Lost in Random has received much praise from fans and critics since its release. However, the dark fairy tale packaged by the Zoink Games team loses two essential pieces.
The founder of the software house, Klaus Lyngeled, has indeed announced that he has left the team to embark on a new professional adventure. The video game author, specifically, makes it known that he has started a new development studio, christened Moon Hood.
💓 This is what I’m doing next: Co-founding my own company - Moonhood - where I’ll be directing, designing and writing games together with my ol’ pal, @KlausLyngeled!https://t.co/QkNvSMLkVK

New stories are incoming!
Accompanying him in this endeavour will be Klaus Lyngeled's Olov Redmalm, another key figure at Zoink Games. The latter had served as game director and screenwriter for Lost in Random, but that's not all: the creative had also voiced Dicey!
The minds behind the creation of Ghost Giant, Fe, Stick it to the Man, and Flipping Death - as well as the aforementioned Lost in Random - are thus leaving Zoink Games to bring Moon Hood to life. The new studio, based in Gothenburg, Sweden, will be responsible for bringing to life video game adventures with a high artistic value, in which we find space for handcrafted aspects, including clay and cardboard creations.

In case you missed it: Resident Evil 4 Remake: news coming soon, according to an insider.
The first artwork offered on Moon Hood's official website suggests adopting a style faithful to the Zoink tradition, proposed at its peak precisely in Lost in Random. The team is already at work on a first game "funded by one of the major platforms" and is seeking additional staff, including developers and programmers. If you are interested in these positions, you can apply here!
