Citizen Sleeper - Episode: REFUGE is out now!
Episode: REFUGE is Citizen Sleeper’s second episodic update, and it’s available right now, FREE for all players.
To mark the occasion, we’ve also put the game on sale at 25% off. Don't sleep on this chance to pick up one of the year's most talked about indie games at it highest discount yet!
Since its launch in May earlier this year, Citizen Sleeper has been praised as “a game that gets cyberpunk right”, with a deep narrative experience, unique tabletop RPG-inspired gameplay, compelling characters and a fascinating setting.
It’s been called “one of the best games of the year” (VICE/Waypoint), “an evocative life-sim RPG you won't want to wake up from” (PC Gamer), and “a game I'll be thinking about for years to come” (Game Informer).
REFUGE is the second instalment in a three-episode arc, which will conclude in early 2023. It picks up right where the previous episode, FLUX left off. A strange event sends ripples through Erlin’s Eye. You will enter the refugee flotilla that arrived during FLUX to understand this new threat, and help the refugees stabilize their community.
In Episode: REFUGE, you will meet Sol, captain of the Pilgrim Seed, the biggest ship in the flotilla, and the refugees’ unofficial leader. Hailing from Ember’s Hearth, the largest moon of the gas giant Ember, Sol is a quiet pragmatist who is expected to shoulder some heavy responsibilities on behalf of the fractured flotilla.
Episode: REFUGE is available for FREE across all platforms for anyone who owns or or has access to Citizen Sleeper.
For those who don’t, great news - Citizen Sleeper is on sale at 25% off (its highest discount ever) for the launch of Episode: REFUGE. Grab it now on Nintendo Switch, Steam, GOG, Epic, Humble, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One. It’s also available on Xbox Game Pass.
Citizen Sleeper has been compared favorably to the likes of Disco Elysium and Norco. What is even more remarkable about these comparisons is that Jump Over the Age, founded by Gareth Damian Martin (they/them), is a one-person game development studio. Gareth, along with Guillaume Singelin (character art) and Amos Roddy (music and sound) created Citizen Sleeper and they would love to hear your thoughts on the game, particularly these free episode updates!

Citizen Sleeper Episode One: FLUX arrives on July 28th
Reawaken, Sleeper.
Citizen Sleeper’s first episodic DLC, FLUX, is launching as a free update to the game on July 28th! FLUX will kick off a new story arc that will play out across three episodes.
Pressures in the Helion system have brought the first ships of a refugee flotilla to Erlin’s Eye. You will meet and help those that get on-station before the quarantine locks them out.
FLUX will kick off a new overarching storyline that plays out across all three episodes, expanding on the wider narrative of the Helion System, the star system in which the Eye orbits.
The storyline will also introduce a number of new characters, the first of which is Eshe, captain of the Climbing Briar. A stubborn and driven spacer, Eshe’s fate becomes tangled up in that of the flotilla. Her story will challenge the player to choose how to deal with a growing crisis that could threaten the entire station.
In FLUX, you’ll also cross paths with Peake, the second member of the Climbing Briar’s crew. They have a cooler head than their captain, and an ability to disappear when necessary. The player will get to know more about them as they work to make a plan to get much needed relief through the quarantine to the refugee flotilla.
Citizen Sleeper will receive two more episode updates after FLUX, both for free.
