Citizen Sleeper is a single-player, tabletop-inspired narrative RPG set on Erlin’s Eye, a battered space station where residents struggle to get by. You inhabit a sleeper, a human consciousness housed in an artificial body and claimed by a corporation. Staying alive means finding work, forming connections and choosing which people to support as you shape a future on the station.
Its play revolves around dice, clocks and drives. In each cycle, you roll the dice available to you and assign them to activities around the station. Clocks record your own progress alongside developments elsewhere, while drives let you follow stories that interest you instead of a fixed quest sequence. Your decisions influence five skills, and dice can also be used to enter the station’s cloud network, where data and secrets await. This structure makes routine tasks, alliances and personal priorities part of the same ongoing role-playing experience.
The focus is on how one player spends time and builds relationships as the station’s circumstances change from cycle to cycle. The listing also notes that the game includes three DLC episodes, adding characters and places to Erlin’s Eye and extending its story.
