An indie game you may have heard about last year was Citizen Sleeper — a narrative-driven RPG that popped up on several Game of the Year shortlists. Released last year to critical acclaim, publisher Fellow Traveller has now announced a port to PS5 and PS4.
As detailed on the PS Blog, the game was mostly made by one person under the studio name Jump Over the Age. The game takes inspiration from tabletop RPGs, with dice rolls playing a big part in how you approach each day aboard a large space station. After rolling your dice, you can choose where to play them, with higher rolls resulting in better outcomes.
You can prioritise whatever you like — making an honest living working shifts, investigating some conspiracy, or getting to know a range of interesting characters. It looks to be a pretty text-heavy game, with the storyline very much leading the way, and we imagine repeat playthroughs will give you various results as you explore all the branching possibilities.
As well as the base game, the PS5 and PS4 release will also include the three DLC chapters, so it's the complete package coming to Sony's systems.
We're excited to see what all the fuss is about when Citizen Sleeper arrives on 31st March. Will you be checking this one out? Take a nap in the comments section below.

Nice. This and Vampire Survivors are top of my most wanted indie games.
I'm definitely interested, rolling dice gives me Disco Elysium vibes if it's only half as good then I am all in
I just finished this game on Game Pass last week. It is good. There is not much gameplay and it is mostly reading text and rolling dice. But if you like narrative games, Citizen Sleeper is a journey worth taking.
@AdamNovice vampire survivors is amazing ,I didn't think I would like it by the looks alone ....I couldn't stop playing and got the dlc for it ,got all the achievements and still play it a lot
That game should b classed as a drug lol
I hope they’ll add more languages some time in the future, if not mods here I go 😌
Keeping the CRPG alive.
great game, beautiful OST
@AdamNovice hi ADF, citizen sleeper is a gem. Luckily this version includes the dlc which is a god send. The base game, although fantastic, is a tad lightweight. It has multiple endings and the writing is first class. It can be played over a few nights and although it won't win any goty awards or live long in the memory - is a great journey nonetheless.
My honest opinion is the base gameplay ideas and implementation are there but it needs a grander scale and a couple of extra mini games for any sequel.
I played this on Xbox last year via Game Pass, and loved it. Just a fascinating story with a lot of paths to take. I haven't played the DLC (I don't think?) so I may give it another runthrough.
