Life as an adult is undoubtedly challenging. The constant feeling of exhaustion coupled with an ever-growing to-do list can make each day feel like an uphill battle. The upcoming physics game, Exhausted Man, captures this sentiment perfectly as players take on the role of a worm-like character who is not just tired, but completely over everything.
Developed by Candleman, Exhausted Man promises to deliver an “absurd” simulation of the modern world. The protagonist, the titular exhausted man, moves through his day in a horizontal fashion – crawling along the ground and even scaling walls in a bug-like manner. The inspiration for the game stemmed from the simple concept of people running out of energy, a feeling that many can relate to on a personal level.
The movement mechanics of Exhausted Man bear resemblance to games like Octodad and Heavenly Bodies, but it sets itself apart with a distinctive, worm-like style that adds a comedic touch to its numerous challenges. Beyond the humor, there is a raw sense of relatability in the game that resonates with players who have experienced overwhelming fatigue and the desire to rest indefinitely in a horizontal position.
For those eager to dive into the world of Exhausted Man, the wait is almost over. The game is scheduled to launch on July 25, 2024, across various platforms including PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. With its unique concept and engaging gameplay, Exhausted Man offers players a chance to explore the struggles of adulting in a lighthearted and relatable manner.
Exhausted Man presents a fresh perspective on the challenges of adult life through its innovative gameplay and quirky protagonist. As players navigate the tired and overworked world of the exhausted man, they are sure to find moments of humor, frustration, and ultimately, a sense of camaraderie in shared experiences of exhaustion. Get ready to embrace the absurdity of modern life with Exhausted Man on July 25, 2024.
