You’re too sleepy to stand up, but your job won’t wait! In Exhausted Man, you’re a bone-tired game developer who crawls like a human inchworm. Take on hilarious—and highly surreal—physics-based challenges, using your floppy arms to grab everything from a laptop to bowls of ramen. No rest for the weary!

What we love: The adorable absurdity. Curl up on a skateboard for a quick nap, slither along walls to snatch posters, or battle a monstrous houseplant with a game controller. It’s all presented as a bizarre late-night TV show, which ratchets up the weirdness another delightful notch.

Quick tip: Giant yawn bubbles drift around your apartment when your energy wanes. Accidentally pop one and you’ll briefly zonk out, letting go of anything you’re holding—including that fleeing envelope you’d just managed to capture.

Meet the creator: Candleman Games founder Gao Ming came up with the idea for Exhausted Man during a 2017 game jam with the theme “running out of power.” The character’s slinking movement was inspired by caterpillars.
