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
- Scintillating soundtrack by Sondre Jensen and Ozan Drøsdal
- Over 600 lines of dialogue expertly executed by our eloquent voice actors

玩之前熬了个大夜,打的时候感觉自己和残疾人没两样,适合24h没睡的手残党,真的
在一个平常的下午,和朋友一起手动操控塞缪尔。是一个很有趣的游戏,盆友玩得也挺开心的,旁白还很幽默,就是我控制呼吸的两个手指有点麻了 整个游戏还是很好玩的,适合和朋友一起玩 目前通关了剧情模式,剩下的以后再看吧
Si quieres un desafío, este es tu juego. No sé si llega al nivel de I Am Bread, pero te va a hacer sufrir y pondrá a prueba tu coordinación y la precisión de tus movimientos. Necesitarás mucha práctica, paciencia y perseverancia. Verás que, echándole unas cuantas horas, poco a poco te irás acostumbrando y acabarás consiguiéndolo. La historia es una fumada, como ya se puede ver, y además es bastante corta. Lo que realmente se disfruta es la dificultad de los movimientos y la coordinación que exige para hacer todo correctamente; ahí está el verdadero reto y la "diversión". Si alguien se anima a intentarlo, lo recomiendo. ;)
This game is fun to play but the game sometimes doesn't give you instructions on what to do so you have to figure it on your own either by looking it up on internet or by trial and error. But one thing I'm certain about this game is that the developers actually tried to make a humorous game, the dialogues in this game are engaging and the game constantly tries to ragebait you in every level, it does that often to check for your patience. The artstyle in game feels I'm watching a cartoon animation. You cannot save the game progress but you can restart a level. I finished the story alone but there is co-op mode to finish it with another player. The game was short and frustrating but decent if bought on sale.
Oh mına ko sonunda şu somtuğumun kick flipini yaptın!
Ein regelrechter Fiebertraum xD aber positiv! ich wollte das Spiel wegen der Mechanics spielen aber im Endeffekt, fand ich die Story sogar am besten. Sehr empfehlenswertes Game wenn man für ein paar Stunden Spass (und ein wenig Frust) haben will.
This game is peak. While fighting to breathe and blink ingame, I forget to do it in real life. 10/10.
Eu achava esse jogo mt fd quando eu tinha 8 anos, graças a gameplay do Hagazo. Dito isso, gosto mais do jogo pela ideia do controle do que pela história(não como se a história fosse feita pra ser boa, mas tem um esforço ali, no entanto, achei meio cringe). MAS O MORTE CONTINUA SENDO MT FODAAAA(chorão skate 4ever) 7.5/10
很好笑,自己一个人听着旁白的吐槽都要笑死了,不敢想如果有朋友一起玩得吵成什么样,但是优化能不能做好点?推荐用手柄又不支持改按键,我只会用任天堂按键啊。好吧键位都是反的我忍了,但是玩着玩着手柄又不好使了啥意思,转不了弯到最后啥都干不了,只能退出重进,那章存档就没了,太考验人耐心了。 通关了哈哈哈哈,居然是这么完整的故事结局还皆大欢喜
Fun with friends
