The RPS Game Club pick for May is Citizen Sleeper

rockpapershotgun.com:

After an excellent discussion about dice and pizza making last week in our Betrayal At Club Low liveblog, we've decided (that is, I have decided) to stick with the dice-rolling theme this month to crown the excellent Citizen Sleeper as our next pick for the RPS Game Club. We named Jump Over The Age's dystopian RPG one of our favourite games of 2022 last year, and seeing as the game is also celebrating its first anniversary this month, it's the perfect time to return the rag-tag world of Erlin's Eye.

Citizen Sleeper casts you as one of its titular Sleeper androids who's on the run from an enormous megacorp. They've been indentured there for most of their life, but now they've found refuge in the half-ruined remains of a space station known as Erlin's Eye, and it's here that you'll gradually eke out a new life for your Sleeper by throwing dice and using them to perform a crop of actions each day to help them get by. You'll get to know the locals, discover hidden power struggles within its communities, and dig into a lot of tender and heartfelt stories during your time here, and it's easily one of the most beautiful and compassionate games I've played in a long while.

You can have a read of our Citizen Sleeper review to find out more about how its dice rolls work, and you can also have a gander at some of the more personal reactions we had in our Advent Calendar post. I myself have also been meaning to go back to Citizen Sleeper ever since the last of its free DLC episodes arrived the other week as well, so we'll be examining the game from all angles over the course of the next month.

If you haven't played Citizen Sleeper yet, now is a great time to jump in, too, as publisher Fellow Traveller have announced it will be
