when I went into this game, I thought I was gonna abandon it out of being overwhelmed or getting bored with the game.
Oh I was wrong. I fell in love with it.
something about it that despite the difficulties and challenges made me adore it as well as the stories within it.
playing this kind of feels like its got a bunch of concepts that remind me of the Buddhism's 3 marks of existence:
Dukkha: unease, suffering
Anicca: impermanence
Anattā: non-self; living things have no permanent immanent soul or essence
so this game could arguably be a Buddhist game despite being sad at points and not even mentioning Buddha at all.
its part of the reason why I am gonna be playing this again and wish listed the next game in the series on Steam.

Profoundly moving story of survival and science fiction when you're poor. Played for the podcast.

I really enjoyed the world building and sense of community that this game tells in its story and characters. The relationships you make and the way they intertwine with each other depending on who you meet is really cool. All of the endings were well done, and most of them were very descriptive in the way they talked about freedom and letting go respectively. Overall, I enjoyed playing and exploring the world and its characters and trying to stop corruption from many angles. Helping all of the people in the Eye is really fulfilling, and leaving with them helps put a nice bow on the story.
I just finished Citizen Sleeper. It was really nice. A mostly text based narrative adventure but with dice rolls for actions, and a cool sci-fi sort of cyberpunk setting. Looks like it had multiple ways to finish it also. I'd recommend it for sure. Took me under 7 hrs to finish. Nice soundtrack also.
I think of this game often. I remember the choices, the ending, sure.
But most often I think about sitting at a food cart, watching mushrooms cook. A welcome rest in a world that seemed to have no place for me.
