Developed by Candleman Games Studio (known for the hit 2017 light-based platformer Candleman), Exhausted Man is an upcoming Steam indie title that has players literally struggling to stay awake as they navigate everyday life. The game is currently offered up as a free Steam Next Fest Demo all this week, along with interesting titles like the RTS Starship Troopers – Terran Command and the retro-style adventure Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan. The Steam Next Fest event started last Friday, October 1, and is set to run until this Thursday, October 7.    

As for Exhausted Man, Candleman Games Studio promises that players will take control of “an ordinary person who is exhausted but refuses to sleep” as they slide, twist, and roll across various household environments to complete everyday tasks and hopefully improve their character’s life. Additionally, players can build their own custom levels and play through them at their leisure, and there are hidden stories within even the most common everyday items. So far, responses to Exhausted Man on Steam Community have been quite positive, with players praising the Steam Next Fest Demo for its fun and unique gameplay.

Exhausted Man looks like a fun and quirky title for players looking for a hilarious physics-based title. A Steam Next Demo of Exhausted Man is currently available to download from now until the Steam Next Fest ends on Thursday, October 7, giving players a chance to battle against the greatest boss battle of all: a lack of a good night’s sleep.

J. Brodie Shirey is just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe, but aren’t we all? He currently lives in York, Pennsylvania. He is a big comic book, video game, and science fiction fan, and likes writing articles for ScreenRant or scripts for some of his crazy TV show ideas.

A graduate from York County School of Technology, he’s self-published several books on Amazon, and once won 1st place at a regional computer fair for a CGI animated short. He might post it on Youtube someday. He hopes that working for this site will be his first step into the larger universe of online writing, since Megazord technology hasn’t been invented yet and he doesn’t seem to have any Force powers. You can check out his work at The Uncanny Fox, purchase his books on Amazon.com, see his posted scripts on Script Revolution, or see his portfolio here or here.
