Citizen Sleeper 2, launching on January 31, continues the story of an android protagonist in a dystopian setting, exploring themes of desperation and survival against a backdrop of war and capitalism. Developer Gareth Damian Martin emphasizes that the game reflects tensions relevant to the present rather than a distant future. With mechanics involving rolling dice and managing stress, players face unique challenges that mirror their characters' struggles. The game intertwines personal narratives with broader social issues, making each decision impactful amidst the chaos of a sci-fi universe.
"I'm not really ever thinking about the future, I'm really twisting and emphasizing or making more palpable tensions that I feel in the present."
"Citizen Sleeper 2 unfolds on the shores of war, with distant battles rumbling through the immediate concerns of the protagonist and allies."
"Each day you roll five dice, so low rolling dice are kind of important in the game, to not be something that you can easily use efficiently."
"In Citizen Sleeper 2, the system has been expanded to model trauma—dice break if you get too stressed, requiring costly resources to repair."
