No time for nodding off, Sleeper
If you’re unfamiliar,Citizen Sleeperis a tabletop-inspired role-playing adventure that released earlier this year for PC, Mac, Switch, and Xbox. It follows a Sleeper, which is an artificial body and consciousness essentially copied over from another person for labor.
As the Sleeper, you’re on the run from a corporation and find yourself on Erlin’s Eye, a station filled with wayward souls and outcasts on the fringe of occupied space. Much of the game is about surviving day to day, trying to maintain a failing body while figuring out what to do next, and how.
It’s an extremely captivating experience that I haven’t been able to get out of my headsince I reviewed it. It’s a wonderful mix of storytelling, tension, and tabletop mechanics. So it’s safe to say I’m interested in what Jump Over The Age and Fellow Traveller are doing with these follow-up episodes.
The firstCitizen SleeperDLC episode,FLUX, goes live for free on all platforms on July 28.
