The people you encounter tend to be beaten down by a cruel and uncaring existence, and they tend to treat your character with a somewhat dismissive attitude, even when they are sympathetic to your plight, especially considering your very existence as a runaway Sleeper means that your impending death is more or less a certainty.
Having said that, this is cold in its atmosphere. With very little visual content to fill in the gaps, much of the presentation here absolutely depends on the game’s writing, and that writing is thankfully very much up to the task. However, if you can appreciate good writing, this game has it in spades. In other words, if reading isn’t your jam, this probably will not be a game for you. You will spend lengthy amount of time in this game reading through paragraphs of florid prose describing your surroundings, the various characters you encounter, as well as your own physical and mental state, such as they are. Most of this is conveyed through text - the majority of your interactions with the game will be text-based. Condemned to a life of corporate servitude, the game starts with players arriving at the space station Erlin’s Eye, having just escaped from slavery and scrounging for a means to survive against the ticking clock of a body designed to fail without the proprietary drugs the company uses to keep its sleepers alive… and dependent.Īs you can probably tell from that opening paragraph, Citizen Sleeper is a game that takes place in a world rich with lore and atmosphere.
Taking place in a dystopian future, Citizen Sleeper puts players in the role of a titular Sleeper, a digitized consciousness in an artificial humanoid body.
Citizen Sleeper, released on PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in 2022, is a game with gameplay that sits somewhere in the crux between Visual Novel, RPG, and Graphic Adventure.
