Boardroom beat-em-up Stick It to the Stickman punches its way out of early access next month, complete with neurolinkage and an “absolutely absurd finale”
“Stick It to the Stickman,” a roguelite beat ’em up from Free Lives (developers of Anger Foot), will exit early access on September 23rd. The game immerses players in a hostile corporate office tower, where they fight their way upward armed with office supplies and workplace improvisation.
The premise centers on visceral office combat—literally beating colleagues and enemies with presentation materials and other corporate detritus. Players progress through the building using roguelite mechanics, encountering chaotic, fast-paced combat that reviewers found highly satisfying and deeply cathartic during early access. The game’s appeal lies in channeling workplace frustration into beat ’em up action.
Free Lives has spent over a year refining the title in early access. The September release promises additional features including “neurolinkage” mechanics and what developers describe as an “absolutely absurd finale” to cap the office ascension narrative. The game combines crude, satirical humor with engaging combat mechanics designed to appeal to players seeking over-the-top action gameplay with a workplace twist.
