You are a Sleeper — a human consciousness digitised and installed in an artificial body by the Essen-Arp corporation, who regard you as property. You have escaped. You have ended up on Erlin's Eye, a decommissioned space station at the margins of an interstellar economy, where the salvagers, engineers, hackers and outcasts who call it home have no particular interest in handing you back. You need to eat. Your body is degrading. Someone will come looking. For now, you survive one cycle at a time.

Citizen Sleeper is a TTRPG-inspired narrative RPG that uses dice, clocks and drives as its core mechanical language. At the start of each cycle the player rolls a pool of dice, then assigns them to actions across the station — working a shift, talking to a contact, hacking a system, searching a derelict corridor. Higher dice succeed easily; lower dice risk failure or partial outcomes. Clocks track progress across multi-stage tasks and storylines. Drives replace traditional quests, letting the player follow the relationships and situations that matter rather than an objective marker. Five skills (Engineer, Interface, Endure, Intuit, Engage) grow through use and unlock perks that change how the station responds. The writing, by Gareth Damian Martin, is precise, humane and deeply rooted in the experience of precarious work and survival. Character artwork by Guillaume Singelin gives every inhabitant of the Eye an immediately distinctive visual presence. All three DLC episodes — FLUX, REFUGE and PURGE — are now included at no additional cost. The sequel, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, was released 31 January 2025.
