Meet Samuel, he’s handsome, wealthy and most importantly – dead. A deal with Death gives Samuel one last chance to live again if he can survive a whole day doing everything manually. Manual Samuel is a classic 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!

I guess if you beat this game with your partner and you didn't kill each other, you are soulmates or something

Sam still has better posture than most young people. Sometimes all you need is a little slap of reality to remind you that you're not as superior as you think you are. Or in Samuel's case, a little truck to the back.
The Story:
You play as Samuel. A useless corporate snot-nose who's never worked a day is his life because of daddy's big bank account. One day the pretentious clown gets wrecked in a way we'd wish all our annoying coworkers would and finds he has died and gone to hell.
On your way into hell, Death himself learns that your soul is apparently very valuable and offers you a deal. He will grant you your life back in exchange for all your hell currency, simply called "soul-shreds." The only catch is you have to survive 24 hours doing everything manually. That includes breathing.
The Gameplay:
The gameplay is very simple in theory. But like everything it's easier said than done. You move along either left or right through the environments like those classic side scroller beat-em-ups and interact with whichever objects you need along the way to progress. All the while you have to manage Samuel's basic human functions including stepping forward with each leg, standing up straight, breathing and blinking.
The game is rather short but does a great job of keeping the gameplay fresh for each level by changing what you need to do within the level. For example, one level has you driving to work while another has you controlling a large mech. This greatly helps an amusing concept from overstaying it's welcome and becoming stale.
Some Pros:
- Fantastic writing/voice acting
- Enjoyable and unique gameplay
- Controller support (The recommended play setting.)
- Often on sale
- Local Co-op
- Creative artstyle and use of colour
Some Cons:
- Can be rage inducing for the short temper types.
- Apart from the time trials and co-op, there's not much replay value.
Conclusion:
Manual Samuel is a cute little indie game with a lot of heart. It's hit or miss and isn't for everyone but doesn't overstay its welcome and is worth the few laughs you get out for what you pay. Especially when on sale. Definitely an interesting if not simple concept with great execution and clever use of its creative choices.
10/10, Will learn to breathe again :D

It is damn funny in an irritating but pleasant way. Give it a shot for a good laugh

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!

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.
