Starward Vector expands on the Citizen Sleeper formula not just with gameplay features, but how they connect to the narrative.

Starward Vector from developer Jump Over The Age and publisher Fellow Traveller is the sequel to 2022's Citizen Sleeper, and like the first game, it's a dice-driven RPG reminiscent of a tabletop experience.
