100% with you on spaceship salvage games. My dream game would be Hardspace Shipbreaker but you go find the derelicts while flying your ship in an open world, a la Sea of Thieves... Really hope Jump Ship scratches that itch

I was craaaaazy impressed by your ability to pick out and read just the dialog at such high speed until I remembered I was watching this on 1.75x

I played and replayed the first game 3 times... Unique story and gameplay. Roleplaying game in it's truest form. I didn't know about the second game but I am hyped immediately

Citizen Sleeper is one of my favorite games of all time, and I say that as an old head. Glad to see a part 2

Oooh! Citizen Sleeper already got a sequel? Nice! The first one was a fun little game.

citizen sleeper 1 was SOOO GOOD. I especially loved the OST. really looking forward to the sequel

I got CITIZEN SLEEPER because of your review and it is hella cool. So, probably gonna check this out too. Thanks!

I bought Citizen Sleeper after watching your original vid, once you get into it the story is very unusual and deep. So, yeah, I'm not going to "sleep" on the sequel.

Finally some gameplay to watch to tide me over till the full game comes out!

The OG Sleeper game had one of the best stories of any indie game I've ever played. So I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Great overview man! I'm not surprised they chose you for the exclusive, Your coverage of indie games is consistently epic.

I absolutely loved the first game of that name. It was one of the most minimalistic masterpiece RPGs I have ever played. A "Sleeper Hit", so to speak. 😊 I am very much looking forward to this sequel.

That writing is so good. I'm absolutely hooked on this story.

Honestly, if you wanted to 2 part this video Splat. I think most people would dig it

So excited to try this. The first game quickly became one of my favourites.

Wow, a "Jones in the Fast Lane" reference. I loved that game back in the day

I LOVE the first Citizen Sleeper… if this is half as good it will be GOTY

YES. The sequel can't come fast enough

cant wait to play this, absolutely loved the first game, can believe youre checking this out already!

Best news this week, i adored citizen sleeper, it getting a sequel is awesome.

Thanks Splatt! And “Jones in the Fast Lane” - hollllly moly is that a deep cut.

Loved the first one, so I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel. Pleased to hear you got an exclusive too Splatty, that's awesome.

This is RIGHT up my alley.

I love love loved the first one. My first completed playthrough left me in tears as its so beautifully written. I cannot wait to get my hands on this one for sure

I loved the writing in the first game

OMG "Jones life in the fast lane", nice 1991 reference :)

They made a second one?!? Good job.

So cool! Love a game with great tabletop RPG vibes; the first Citizen Sleeper was excellent and this sequel looks just as good.

This is one my most anticipated games. Loved loved loved the first one.

Really liked the first one, glad you covered that AND this :D

Loved the first one! It's a major vibe!

@09:30-ish Splat getting truly "lost in the sauce" there. Man, that sounds good... Oh, and great game!

Loved the first game. This looks great!

Wow, this game looks awesome. I've never even heard of the first one. I guess I need to go check it out too.

Loved the first game, glad to see the gameplay of the sequel. Looking forward to this.

Yup, its on the wishlist. 👍

Loved the original and really looking forward to this.

Excellent writing. Cool game.

Best thing at Mel's is Mel's potatoes topped with gravy, or a Tuna Melt on Rye.

Not watching to avoid spoilers, but so happy to see CS2 promotion ramping up!

JONES IN THE FAST LANE reference right off the bat! One of us! ONE OF US!!

Gotta tune out here. Love your stuff but love Citizen Sleep even more. Not gonna spoil myself here. Thx for spreading the game though o/

Loved the first. Fantastic work.

lol bbq elbow! i just literally got home from mels diner after night out in sf. hey thanks for the entertaining and informative videos on new and upcoming games!

Thanks for the vid Splatt.

I loved the first game, bought the physical copy on Switch.. looking forward to this..

i loved the first game, v excited for this

Im so excited for this game,!!!

Lots of you who are interested in CS probably know that the game is heavily based on Table Top RPG mechanics. Here is a recent series where the main dev of CS plays a homebrew TT RPG version of CS with some of his friends. He talks quite extensively about CS whilst they play, so you may find it interesting. Hopefully it interests those not familiar with TT RPG's to take a closer look (wink) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iamAarOXlpjck4k.html

dude, brillant!

i cant believe you know about 'jones in the fast lane'!!! OMG! LOL!! XD

Yeah! I loved the first game!

Oh snap... Citizen Sleeper is back. Love it, so much so, it's my name on Crunchyroll lol

Looks cool!

Wait what? Thought this would take longer

weightless muscles im in how can i look so cut with no resistance. glorious. your a legend.

The dice system seems nice.

Let’s goooooo

Ah citizens sleeper, my life sucks simulator. loved it!

