Citizen Sleeper, the really promising new game by In Other Waters developer Jump Over the Age, will be released 5th May.
Excitingly, it’ll be available day-one on Xbox Game Pass, on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. It’ll also be available on PC from a number of stores (Steam, GOG, Epic, Humble), and – this just in – Nintendo Switch. There’s no PlayStation version, sadly.
I played a demo of Citizen Sleeper recently and was impressed. It’s a mash-up of a board game and an RPG. There’s a lot of descriptive text and dialogue choices, as you’d get in an RPG, and there’s levelling up and skills and that kind of thing. But it all plays out in a turn-based, board game kind of way, and quite a lot of what you can do depends on dice you roll at the beginning of each turn. It takes a bit of getting used to.
