The first of three new story episodes for the critically-acclaimed indie hit will introduce a new storyline and new characters.
Today indie publisher Fellow Traveller and developer Jump Over The Age announced that FLUX, the first of Citizen Sleeper’s three free DLC episodes, will launch on July 28th at 9 am PDT.
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 with 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 make a plan to get much-needed relief through the quarantine of the refugee flotilla.
When it launched in May of this year, Citizen Sleeper received enormous critical praise for its unique tabletop-inspired roleplay experience, imaginative world-building, and authentic implementation of Cyberpunk as a genre & aesthetic. Also featuring stunning character work by French artist Guillaume Singelin and a haunting soundtrack from Amos Roddy, Citizen Sleeper currently retains a 96% ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam from over 1,000 reviews and a ‘Mighty’ Open Critic Rating.
