But using your mind powers like this isn't always a safe thing to do, and you will soon discover there are things that will hunt you in your mind as well as out of it. Helping you uncover the secrets of the world are your innate hacking abilities, which allow you to liberate sensitive information for your - and other people's - benefit. There's a very definite theme of capitalism here and parallels with the real world. Freed, you - the cyborg - begin to question all that's around you and your place in it. It tells the story of a kind of slave cyborg waking up from the control of its corporate master, which then tries to reclaim it. It takes a bit of getting used to.īut when you do (and it doesn't take long), Citizen Sleeper starts to stretch out and occupy the deeper parts of your mind. 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. 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. It's a mash-up of a board game and an RPG. I played a demo of Citizen Sleeper recently and was impressed.
