INSIDELEFT | Citizen Sleeper: A Game about Precarity, Mushrooms And Community @INSIDELEFT | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 minutes ago.
Citizen Sleeper is a triumph of narrative, characters and themed game mechanics, but its also a lot more.
Join me as I 'have a think' about the setting, politics and themes of this fantastic little game, and expand upon what is so fascinating about its concepts and lessons!
Its a Citizen Sleeper review of sorts I suppose, looking at the gameplay and nuts and bolts of its creation, as well as exploring the inspirations of game creator Gareth Damian Martin of 'Jump Over The Age' games.
As AAA games continue to flounder whilst chasing your money, games like this, and others from publisher 'Fellow Traveller' explore far more interesting waters than their well funded contemporaries.
This game is even on Xbox Gamepass, so if you are an xbox or PC player, there is a good chance you can play this for free!
The DLCs are free too!
Anyway thats enough gushing for now!
Watch the vid, play the game, and join me in waiting for Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector :D
