The game unfolds across Erlin’s Eye, a ramshackle space station that’s the victim of late-late-stage capitalism. Your body is designed with “planned obsolescence,” and you must take a proprietary kind of medicine to stay alive. In Citizen Sleeper, you role-play as a Sleeper, a character who’s not quite human and not quite machine, but entirely owned by the megacorp Essen-Arp. But it’s also a great excuse to start this melancholic game for the first time - it left an impression on me and is still one of the best releases of the year. If you loved Citizen Sleeper, the text-heavy sci-fi RPG, then the game’s new free DLC, Episode One: Flux, will be a welcome addition it adds tough new story decisions while also deepening the well of wonderful world-building and vivid characters.
