Part of Even's story about growing up is how she learns to deal with that. The developers say this is all a part of the theme of randomness, that the world doesn't work in a way that makes sense nor does it always work out in your favor.
You're a child, but you're mostly on your own, tasked with making sense of the world around you, along with the weird dreams you're having and the ghost you have to follow. Making your way through all the areas to get to the Queen isn't going to be easy. Source: Electronic Arts (Image credit: Source: Electronic Arts) In one area, you meet a merchant who has a personality on his back, and both try to make deals with you to remove the other one out of the business and the picture. However, this has gone on so long that people are starting to physically manifest these personalities, sometimes in grotesque ways. One day they could be jovial and the next, dour and melancholy. In Twotown, for example, everybody has two personalities that are set by the roll of the queen's dice.
In my time with the game, I got to explore Even and Odd's One area but was able to make my way to Twotown. When you're not in combat, you're exploring the six areas of this world, each named after a side of a die. In the presentation, I saw a card that can allow you to slow down time in a certain area, which I was not able to unlock during my playtime, so there is a lot to look out for. I didn't get to experience enough of it to say how it's going to scale up over the course of the runtime, but the game is constantly giving you new cards that you can work into your strategy. It's all fairly easy to comprehend, which makes jumping into combat a breeze. I also enjoyed using a trap simply called Bomb!, and you could probably guess what that did. For example, rolling well allowed me to use the Bow of One, an early-game weapon that turns your trusty slingshot into a powered-up bow and arrow. Depending on how much you roll, you can play a card from your deck, which can grant you access to new weapons and traps. When you defeat or deal a decent amount of damage to the enemies, you gain energy, which you can then use to roll Dicey. Each combat scenario requires you to hack and slash at your opponents, but there's a twist. To tie together the board game imagery and this theme of randomness, the team created a combat system tied to your die, a sentient, magical die named Dicey, and a set of cards.
