This is a gorgeous, rewarding, and brilliantly-written sci-fi RPG with poignant characters and a depth of meaning; I wish there were many more experiences like this one. It's a bit like Disco Elysium (from the lengthy writing to the dice-based gameplay), but much more compact and immediately gripping in a way that Disco Elysium wasn't for me.

Under the grime and sweat of a harsh, capitalistic state, Citizen Sleeper is also ultimately an RPG that dares to be hopeful. It isn't a perfect game, but it is one of the only games I've ever walked away from with hot tears in my eyes, feeling awestruck and grateful to be alive.
