Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
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!

My brother bought it for me and so I was obligated to beat it at least once. Played offline, so the playtime isn't correct. QWOP mixed with The Stanley Parable and a dash of early 2000's 'lol random' humor. If I played this 20 years ago on Kongregate I would've thought it was the most amazing thing ever. Worth every penny I spent on it.
Угарная игра, где вам придется вручную управлять каждым движением главного героя, включая дыхание (!) и моргание (!!). Идея, задумка и исполнение просто класс. Приятная картинка, графика и мультипликация. Вкратце про сюжет. После смерти Самуэль заключает сделку со Смертью и получает второй шанс, но с одним условием: он должен прожить 24 часа, делая абсолютно все вручную. Игра слов в названии. Можно проходить в одиночку или в локальном кооперативе, где два игрока управляют разными половинами тела Сэмуэля, но мне кажется лучший вариант прохождения соло. Короче норвежцы нормально сделали. Рекомендую!

This game is SO annoying but at the same time so fascinating - steering Samuel manually in his daily life. The name of the game is exactly what it is - it takes some time to get used to the steering but after some time it gets less challenging. The story is nice, well made and thought through. The characters make sense and advancing in this game is also easy enough without making it frustrating. Only tested the singleplayer-version though, although it seems to have some co-op mode according to the game's tags. Can't say anythign bad about this game. so simply: recommended as a short filler between other games.
[h1] Идеальная игра для людей, которые впервые берут геймпад в руки [/h1] Короткая и забавная игрушка, которая научит водить машину на механике, держать осанку и давать отпор САТАНЕ(с этим сражением немного переборщили). Удачного кикфлипа.
比较轻松的4h左右的美漫搞笑风小品级游戏,玩法是对“自动式托管的生物本能”的拆解和qte化,支持多人游戏,理论上一起玩应该会比一个人纯qte有意思一点。旁白还挺典型的无厘头幽默的 某种意义上其实是一种对恐慌发作/濒死体验的游戏式的还原……呼吸,呼,吸。眨眼,再眨眼,不要忘记眨眼。走路,左脚,右脚,左脚,右脚。抓住东西不要掉。说话一个词一个词的往外蹦 。保持直立不要摊成一团……

aq oyunda manuel araba sürmeyi öğrendim lan ♥♥♥ iyi oyun
sabır zorlamak için birebir. yeterince huzurluysanız ve huzurunuzu bölmek istiyorsanız öneririm çok iyi bir sabır testi. şaka bir yana hikayesiyle beraber beğendiğim bir oyun oldu
Это веселая и уникальная игра, в которой мы с другом отлично провели время. Мы управляли каждой частью тела главного героя Самуэля, от чего мы ржали как кони, но и материли друг друга из-за косяков. Игра полна неожиданных поворотов и юмора, а яркая графика и забавное музыкальное сопровождение создают отличную атмосферу. Рекомендую всем, кто хочет развлечься и посмеяться вместе с друзьями.
