Review: ‘Citizen Sleeper 2' is narrative gaming at its best
DUBAI: The sequel to one of indie gaming's most beloved narrative gems, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, proves that lightning can strike twice. Again featuring an imaginative space setting, the dice-driven roleplaying game thrives on subtle storytelling that feels both intimate and epic. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ In Citizen Sleeper 2, you step once more into the worn metal frame of a Sleeper — a synthetic body powered by a digitized human consciousness, stripped of its original memories. While the first game saw you fleeing the corporate entity that created you, the sequel shifts gears. This time, you are a Sleeper who has broken free from the chemical leash of Stabilizer only to find yourself bound by another kind of chain — indentured to ruthless gang boss Laine, trading one form of control for another. What sets Citizen Sleeper 2 apart is its ability to make every choice matter without bombarding the player with flashy moral prompts. Conversations feel organic, decisions ripple outwards with quiet but devastating impact and the characters are drawn with nuance and compassion. The gameplay remains as relaxing as it is engrossing. The dice mechanic returns, offering a meditative rhythm of planning and risk, but there is added depth in how resources, relationships and time must be balanced. As the hours pass, the stakes rise. What begins as a personal quest for survival grows into a meditation on community, identity and the cost of freedom. By the time the credits roll, Citizen Sleeper 2 feels less like a game you played and more like a story you lived. It is narrative-driven gaming at its best.

Energy minister inaugurates carbon capture unit at KAPSARC
RIYADH: A new test unit for carbon capture technology was inaugurated by Saudi Arabia's energy minister on Sunday following its installation at the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center in Riyadh. Developed in partnership with Swiss company Climeworks, the unit is already operational, capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. A key objective of the project is to assess the unit's performance under the Kingdom's harsh climatic conditions and high temperatures, differing from similar technologies employed in colder countries. The inauguration follows an announcement in March from Saudi Aramco, which launched the Kingdom's first direct air capture test unit. The new unit highlights Saudi Arabia's commitment to advancing the circular carbon economy by deploying direct air capture solutions in pursuit of its climate objectives aligned with Vision 2030 sustainability goals. It also demonstrates the economic potential of localizing direct air capture technologies, leveraging the country's vast renewable energy resources. The installation of the unit is part of a broader feasibility study launched after a memorandum of understanding was signed last December during the Saudi Green Initiative Forum. Saudi Arabia has announced a target to capture and utilize up to 44 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually by 2035 through the development of major Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage hubs in the eastern and western regions. These centers will be designed to collect industrial emissions and convert captured carbon into high-value products. Ongoing studies are also exploring the potential to localize key materials and components of carbon capture systems, enhancing opportunities to build a robust domestic supply chain for the emerging sector.
