Citizen Sleeper Review

Citizen Sleeper is a story-focused RPG seeking to replicate the narrative freedom of tabletop titles. Players take on the role of a Sleeper, an artificial human who now must learn to survive while on the run from the corporate overlords. To gain their freedom, players will need to find allies among the inhabitants of Erlin’s Eye all while grinding away at whatever work the player can find to feed their most basic needs for survival.
Story

Citizen Sleeper is a well written game. The game is not very long as a full run clocks in at three to five hours. Yet the writers crafted reasonably well fleshed out world filled with a colourful cast of characters in such a short time. The writers make effective use of their limited space by taking a cast of standard sci-fi characters, like the battle-hardened mercenary and the back-alley doctor, and giving them their own motivations and drives so the interaction with the player feels more like a mutual transaction versus someone being dragged along for a ride.

Overall

Citizen Sleeper is a very good narrative heavy game that is just about the right length. The world is rich, and the story is enjoyable. The gameplay loop, pacing, and balance is solid. It only starts to come apart at the seams at the very end of the game. The audio/visual experience is pleasant and delivers the game in a clean, slick package. Citizen Sleeper is absolutely worth a look for fans of RPGs and visual novels who want to try something a little off the beaten path.

Score: 8/10 - While the game mechanics starts to lose its pacing at the very end, Citizen Sleeper offers a great story rich experience for fans of narrative heavy games and the sci-fi genre.
