Citizen Sleeper
Some visual novels feel like they should just be books, and some games feel like a neat set of tricks in search of a reason to exist. Citizen Sleeper—a futuristic narrative-driven RPG about the working class on a space station—is the rare game that marries long scrolls of poignant, introspective text with a gripping and beautifully rendered set of rules for governing how they unfurl. Plenty of games know how to alienate you from the work of playing them. Citizen Sleeper makes the toil into a better way of understanding yourself.
