No more heroes
One of my absolute favourite elements ofCitizen Sleeperis how you essentially play as a nobody.
They now find themselves on a dishevelled space station called Erlin’s Eye, desperate and alone.
A single grain of sand in a vast desert.
The Eye is an unruly backwater station on the edges of a complex solar system.
It’s the kind of place where folks who have nowhere else to go get washed up.
Its a shitty situation but even in this seemingly hopeless place, you’ll find kindness.
A tattooed, burly food vendor gives you a free meal before you both become fast friends.
Its how Citizen Sleeper cleverly grounds its hyper-capitalist future in the present.
These are real issues that people face today.
And theyre nobodies too!
I’m tired of save-the-world, defeat-the-big-bad, shooty-shooty sci-fi, I want whatever Citizen Sleeper is doing.
Like no more heroes, you know?
More of that just and thank you.
Wanna chat all things Citizen Sleeper with some RPS treehouse pals?
