About

Manual Samuel is a comedic adventure game where you control every bodily function of its protagonist. After Samuel dies and strikes a deal with Death, he must survive 24 hours controlling his breathing, blinking, walking, and other normally automatic actions. Each movement requires deliberate input—inhaling and exhaling are separate button presses, walking means coordinating individual legs. The setup leads to physical comedy as simple tasks like drinking coffee or navigating stairs become elaborate challenges. You'll guide Samuel through his day while a narrator comments on your fumbling attempts at basic human functions. The game combines story-driven scenarios with intentionally awkward controls that turn mundane activities into puzzles. It's brief and focused on humor rather than difficulty, though expect to fail spectacularly at things like brushing teeth or getting dressed.
