Your body is corporate property. Your mind is still yours — for now.
Citizen Sleeper
A tabletop-inspired RPG aboard a derelict space station at the edge of corporate space. Intimate, melancholic, and quietly essential. One of the finest pieces of science fiction writing in any medium in recent years.

What is
Chasing Zebras?
A small independent games criticism site. Three people who play everything and write about the things that actually earned their time. Named for the medical aphorism: when you hear hoofbeats, think horses — not zebras. We're here for the zebras.
- We buy our own games, or we disclose when we don't.
- Scores exist for the infobox, not the headline. Read the review.
- We track sale prices because $20 and $4 are different decisions.
- No listicles. No "top 10 games that changed the genre" padding.
- If a game isn't worth your time, we'll say so clearly.
