September 09, 2022 Spoilercast - Citizen Sleeper
It’s finally time to talk openly about one of our favourite games of the year.
Calum wasn’t available, so Euan has drafted in friend of the site, and narrative game connoisseur, Vaida to talk about the world of The Eye, the incredible characters we meet there, and just how well this game uses mechanics from tabletop games to add to the storytelling.
This is a spoilercast, so we talk openly about the events of the plot of Citizen Sleeper and it’s first expansion. If you have not played the game yet it’s highly recommended that you go do that and then come back for this conversation
Citizen Sleeper is out now for PC (Steam, GOG, Epic), Game Pass, and Switch right now. The first free update is also out now, with two more updates coming in October and 2023.
Vaida can be found on Twitter @underskinnyhrt and their games can be played at https://vaidap.itch.io/.
