I’ve obviously raved about Citizen Sleeper before, but I had no expectations when I first played. Someone just said it was a bit TTRPG-y, so I went for a look and then lost an entire weekend. There’s just something about rolling dice that gets me…

15:07 pmUTCI loved its take on dice-rolling as well. A very different kind of system to last month’s Game Club pick, Betrayal At Club Low, but applying them to different tasks certainly captured the same kind of thrill.

15:08 pmUTCDez says:I liked that you received a set of dice for a cycle and chose what went where instead of every action being completely unknown. I could place stronger dice on actions where I’d want a better outcome and less dice where it didn’t matter as much.Yes! This was my favourite thing about its action dice, too.

15:09 pmUTCGodwhacker says:It’s alright. For something so reliant on the written word I was hoping for something with a bit more witInteresting! I have to ask: did you encounter the character Neo-Vend?

15:10 pmUTCOverall, I reckon Citizen Sleeper’s writing is very much in the same vein as In Other Waters, which Jump Over The Age made first a couple of years ago. It’s very earnest, but that’s what I like about it. I love the images it conjures, and the way the writing lingers in my brain once I’ve read it.

15:12 pmUTCI_have_no_nose_but_I_must_sneeze says:I played it a few months ago and then revisited it more recently for the DLC, which worked well as a conclusion. It’s probably the most engaging visual novel I’ve played, and a lot of that is thanks to the mechanics of dice rolling, condition maintenance and the representation of the passage of time.Did you manage to complete all three episodes of the DLC? I only managed the first chapter, so still got Refuge and Purge to go!

Using the few dice you get and counting down the cycles to various milestones really makes the limited actions you can take feel precious.

15:17 pmUTCDez says:My Sleeper went through many endings, but I consider only one of them canonical in my playthrough (leaving with Lem & Mina). What were your canonical endings?This was my first ending, and probably still my favourite of the ones I’ve found so far. I did enjoy Bliss / Ankhita’s ending as well though!

Agreed, Lem and Mina is absolutely canon in my mind. The way it describes their journey at the end really pulled on the heartstrings.

15:23 pmUTCI_have_no_nose_but_I_must_sneeze says:Hayden, you mean the cat didn’t reveal its true nature to you? Time for a replay! I’m kidding. Or am I?I could very easily be convinced to replay just in case thereissomething I’m missing. I’m 99% sure the cat is actually some weirdo scientist that transferred their consciousness into their pet or something. They just gave me a “I’m actually a hooman” vibe.

15:23 pmUTCDez says:@Katharine, I had difficulty forgiving Ankhita…Interesting! For me, I felt like Ankhita’s initial storyline resolved slightly unsatisfactorily for me - I thought I’d biffed it, and that I’d made a mistake in how I handled it. So it was nice to see her again and get some closure this month. I might have also slightly forgotten exactly what went down with her when I played through her storyline last year, but sssh).Either way, I did play out both sides of her ending, and found both of them to offer the right kind of full stop on everything.

15:27 pmUTCGodwhacker says:I did find Neo-Vend; the Hunter / Killer stuff a bit interesting but a bit shallow. Universal Paperclips I feel deals with the same subject matter in a more interesting way, and that game was mostly intended as a jokeI agree that the Hunter/Killer stuff lacked something. I usually found it disruptive actually, like it was interrupting the stuff I really wanted to focus on. It hooked me more towards the end of that storyline, but early on it didn’t really keep my attention.

15:28 pmUTCI_have_no_nose_but_I_must_sneeze says:Regarding endings, I always chose to stay behind and fight for my place on the Eye. I enjoyed developing a network of contacts that I could perhaps someday call friends. There is the allure of new ventures in outer space, yet here I remain.Yes, I did feel a pang of regret about leaving all my cool friends behind when I did Lem and Mina’s ending. I almost wish there was an option to initiate a kind of farewell dialogue option before upping sticks…

15:29 pmUTCDez says:Plus outer space adventures start with a long travel time. Stay on the Eye and one can continue having immediate adventures. Up to a point, I suppose. But leave for places beyond, and you’re on a ship for a long time.A looooooong long time in Lem and Mina’s case, too!

It felt like a disservice to my story, like I was overwriting the real ending, so I pushed myself to start again to experience the new content.

I felt like Lem and Mina’s ending put a neat full stop on my time with Citizen Sleeper, so to go back and choosenotto go with them felt weird and strange. In the end, though, I was glad to carry on, as I really did in fact want to spend more time with everyone else.

15:40 pmUTCGodwhacker says:I don’t recall anyone on the station ever saying that “Sleepers” were ethically bad or that they’d voted in favour of outlawing iSlavesThat’s an interesting point, people don’t really acknowledge the ethics of it. I quite like that, though? Everyone just seems very welcoming to the idea of you ditching your body and wants to help you get away from the bad corpo that’s on the hunt.I really like the concept of Sleepers. I think it centers the conflict between wanting to escape ‘the system’ and our reliance on it to survive, it’s something I latched onto to tie myself to my Sleeper and put a little bit of my personality in them.

But the devs did alsotweetthis the other day, so ??? Tune in to cheery RPS fanzine PC Gamer’s PC Gaming Show next weekend to find out, I guess! I certainly will be!

15:49 pmUTCGodwhacker says:Is there any way to resolve the need to inject the Space Steroids every few days?Not as far as I’m aware, alas, although I think having this as an ongoing tension (along with your energy levels) is integral to its sense of risk-and-reward with your dice rolls. If you always had five dice all the time, I think the game would lose a lot of the weight behind your decision making.

Could there be multiple Sleepers from the same human?I guess it must be! Every now and then the game will remind me of my Sleeper’s original body still being locked away somewhere, and I wonder what Essen-Arp will eventually do with it…
