Our take on The Citizen
The unusual premise receives most of the attention, while the practical scope is much smaller: this is a 15-minute experience with the same content regardless of player preference.
What is The Citizen?
The Citizen is a first-person narrative comedy game with an absurdist narrator and a theme of addressing serious subjects indirectly.
It presents a fixed set of content rather than branching variations, while framing reactions to the game as a matter of personal taste. The experience includes deliberately unnecessary sound production, multiple doors to pass through, and several babies. The stated playtime is 15 minutes. It is presented as a short game from a developer who makes games monthly.
