Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a narrative-driven science-fiction RPG in which players take on the role of a Sleeper, an artificial human. Using a tabletop-inspired dice system, players manage resources, make difficult choices, and build relationships while seeking a new life among the settlements of the Starward Belt. Expanding on the original game, the sequel introduces a customizable ship, recruitable crew members, and high-risk contracts that require planning and adaptation. Player choices, character classes, and skill-based interactions shape both the story and the path forward.

Very happy to reveal that Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector has been nominated for a 🚀Hugo! 🚀
I grew up reading Hugo winners and nominees, and many previously nominated and awarded books are among my biggest inspirations! www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history...

It didn't work quite so well for me as the first game, but I really enjoyed my time with Citizen Sleeper 2. There's still plenty of great characters, there's dozens of interesting story threads to follow, the music's all lovely. Its conception of people as constant states of becoming, as creatures of growth and decay in equally necessary measure, was immensely moving for me as someone who's just now starting her own inevitable decline. And the space cat is world-class fantastic.
If crew members didn't feel like they ceased to exist outside their personal quests, and if the dominant strategy for winning missions didn't actively contradict most of the game's themes, I think CS2 could've been an all-timer. But there's value in flawed stories, too.

This is a pretty small potatoes complaint, but it sucks that the Operator's special ability is actively harmful to use most of the time on hard difficulty, even when fully upgraded. Feels like choosing anything but the Machinist for your class is purely a mistake, their ability to keep their stress level in check and avoid breaking dice far outstrips …

Feels like choosing anything but the Machinist for your class is purely a mistake, their ability to keep their stress level in check and avoid breaking dice far outstrips everyone else's.

Still just starting out, but basically every new character I've met so far, I see their portrait and think "oh this dude rules, what's their deal?" Which is a good sign, I think.
Having the whole game be set in zero-g, with all the characters needing to strap whatever's most important to them to their person to keep it from …

Having the whole game be set in zero-g, with all the characters needing to strap whatever's most important to them to their person to keep it from floating away, is such a cool way to hint at their murky histories.

I liked the first game a lot, but I'm already way more in on this sequel. Going more character/story focused is a huge improvement and the actual mechanics have more going on now as well. Just did my first Contract and barely scraped by under the wire, it felt really tense.

Amos Roddy released another single from Citizen Sleeper 2 this past weekend and like the previous tracks, I can’t stop listening to it. The game drops right when I’m moving to a new place so it’s going to be my reward for getting everything packed up, moved over and unpacked that weekend.

I've seen a few Citizen Sleeper 2 articles pop up in the last few days and I thought it meant the games was coming out sooner than I expected. False hope, it's still early 2025, which is probably for the best because there are already too many games in 2024.

Trailer for this is coming out on the 9th, apparently! Positively can't wait, I adore the first game.
