Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (2025)
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a 2025 role-playing (rpg) video game made by Jump Over the Age and Fellow Traveller.
The sequel from Jump Over the Age pushes further out, into the settlements and hazards of the Starward Belt. You are again a Sleeper, an artificial human, now with a ship to crew and captain across high-risk contracts that can go wrong on a single bad roll. Its tabletop-inspired dice still govern each day, but stress now damages your dice, forcing harder gambles as jobs sour. Recruitable companions, character classes, and skill checks steer both the story and your odds. The mood carries over: hard-won solidarity among the discarded, told with restraint and warmth.

A few thoughts on Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
Like the first game, it turns on artificial life scraping for freedom, so Ghost in the Shell is a natural read. Cue Deltron 3030 for its outer-belt hustle and the Blade Runner score for the ache underneath. Players craving more talk-driven RPG depth should dock at Disco Elysium next.
Working spacers just trying to make it to the next job
Citizen Sleeper 2 puts you in command of a crew working risky contracts across the Starward Belt, one bad roll away from losing everything. These picks share that same grind: spacers and drifters getting by on hard labor and thin margins, far from anyone who might actually help them.
On the run from the company that owns you
The sequel keeps its Sleeper on the run from the corporation that built and still claims ownership of the body they wear. These books share that same fight: characters trying to outrun organizations that treat people as property, building a life and an identity the company never signed off on.
Mournful electronic music for long hauls through empty space
Stress can damage your dice in Citizen Sleeper 2, turning every gamble tense against a backdrop of cold, empty belt space. These records match that mood: melancholic synths, ambient drone, and space-tinged rhythm suited to long, uncertain hauls where the next roll might not go your way.
