![]() Ranging from upbeat to more mellow tracks, Citizen Sleeper’s score adds to the atmosphere and Roddy has become one of my favourite video game soundtrack composers already.Īs such, even if Citizen Sleeper is devoid of fancy visuals, its presentation is fleshed out with the narrative design and unique soundscape.īeyond the presentation, this title also stands out through its mechanics which is inspired by TTRPG with dice rolls, timed events and upgradeable skills. Having played and loved their first game, I was looking forward to playing their new game and Citizen Sleeper was worth the wait as an aficionado of narrative-driven games.Ĭitizen Sleeper brings back In Other Water’s Amos Roddy for the game’s soundtrack and Roddy hits the sweet spot again. This extensive narration somewhat characterises Jump Over The Age’s developer Gareth Damian Martin following their previous title In Other Waters and I’m here for it. Simple scenes like a street food vendor preparing his meal or the description when you come across a new structure are depicted in such evocative ways that it feels engrossing. Playing through almost feels like reading a novel (so a visual novel comparison wouldn’t be too far off). What Citizen Sleeper lacks in terms of visuals and animation is compensated by the very eloquent and descriptive text.
