Description

Tristan and Oliver are joined by Jon Keevy as they emulate their minds into their new digital bodies to board the Eye in Jump Over the Age's modern classic Citizen Sleeper, tapping into these three threads:

• Cycles - The passing of time and how it makes the dynamic narrative tick
• Risk Assessment - Deep dive into the dice mechanics and other resource management
• Moral Ambiguity - How the game manages to deliver genuinely impactful choices by withholding information and avoiding judgement
