About
Manual Samuel is a hilarious, hand-drawn adventure game with a wild twist. After making a deal with Death, our hero, the spoiled rich-kid Samuel, must survive for 24 hours controlling his entire body manually.
From breathing and blinking to driving and working, all these tasks will fall to you. It won’t be easy, with Death himself tagging along for the ride, you might be in some very deep feces!

- Overhauled the game to fix a number of gameplay bugs and introduce a number of quality of life improvements
- Visual updates, revamped character animations, new and improved audio effects, updated controller support
- Added Simplified and Traditional Chinese subtitles - read feces in up to 12 languages
- 8 new achievements to discover and unlock!

Using your keyboard or controller, you’ll have to manually breathe, blink, drink, walk, talk and more — one clumsy input at a time. Can you keep Samuel alive, or will he flop his way back to the afterlife?

From getting dressed, driving to work and (checks notes…) fighting robots? - Help Samuel navigate his day to ensure he returns to his lavish life and girlfriend!
Looking to lose friends or break up with your significant other? Then this mode is perfect for you!

- Unique, hand-drawn 2D art and animation brings the world of Manual Samuel to life in glorious high resolution!
- Five in-game comics exploring the backstory of Manual Samuel's characters
- Master the brutal 'Speedrun' and 'Challenge' modes across each chapter

пиcюн!
<3
Hands down the funniest game I've ever played. Trailer was great and convinced me right away, and the game itself did not disappoint one bit. Holy feces what an awesome gem
i like the mannuel stuff
Не сказать что было сложно проходить, скорее скучно. Местами смешно, а так игра меня бесила всё время прохождения, постоянно надо что-то нажимать, управление ужОс
好玩,剧情可以
Not much to say. A 2-hour-long game with a goofy story and humour that gets a bit difficult at times. Give it a try on sale.
