This one's been getting a ton of praise for its writing and strong, political narrative. I found that praise to be justified. At times, I found how effectively the game presented its space-faring capitalist dystopia to be so biting that it shook me to my core, and made me want to put the controller down. And I can't say enough good things about the other aspects of the production - the artwork, and the synthwave-inspired soundtrack. All of this perfectly sets the ambience for the kind of stories Citizen Sleeper is going to tell.

But as a game? I can't really say that I had a lot of fun, and I'm not sure why. I read a lot. I love Persona. I've never played a tabletop game, but I'm interested in them. Still, something about the whole package failed to click until way too late, and I spent most of my playthrough just kind of doing random things without much deliberation. Though, I think the game would greatly reward that second, more informed playthrough.
