Nowadays, people are always exhausted. Concerned about this social problem, my team and I Exhausted manan absurd sitcom depicting a worn-out life. In this game, you will experience laughter and warmth through the exhausting journey of an indie game developer.
As you can see in the video at the top of the post, shipping a game is not easy. I once read in a book that every game shipped is a miracle. Behind such a miracle are exhausted but persistent game developers like the one in the video.
Exhausted Man does not want to seriously address the social problem of “exhaustion”. On the contrary, I want to make the players laugh in an absurd and playful way and show how an exhausted person can survive the night that is crucial for him.
As the video shows, you play as an exhausted person, doing everything lying down and completing quirky daytime events during a busy night. The game environment is something you create yourself as you progress through the game, and the toy-like art style allows you to decorate a cozy house with ease.
In Exhausted manwe use a series of mini-games to represent certain life events in imaginative ways. The last part of the video shows one of these: the character has to pile up a hill with all sorts of game-related items and climb up to press the shiny start button.
For us, the release of a game is actually a boring button on the screen. But in our hearts, that button is sacred and we will never forget all the days and nights we spent up to that point. Now I have that feeling with Exhausted manand I invite you to experience it.
Exhausted man is available for pre-order starting today and you can also download the demo from the Xbox Store.
