What type of RPG is Citizen Sleeper?
According to the devs, Citizen Sleeper is a sci-fi narrative game that has a heavy focus on story and worldbuilding. Players will take control of a digitized human known as a Sleeper. Stranded on an abandoned space station, the ultimate goal of the game is to establish relationships with the thousands of other survivors and evade being captured by a mysterious enemy known as The Man who works for the corporation that originally built you.
Citizen Sleeper blends traditional role-playing elements with tabletop games to help give users more freedom to choose their path. This includes using action dice and ticking clocks that keep a track of everything you do. The game will include a soundtrack by Amos Roddy and features the same talent who created the critically acclaimed In Other Waters for Nintendo Switch and PC.
