Citizen Sleeper

Citizen Sleeper is a narrative-driven sci-fi RPG set on the fringes of space, where you play as a sleeper—a digitized human consciousness trapped in an artificial body. Created by the ruthless Essen-Arp corporation, you’ve escaped their grip, but they want you back—and they’ll stop at nothing to reclaim their property.

To survive on the massive, lawless space station known as the Eye, you’ll need to forge relationships, navigate a society built on scraps and systems, and endure the relentless pull of time, resource scarcity, and corporate pursuit.

A Tabletop RPG-Inspired Experience

Citizen Sleeper uses systems inspired by tabletop role-playing games:

• Dice rolls determine your effectiveness each cycle.
• Watches track time and the looming threats around you.
• Disks represent tasks, contracts, and choices that shape your story.

At the start of every cycle, you roll dice to assign actions—do you work for food, help a friend, investigate secrets, or run from those hunting you? Every decision matters, and time is always running out.

A Living Station

The Eye is home to a patchwork society of drifters, hackers, vendors, engineers, and fugitives—each with their own stories and motives. Whether they become allies, threats, or something in between depends on your actions. The more you engage, the more the Eye reveals its hidden layers of conflict, survival, and resistance.

Hack the Cloud

As you evolve, you’ll learn to access and manipulate the station’s digital layer, using your abilities to breach encrypted systems, uncover lost data, and interact with rogue AIs. This becomes your edge in a world designed to control and exploit.

A Story About Power, Control, and Identity

Beneath its mechanics, Citizen Sleeper is a story about:

• Escaping corporate ownership
• Defining your own identity
• Choosing freedom over survival—or the other way around

You are not just trying to live—you are fighting to become more than a product, in a future where capitalism reaches into consciousness itself.

Will you build a new life on the Eye, or be dragged back into the system that created you? In this haunting and hopeful sci-fi journey, every cycle is a chance to define who you are.
