You are the product of an abusive system, in a universe where humanity’s expansion is marked by exploitation and extraction. Essen-Arp: to them you are just property, one more asset in a portfolio that stretches across the stars.

Corporate secrets, rogue AIs and troves of lost data await those willing to dive into the depths of the station’s networks. This is your unique power, and with it you can change your future. Hack into the station’s cloud to access decades of digital data, uncover new areas and unlock secrets.

You choose which of them you wish to help, and together you will shape your future. Salvagers, engineers, hackers, bartenders, street-food vendors, each has a history which brought them here. The station plays host to characters from all walks of life, trying to eke out an existence among the stars. Learn to survive and ultimately thrive, one cycle at a time. Make or break alliances, uncover truths and escape those that hunt you. Search the markets for rare components or grab some street food. Every cycle you get up and choose what to do with your time. Now it is held together by anarchic alliances, ramshackle factions and a shared desire to be free from the gravity of corporate control. Run down, chaotic, unruly, and alive-it was founded by idealists in the shadow of a corporate collapse. An abandoned station on the edge of a system in crisis. Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle.

You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back. From the developer of In Other Waters, and featuring the stunning character art of Guillaume Singelin, Citizen Sleeper is a narrative RPG set on Erlin’s Eye, a ruined space station that is home to thousands of people trying to survive on the edges of an interstellar capitalist society.
