About the Game

One life. One d20. One very bad city.

Cyber Citizen is an idle life-sim RPG set in a neon sprawl that does not care whether you make it. You don't control every step — you set the direction, pick your angle when the moment comes, and watch the dice decide the rest. Jobs run whether you're watching or not.

Think Progress Quest's hands-off grind crossed with BitLife's cradle-to-grave decision-making, dressed in chrome and cheap neon.

Set your focus, live with it

Your character runs on three slots: a Primary and Secondary focus, plus a Support. Chase honest Work, grind down your Debt, build a Network — or run Theft, Burglary, Black Market and Chaos and see how long you last. Focus combinations unlock things a single path never will.

Ten classes and five types, from Hacker and Infiltrator to Droid Builder and Geneticist, each bending how the world treats you.

Crime is a career path

Steal it, fence it, and hope the mask held. Every illegal job you pull marks you CRIMINAL — and the law hunts a marked name harder. Get spotted and you're in pursuit: shake the tail, or take the cell.

Pay your bail, serve your sentence, or make a break for it and add five years to the tab. Kill someone and you're a MURDERER for life, with a twenty-five year sentence waiting the day they catch you.

Build a crew (and lose them) 

Friends lend you their profession's edge in the Support slot — a Medic halves the damage you take, an Infiltrator halves your odds of getting caught, an Agent slips the law entirely. Some of them have records of their own. Bring a known criminal along on the night you're arrested and the court adds it to your sentence.

Chase the impossible

Hidden stories wait behind the right focus pairings. Rob the Central Credit Vault. Break into a warlord's private hangar and leave with his spaceship. Find the crazy scientist in the basement and steal a magazine from a future that hasn't happened yet.

Die. Try again. Do better.

You age with every job. Gear wears out, luck runs thin, and one natural 1 in the wrong alley ends it. If you left an heir, your credits and your name carry to the next generation. If you didn't, the bloodline ends there — and the city doesn't notice.

Make it yours

A full in-game content editor lets you write your own activities, items and characters into the world. Drop-in music support and a mods folder mean the sprawl can look and sound however you want it to.
