Toil in the yards, take a break, search markets for important components, grab some street food, make or break alliances, uncover hidden truths, and further cover your tracks and escape those who hunt you. Every cycle you get to choose what you want to do with your time.Now it is held together by anarchic alliances, ramshackle organization, and a shared desire to live outside of corporate control. Rundown, chaotic, and unruly it was founded by idealists right after the corporate collapse. This abandoned station is on the brink of a crisis.You will need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the various factions that rule this station if you hope to survive. Step into the shoes of an escaped worker more specifically a digitized consciousness of a human trapped in an artificial body otherwise known as a sleeper, on the run from the company that owns you, you find yourself on a lawless station at the edge of interplanetary society the Erlin’s Eye, full of colorful inhabitants and dangerous characters. The game’s ability to double your investment in its world as you have another near miss with death is really quite brilliant.Citizen Sleeper is a cyberpunk-themed narrative focus game whose systems are inspired by modern TTRPGs developed by Jump Over The Age known for their previous work on “In Other Waters”. Numerous times I was cetain I’d foresaw a ‘game over’ on the horizon, only for Citizen Sleeper to throw me a curveball and send me on another tangent. The ways in which the storylines unfurl, especially ones involving these ‘dooms’ is Citizen Sleepers greatest strength. You’ll spend your cycles – Citizen Sleeper speak for turns – chatting up the inhabitants of the station, attempting tasks with dice rolls for a cash reward, and juggling a few ever-declining meters, all while dodging an impending doom or two. Dice rolls, character classes, attributes, skills and turn-based actions are all present, but with unique twists here and there.
Inspired by your classic tabletop role-playing games (TTRPG), Citizen Sleeper incorporates many of the staples that define the genre. After the release of In Other Waters in 2020, Citizen Sleeper follows suit as a similarly text-driven adventure in a world brimming with life, though very different mechanically. Go, Sleeper.Ĭitizen Sleeper is the sophormoric game from Jump Over The Age, a studio led solely by British developer Gareth Damian Martin. As a Sleeper, the emulated mind of a body long-lost, you’ll have to work twice as hard to survive on this space station, let alone gain your freedom. A refuge for those escaping the clutches of a capitalistic sytem gone dystopian. After what seems like a lifetime travelling the stillness of space you reach Erlin’s Eye.
