It's not just the visuals that are straightforward yet effective, either, as the gameplay also falls into this camp. There's an emotional core to Citizen Sleeper that breaks through the surface of its minimalist aesthetic choices. It's a game about the inhumanity of humans and the humanity of a supposed robot, whether through a friendship with a father and his adopted daughter or the corruption of a Blade Runner-esque bounty hunter looking to turn the player in. This isn't just a game of essays and ideology dumps, though, as thankfully Citizen Sleeper explores all of these themes through well-crafted story and character moments.
