enemies. Once Dicey is fully fueled, players can roll it and time will be temporarily stopped. While it does not damage enemies, opponents hit by her slingshot drop energy cubes which fuel Dicey. In combat, the player can use Even's slingshot. Players must roll Dicey in order to progress and Even will only be safe when she reaches the final piece on the board. Combat happens in arenas that look like a game board. Lost in Random is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. In a world which is governed by game rules, Even will slowly understand the randomness of life with the help of Dicey. As Even journeys across the six realms of Random to rescue her sister, she meets Dicey, a sentient dice who has lost nearly all of its pips. Even's sister, Odd, is abducted by the wicked Queen of Random. In the Kingdom of Random, the fate of all individuals is decided by a cursed black die when they reach the age of 12. Part of the EA Originals program, the game was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in September 2021. Lost in Random is an action-adventure video game developed by Zoink and published by Electronic Arts.
