Except you don’t know what a human should be you only have an idea about the experience. Instead, you’re a robot possessing memories that feel like yours, but you know aren't yours at all. Imagine waking up, cold and void of real life, just a shell of what you know a human to be. That escape scenario is fine, and it sets up the stakes of Citizen Sleeper quite well, but the idea that you are a copy of your real self, who sold you to work for a mega-corp, is a concept I can’t get out of my head. However, you’ve escaped, and now the suits want you back. The real you sold their consciousness to a mega-corporation (we’re talking a Blade Runner cyberpunk corporation here) so that they could use it, in an artificial body, to work for them. You are a Sleeper, a digitized consciousness implanted into an artificial body – basically a robot with someone else's mind. last night, and I grouchily put myself to bed, desperate to play more, because I’m a responsible adult sometimes. Instead of trying to sell you on all that right now, let me tell you the premise of Citizen Sleeper, which damn near sent me into an existential spiral and immediately captured my interest.
None of this adds up to something you can picture in your head, right? That’s what I went through when I read the description of it on Game Pass, and the curious confusion you’re (hopefully) feeling is what I was feeling after reading various tweets calling Citizen Sleeper a great game.