Oh it's finally out??! Nice! I am throwing them my money

I still listen to the soundtrack of the first. Space melancholy at it's finest.

the gameplay reminds me of Opus : Echo of Starsong with the 3d ships mixed with 2d characters, high quality art, and dicerolls to progress the story

Love the 1st game, and after seeing this I love what I'm seeing. Managed to get through the multiple ways the Sleeper could end the game but I chose 2 endings, 1st being the one where you and the dad with his kid find your own way off the station after getting screwed over by the corpo. Then the 2nd ending is where The Sleeper becomes one with the Rogue but benevolent AI in the cut-off part of the station. It seems like choosing which class of Sleeper you are now has some "consequences" now since it looks like each class has a skill that they won't ever be good at whereas in the 1st game, you just have access to all the skills, it just takes a lot of completed quests/drives to access them. And in exchange we now have party members with their own dice to throw in. An acceptable change to the game, I just hope that the party members also "level-up" with the Sleeper, or is leveling up just a Sleeper thing in this world?

Need more of this lol doesnt come out till 25 and i was into it haha

Oh, a game without zombies! I'm in!

cool art

Operator gameplay could use a bit more Jim Croce references, but otherwise looks great. Will have to pick up this and the previous entry.

This game art style 😳 I want to bathe within

Good evening!

Day 7 of asking to see splat's wizard tattoo.

A "Jones in the fast Lane" reference within the first 1min... ...my dude, we are so old, aren't we?

Always had interest in the first game. Like the art style and the premise. Think I might have to hit that first one up before this drops. Didn't quite not exactly what to expect out of it in passing, but after watching this preview I'm pretty sold. Roleplaying in the ruins of interplanetary capitalism? Yes pls. I mean, I know it's basically that here on Earth but... Late-stage capitalism in spaaaaace + salvaging is my weakness too.

HOLY SHIT THERE IS A SECOND ONE

I'd classify the series as "Resource Management Adventure Role Playing Game", RMARPG. I'm disappointed that this sequel isn't going to be here this year.

So the game Is a wall of text, nice

Story time with Splat...

Looks like an interactive novel

LESTGOOOOOO

IT'S FINALLY HERE? aw man 2025

This is waay outside my comfort zone, but do like what I see here. Could be for me.🤔

They made a second? Take my money!

Loved the first game. I didn't like that some of the dlc content (which the game doesn't tell you) are mixed into normal gameplay which lead to pacing problem as well as missing endings (didn't want to "end" the game so didn't lick those endings yet). Anyway will be picking up the game.

🖤

Loved the first game, thought 2nd will release this year considering the marketing push recently. Oh well.

Hope they add more animations or effects so that it wont feel too much just like reading a book. reminds me of Persona game but without the battle

seems line I"ll actualy try this one

If mils diner I'd take a Belgian waffle 2 eggs 2 sasuage 2 bacon and tea, if it's lunch a ribeye a cup of soup dinner salad and a soft drink preferably coke no ice.

You know, the first game wasn't *bad* but it never really struck me as 'good' as I was playing through it. The gameplay was super basic and almost inconsequential, and while some of the stories were pretty good, some of the stories were really, *really* awful. I 100%-ed the thing and kinda forgot about it...except over time I kept remembering the handful of stories I thought were actually really solid and done well. It's definitely not a ringing endorsement, but I think I'll check this one out. Maybe they polished up some of the more annoying character archetypes and cliches.

wow looking nice. is it similar to hardspace:shipbreaker? edit: it seem like this game is more focus on story. not the salvaging part.

Is this a book or a game? So much reading Would have loved if you made it more like Freelancer

If anyone is into mech games and rouge likes I suggest you try out the Granvir demo.

Wow. Talk about luck when you reprogram the hatch. I have a feeling that I won't be so lucky when I try it.

This is more a book than a game 😅 suposed to let the player see and do stuff

1.75 x speed is hilarious, first time trying it on this ch😂

I'm not going to watch because I enjoyed the first game a lot, and I don't want to spoiler myself. Figured I would comment for engagement at least because from what I recall it was your video on the first game that got me playing it. Pretty sure I finished the first one. Was kind of hard to tell, I kind of just succeeded at everything to do so I just kind of kept existing on the station?

beautiful. so it seems the "data world" was dropped.... unfortunate, that was such an easy way to generate a reliable source of cryo with 1 and 2 dice. too OP ig. condition seems to have been dropped, replaced with the new stress mechanic. energy is now max 3 but degrades only by 1. looks like the 'unsuited' skill of each class is completely locked out, instead of debuffed, and you start with another 'weak' skill with a pretty heavy malus. we get some new class specific abilities with Push, probably Glitch too. and the biggest of all, the whole contract/Rig/map system, to manage fuel and supplies to take on big payout mini quests and travel the system!

Want that cryberpunk space experience? YES! Wanna go and immerse yourself in running jobs to far out places with rpg turn style fights & ship to ship cambat? YES, YES, YES! Well **** you all space games should be a slog about corpo slaves & if you deviate from the story (air quotes) you will 1st have your save ruined, then you die.

more like an animated novel it seems.

Planned release date is 2025?

I lost interest in the first one one I noticed that it is quite linear and to easy. Its an interactive fiction and no cyoa. But i still hope this one will be less linear, because the atmosphere was awesome.

visual novel
