Random Play is a video store in New Eridu, as well as the home of the MCs.

The official release promises a significantly expanded city filled with new places to explore and secrets to uncover. The familiar Sixth Street, home to our protagonists, has received a major expansion. But that’s not all — a brand new district called Lumina Square awaits your exploration.
