About this game
Citizen Sleeper is a narrative RPG about a human consciousness living in an artificial body, pursued by the corporation that owns it. On the space station Erlin's Eye, each cycle gives you dice to use when deciding how to spend your time. You earn your keep, build relationships and choose which inhabitants to help. Dice also become tools for hacking the station's cloud, opening access to new areas and secrets. Your choices unfold within a science-fiction story concerned with insecurity, personhood and freedom. Both supplied console editions include FLUX, REFUGE and PURGE, additional episodes that extend the late-game story with new characters and locations.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A thoughtful fit for players who enjoy making everyday choices matter within a science-fiction story.
Using each cycle's dice while deciding whom to help could tie personal relationships to practical priorities. That combination is most promising for players who enjoy narrative decisions shaped by available actions rather than complete freedom of execution.
Strengths
- Assigning a cycle's dice can give everyday priorities a concrete decision-making framework.
- Choosing whom to help may make relationships feel like commitments expressed through actions.
Weaknesses
- Players who want to act without adapting to allotted dice may find this structure restrictive.
Who it is for: Readers of character-led science fiction who enjoy planning actions and deciding whose needs to prioritise.
