Manual Samuel

YO , YO , YO , BROS
now it might be hard controls but its the idea of the game and with adding remote play together its even better
especially with the right person , i did enjoy this adventure and i like the story and characters and art and music ...
so you control samuel and suffer alot and maybe this death and surviving chance will make you learn something
and make your actions better in real life !!?...
there is also short comics , the game is funny i recommended as Co-oP
whoever made this game , thank you so much and i wish you make more of it , much love <3
and sorry to say this but ... HOLY Feces!!!

QWOP meets The Stanley Parable.
The humour is funny though it sometimes drags out a bit. I lost count of how many times characters uttered the word "feces". Despite that the game is still absolutely hilarious. Haven't laughed this hard at a video game in ages.
Strongly recommend! I'll rate it a: Holy Feces out of 10.

Nice simple art and good voices. It is little dark in story but if you don't mind that then it is very funny too. Gameplay is weird and there is some challenge. Lots fun play with friend too!

I give this game a recommendation, because the narration and scenario are fun and unique.
Only downside is my ineptitude to cope with the hard gameplay.
My rating 5,5/10, would be higher if i didn't have two left hands :P

Manual Samuel : By Triple F

"Manual Samuel" isn't your average game. It throws out conventional controls and throws you headfirst into the chaotic life of Samuel, a man whose very bodily functions require your precise (and often frantic) button mashing. Developed by Perfectly Paranormal, "Manual Samuel" is a darkly comedic adventure that will have you laughing, swearing, and questioning your own dexterity in equal measure.

The core gameplay revolves around controlling Samuel's basic actions. Breathing? Button prompt. Walking? More button prompts (one for each leg!). Talking? A tap dance on the controller. Even the most mundane tasks become hilariously nightmarish endeavors. Drinking a cup of coffee becomes a frantic button sequence to avoid scalding yourself, while driving transforms into a white-knuckle race against oncoming traffic and Samuel's own suicidal tendencies.

This outrageous control scheme is initially frustrating. Simple actions become exercises in button-mashing mayhem. Yet, as you progress, a strange sense of mastery emerges. Landing a perfect button combo to navigate a busy intersection or successfully navigate a treacherous ice rink with Samuel's uncoordinated limbs is strangely satisfying. It's a game that constantly pushes you to your limits, but the rewards (both comedic and in terms of personal satisfaction) are undeniable.

Adding to the madness is a sardonic and ever-present narrator, personified by Death himself. Death isn't here to shepherd Samuel to the afterlife; he's here for entertainment. He throws challenges your way, mocks your failures with a healthy dose of dark humor, and celebrates even the most basic successes with over-the-top hashtags (#NailedIt #BasicBodilyFunctions). This constant presence adds another layer to the experience, making you feel like you're part of some twisted reality TV show.

While the gameplay takes center stage, there's a surprisingly heartfelt story woven throughout. Samuel's life is a mess of bad decisions and broken relationships. As you progress, you uncover the reasons behind his current predicament, and the narrative takes a surprisingly poignant turn. It's a story about redemption, facing your demons (both literal and metaphorical), and learning to appreciate the little things in life, like, you know, being able to breathe without a button prompt.

"Manual Samuel" isn't a particularly long game. You can likely conquer it in a single sitting, especially if you're a master of coordination. However, its brevity is a strength. The frustration never outstays its welcome, and the tight pacing ensures the humor remains fresh. There's also a co-op mode, which adds a whole new layer of hilarity (and potential arguments) as you and a friend try to control Samuel together.

The game isn't for everyone though. The unconventional controls and dark humor will likely alienate some players. But for those who enjoy a challenge and appreciate a good dose of absurdist humor, it's a gem. It's a game that will test your patience, make you laugh out loud, and leave you with a newfound appreciation for the simple act of, well, being alive (and hopefully, in control of your own body).

In brief, "Manual Samuel" is a chaotic blend of humor, frustration, and surprisingly touching moments. The unconventional controls are a double-edged sword, offering a unique challenge but with a potential for rage-quitting. However, the game's brevity, dark humor, and surprisingly heartfelt story make it a memorable experience for those willing to take the plunge. Just remember, breathe. It's a button prompt, but hopefully, an involuntary one.

A quirky and hilarious game where you control every aspect of a character's daily life. The offbeat humor and challenging controls make for a uniquely entertaining experience. A fun choice for fans of unconventional gameplay.

The gameplay is super jank, but it's by design and it's so good! Really satisfying story and a fun little experience that is short enough for you to really sink your teeth into.
