Hello, I am one of the developers of Exhausted man. It is a physics comedy game about an exhausted life in which the protagonist is so tired that he can only crawl on the floor and still refuses to sleep.
Reasons for staying up late
Anyone who stays up late must have a goal that they want to achieve. This also applies to our two protagonists. The girl is a young office lady. She has to acquire the license that is crucial for her career. The boy is an indie game developer. He has to release his game demo on time.
Although inspired by true events, Exhausted man is not a linear narrative game. Instead, you can play in your own style and have a lot of freedom to determine the character’s fate. I want to share with you some ways you can make the choice and get creative.
What to do tonight?
The game uses event cards to represent what the character will do tonight. Red cards mean working towards the goal, while blue cards mean resting. You can choose what you want to do as you wish. Although the goal for tonight is clear, we don’t necessarily have to work towards it, right?
Which article will be presented at the event?
Before playing an event card, you must choose the key elements of the event. For example, in the “Playtest” event, which is about the “cursed monster” designed by our protagonist, you can choose according to your interpretation of the story or simply personal preference. The element you choose will look unique and reflect the consequence of your choice.
How do I set up the room?
As mentioned above, events require the playing of certain items, so event cards are unlocked by the items placed in the room. At the start of the game, you can choose a pre-made room or build an empty room yourself.
For each completed event, you can place new items in the room. Choosing the items that will be useful for achieving the goal will unlock more red event cards. You can also decorate the room to your taste or even go against the plot and place only items for recreation and entertainment.
What happens in the end?
Through the loop of “place items – unlock event cards – complete event – collect points” the game eventually comes to an end. I don’t want to give anything away here, but I can assure you that every ending is unique and worth experiencing.
Exhausted man is available now. Spend a stressful night in your own way and experience the beautiful and the bitter sides of it all.
