About

Manual Samuel is about the rich daddy’s boy Samuel, who hasn’t worked a day in his life. After an unfortunate encounter with a septic tank truck and Death, Sam is forced to live manually for 24 hours to be able to go on with his life. Breathe, blink, walk and simply exist for Samuel as he experiences the worst day of his life. QWOP meets Monkey Island in this hilarious narrative adventure game for the whole family (minus grandma and the kids).

Better responding controls would do a lot of good, but for £6.40 you’ve got a lovely idea, often delivered very well.

Manual Samuel is a short but interesting title, however its gameplay gets very repetitive and infuriating quickly with the constant blinking and breathing. The game's controversial approach to humour also dampens the experience and makes it difficult to enjoy the best bits without feeling guilty for laughing at something you feel like you really shouldn't.
