Ridiculously Exhausted Man Laboriously Drags Limp Body Towards PS5, PS4 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Exhausted Man is a ludicrous physics game in which players must inhabit the role of someone who is absolutely knackered but refuses to sleep. In this delirious state, their body operates like a worm or snake, wriggling and writhing about (literally climbing the walls), struggling with the most basic of tasks, and it's coming to PS5 and PS4 on 25th July.

Developer Candleman Games describes Exhausted Man as an «absurd sitcom depicting an exhausted life», and we feel whatever it is they are going for deep in our bones. Over on the PlayStation Blog, the studio describes basing the game's surreal locomotion on caterpillars, with the head acting as the anchor point. Perhaps one of the more outlandish concepts for a physics game since the seminal Octodad: Dadliest Catch, we can't wait to rest our weary bodies down on the couch with this one.

Finally, a game I can relate to!

Same, does this support move controllers?

Has Octodad vibes, which I'm fine with

Edit: which you highlighted and I completley missed. Doh.

Yes, this I can relate to in so many ways.

Finally, a game protagonist I could reasonably portray in a live-action adaptation!
