Good morning from North Yorkshire!

Amazing light today. Pulled over at the side of the road to get these.

An amazing game about survival, friendship and dice rolls

What a game! I would not have predicted at the beginning of this year that one of my favourite games, probably ever, would be interactive science fiction with dice rolls. From the moment Citizen Sleeper starts the writing grabs you. It is warm but doesn't pull its punches, is challenging but not brutally so and I've felt like I had real agency in the story which I think is the greatest trick any RPG/ narrative driven game can pull off. I am invested in all the threads I'm pursuing at the moment and don't feel punished by any that I'm choosing not to be a part of. I have also loved the way that as the story has unfolded and in some cases some unfortunate things have happened, I was able to find solace in doing something that made me feel better in character afterwards. And there's a cat! I've made friends, sorta, with a cat! Ohh and the music! It's amazing too! :)

There are 2 DLCs available now and a third one coming in the new year which will see me return to this mixed up station floating in the blackness of space.

Also, I have been looking for a community of folks to hang out with on Tumblr and was delighted to find my sleepers (is that what fans of this game call ourselves?) on Tumblr.

The game is 25% off on Steam right now as well as being available on Switch and Xbox.
