Holy smoke, Titanium Court is some of the most impressively written Fae Court dialogue i've seen in video games. What an *astoundingly* good presentation! The engagement of the match-3 is on par with OG Puzzle Quest, and y'all KNOW how much i glaze that game. Art and music? BANGIN.

eagerly awaited!

Literally every single person Iโ€™ve recommended Citizen Sleeper to has said it touched them in an unexpected way and left them in tears.

If you havenโ€™t already, engage yourself with these stories. Theyโ€™re beautiful, poignant, melancholic, and have a knack of hitting right where you need them.

Happy Anniversary to Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector!

I wasnโ€™t an easy development but Iโ€™m still so proud of the game, and how I bounced back stronger from the difficulties that hit mid-dev.

Hereโ€™s the oldest concept I could find, from November 2022.

Iโ€™m glad the Rig made it in the end ๐Ÿš€

We're kicking off 2026 in fine style with Citizen Sleeper 2: Design Works โ€“ like the game, it might just be even better than its predecessor. Plenty more surprises coming up, too... what are *you* hoping to see from LIC this year?

For me its super important that I stay hands-on with anything in the Citizen Sleeper universe and build on the visual and design language in a way that is complimentary. Spindlejack is a new direction I'm testing out!

If that sounds interesting, check out Spindlejack at www.lostincult.co.uk

Particularly pleased that they're reprinting the original Design Works for Citizen Sleeper as well as we keep hearing from people who missed out on it
