Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, a sequel to the 2022 sci-fi visual novel RPG, launches on January 31st. The game follows a Sleeper, a copy of a human consciousness in an artificial body, who is on the run from cruel corporate owners. Players navigate a dozen asteroid colonies called the Starward Belt, engaging in resource gathering, risky jobs, and forming a family of misfits on a busted-up space ship. The game's core mechanics are based on dice rolls and probability, creating a sense of tension and unpredictability.
Bodies tear, break, grow, shrink, endure, decay. I occasionally think of myself as a sack of skin transporting around a pure, permanent, irreducible self protected from oblivion by its mortal shell but also transcending it. But as I get older, weaker, more tired, the act of self deception, for better and for worse, becomes harder to maintain. The body keeps the score, whether we want to see it or not.
It’s a credit to Sleeper Citizen 2's excellent writing by creator Gareth Damian Martin that, rather than burning me out, the repetition of its resource gathering and the constant tension of things inevitably going sideways keeps me compelled, serving as a richly textured backdrop against which the game’s real concern—a burgeoning family of misfits on a busted-up space ship—takes center stage.
