Although I have been spoiled by similar games, such like Disco Elysium and This War of Mine, which managed to tug at the very core of who I thought myself to be, Citizen Sleeper felt more like a reaffirming reminder that perhaps now I am a made human, with a path and character I am happy with. The endings I managed to get feel so close to me specifically: the Gardener one and the Lem and Mina one. I got so invested in these that I'm not sure I'd even want to go check the other ones, at least not right now.

But I am perfectly satisfied with that, I think this game has storylines so distinct that, should you find joy in its simple survival elements, they all have the potential to elicit this great warmth that I have felt. I think achieving an array of possible paths as good as these is a great achievement, and even with the art style and music being great, this range and level of empathy is Citizen Sleeper's best quality.
