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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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

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!

Ein regelrechter Fiebertraum xD aber positiv! ich wollte das Spiel wegen der Mechanics spielen aber im Endeffekt, fand ich die Story sogar am besten. Sehr empfehlenswertes Game wenn man für ein paar Stunden Spass (und ein wenig Frust) haben will.
Manual Samuel was an enjoyable co-op game, but I think that cool idea could, in theory, be embraced even further. What makes this co-op game unique compared to others is that both players control different body parts of the same character. Instead of just managing legs, arms, and the head, one player also needs to control breathing and blinking, which ensures the controls never feel generic. There are even a few minigames that add extra "body work," like speaking. As with most great co-op games, you have a classic win-win situation here: great teamwork feels rewarding, while bad teamwork—where Samuel constantly fails at simple tasks—is hilarious. However, the only but major problem, as you can see from my playtime, is that the game isn't very long. This makes the overall experience feel quite linear, quickly moving from one chapter to another without many challenging sections. The only part that really felt like a challenge was the grand finale. Personally, if you are interested in the unique mechanic of controlling one human being as a team, you definitely won't go wrong with Manual Samuel. Just view it more as a "tech demo" meant to demonstrate an interesting gameplay mechanic.
норм
在一个平常的下午,和朋友一起手动操控塞缪尔。是一个很有趣的游戏,盆友玩得也挺开心的,旁白还很幽默,就是我控制呼吸的两个手指有点麻了 整个游戏还是很好玩的,适合和朋友一起玩 目前通关了剧情模式,剩下的以后再看吧
Got to drive some homies around in my fully functional manual car, while having to Inhale, Exhale, and Blink while also dodging old ladies crossing the road and being an accomplice to a few drive-by shootings every couple of blocks. 10/10 Would get hit by a truck again!
i can't breathe i can't breathe i can't breathe also can't blink can't move CAN'T DO ANYTHING (that's cool)
