Hello Everyone,
Just a short update to let you know about some of the exciting physical things that are happening in the Citizen Sleeper world!
Fashion of The Eye
First up, we have just revealed our first OFFICIAL T-Shirt in collaboration with Fangamer. Designed by the wonderful artist Nina Matsumoto (an artist who has designed some of the best Fangamer shirts I own!) It comes in tasteful navy, and features the Sleeper, The Stray, and of course… some mushrooms.
Not only that, but we also have a fancy NEOVEND pin coming (you can sign up to be notified on release), and the Nintendo Switch physical edition is also available and shipping as we speak. You can get both at the link above.
Here’s the pin (with its real wires):
Design Works Update
Meanwhile we’ve been hard at work on the Design Works book, and the many many extras and goodies Lost in Cult have promised you all. I know it’s been a long wait, but after a lot of hunting for the best possible materials and time spent designing and play-testing Cycles of the Eye I can tell you that we will be shipping this project out starting in September 2024.
If you’d like more details , head over to Lost in Cult’s new production updates page where you can also see some sample spreads and sample products, like the lovely Moritz-jacket patches below:
Prismatic Discs
Finally, the Stumpy Frog deluxe edition of the Citizen Sleeper soundtrack has started shipping out, and I have got my copy. I just wanted to highlight it for a moment, because we put a lot of work into the “animation cell” sleeve that replicates a classic anime look for the Citizen Sleeper art you know and love. Walt at Stumpy Frog has done an incredible job realizing my design, it’s one of my favorite things we’ve done.
You might not know this, but I design or oversee every single Citizen Sleeper thing that goes out into the world myself and I try to make sure the quality meets the game in any physical object we make. I know that sometimes means we are a little slow, but I hope then when you finally have the real thing (in your hands) you’ll appreciate it, and enjoy it for a long time.
If you’d like a copy of the Stumpy Frog edition, please grab it here. And here’s a look at one of the two exclusive disc colors that can only be found on Stumpy’s own site:
Alright, that's it for what was a very object focused newsletter. We’ll be back to our usual digital and game focused news very soon, but if you did pick up one of the things above, thanks for your support, and I hope you enjoy it!
Speak soon!

That shirt looks awesome. I also didn’t know there was vinyl! I need to pick that up somehow.
Love the physical edition I got for my Switch!
