After releasing its well-received action-puzzler Waveform on PC, independent developer Eden Industries has moved onto its next, much more ambitious project. Citizens of Earth is a role-playing game in which you, the Vice President of the World, come back to visit your hometown only to discover that something's not quite right. Long story short, further investigation becomes a personal responsibility, as is usually the case.

A total departure from Waveform, this game brings genre tropes into a modern setting where recruiting party members, for instance, means getting the local teacher or barista to come fight for you. I'll go ahead and point out that EarthBound is one of the influences on this project and kindly leave it at that. We were given an early overview of the game, as well as a few screenshots and some character artwork.
