I started this today, I'm not sure if I did something wrong by not getting the medicine as soon as I could, I thought I would be able to have this amount again. It looks like I might not survive.

This is exciting: Jump Over the Age released a tabletop version of Citizen Sleeper on itch.io. And it's free. The distribution is a PDF and you can print everything out yourself for gameplay.

As long as Lem and Mina can get an opportunity to move somewhere else to start anew, I'm fine with whatever happens to me.

How have I slept on this.

I thought it was an angry sci fi romp, akin to The Ascent. A notion assumed strictly from the choice of title font.

Sleepers pace, style, and emotional depth keep me within its airlock. Reluctant to be born back into the real world but better for it each time.

I am so incredibly addicted to this game. I literally have to force myself to stop to sleep.

I was a bit hesitant to give it 5 stars due to it falling a bit simple and repetitive when it comes to gameplay mechanics. However, with its outstanding writing, atmosphere, and its amazingly relatable characters I had to.

Don't make me take care of a child. Video games don't need to be escapism, but a game can't force parenting on me. I already do that in real life!

Just found out that this was developed by a one-person studio. I'll be adding Gareth Damian Martin to my mental list of game devs i admire, in the solo-dev shelf next to Toby Fox, Zeekers and Daniel Mullins. Now i have some faith that Citizen Sleeper 2 could be a legendary game on par with Undertale and Inscryption!

It's been a while since i've felt so immersed in a game. The art is superb, the writing is touching, the setting is fenomenal... it's got it all, a very well-rounded experience. Haven't finished it yet, but i've already recommended it to all my friends :) games this good deserve more attention.

Couldn't get into the stories. Maybe just heavy text dialog games aren't for me.

Lots of characters, plotlines, and quests were hard to keep track of.

Game has illusion permadeath which maybe makes sense but feels a little cheap.
