Citizen Sleeper

神一般的音乐+一流的写作和剧本+很不错的美术+合格的游戏设计 推荐给所有科幻爱好者~

Incredible game. The writing, the music, the art, the gameplay loop... it's the full package. The only people who should avoid this are people afraid of a little text, but they certainly won't be reading this review. That means you, dear reader, have no excuse. Play this.

Citizen Sleeper pairs simplistic and repetitive mechanisms with a downright primitive world view. The game is populated exclusively by moustache-twirling villains and uwu smol beans being oppressed. No moral quandaries. No halftones. No stakes or sacrifices, either. You do the "Right Thing" (tm), thus cementing your position on the "Right Side of History" (tm). And then everybody claps.

the woke propaganda actually somewhat detracts from the game as a whole

精彩的科幻作品，包含让人惊叹的文笔和内容，还有同样不逊色的美术和音乐。 是个有类似桌游游戏性的选择取向多结局剧情游戏。 一周目到处摸索（[spoiler]找不到怎么补状态缝缝补补又蠕过一个循环[/spoiler]）很有意思，二周目熟练了火力全开推结局还是好玩。 虽然打完一周目把它放在值得玩二周目列表里了，但是一个月内就又掏出来玩了其实在我的意料之外。推其余结局的热情竟然能克服我的拖延症，说不定这才是最让我惊叹的地方。哈哈。

Bad writing. This game is "they/them" woke trash. Rather than tell a compelling story, the developer used it as an extension of his own pathological perversions.

its a chill game to play but many of the quests i couldn't complete late game because they were inaccessible and tracking missions didn't help you locate them. It also had slight political propaganda that was pro-refugee and tried to make the player feel bad if he didn't side with flooding the space station with refugees on flotillas. The flotilla was also ran by what looked like a transsexual and a black woman. The game also was very simplistic I feel like i could have an AI create something similar in about a week worth of work.

Citizen Sleeper A narrative-heavy RPG centered around a pre-rolled dice mechanic, timers, and absolutely wonderful writing and deeply evocative character art all paired up with an absolutely immersive and pleasing soundtrack. This, unfortunately; must be a short review, given that the game is almost entirely narrative, and its gameplay approaches something resembling 'Disco Elysium but with more resource management'. Perhaps that is why the gameplay speaks to me as much as it does. See, every 'cycle' of the game (Each day, functionally speaking), your set of five dice are pre-rolled. One to six. It is up to you, then, how you think to best distribute your five dice that cycle. It speaks to me- because it is precisely what normal life *is.* Some days, you wake up, and you are just in a miserable, pained state. You're going to have no energy, and you know it, and sometimes? You just have to go "♥♥♥♥ it, we're phoning it in and only getting some easy stuff done today." And other days? You're up, you're full of energy, and you know you're going to kick ass. And that is why Citizen Sleeper's pre-rolled dice system works so much for me. It feels deeply human, in a game about a robot which has developed an independence consciousness and what it chooses to do with that newfound humanity. (Obviously; there is far, far more story and depth to the main character, but speaking any further would be spoiling it!) The rest of the gameplay mostly revolves around managing a list of resources at the bottom of your screen. Money, medicine, little bits and pieces that other characters need, your own hunger- and it's all compounded with an independent timer mechanic that quite a few quests often have. The timer is- admittedly, very generous, but it's not so generous that you can completely ignore it for more than 2-3 cycles. I find that any quest that has a timer is almost never a massive issue as long as you didn't start the quest starving, injured, and completely broke. The writing- it is absolutely wonderful. Characters feel human, flawed, troubled- they're all trying to live through the often-desperate situations they've been put in, some are struggling; others thrive. Some keep themselves positive even in the roughest, while others wallow in despair and fear. Character writing has genuinely never been as good as it has with Citizen Sleeper. The character art is phenomenal. Practically at a singular glance, you can tell so much about so many of these characters. How they act, whether they're privileged or downtrodden, whether they're friendly and honest; or pragmatic and untrustworthy. Whether they're struggling and wracked with fear and secrets, or if they've got nothing but love for everyone around them. This game is wholly evocative. And the best part? There's Citizen Sleeper 2, and it's just as good- better, even.
