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
- 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!

fun
This game is annoying on purpose. The whole point is that you must manually walk, breathe, and blink, failing repeatedly while Death doing a bad Aaron Paul impression loops the same background dialogue about kick flips and the narrator sighs at you in disappointment.
Si quieres un desafío, este es tu juego. No sé si llega al nivel de I Am Bread, pero te va a hacer sufrir y pondrá a prueba tu coordinación y la precisión de tus movimientos. Necesitarás mucha práctica, paciencia y perseverancia. Verás que, echándole unas cuantas horas, poco a poco te irás acostumbrando y acabarás consiguiéndolo. La historia es una fumada, como ya se puede ver, y además es bastante corta. Lo que realmente se disfruta es la dificultad de los movimientos y la coordinación que exige para hacer todo correctamente; ahí está el verdadero reto y la "diversión". Si alguien se anima a intentarlo, lo recomiendo. ;)

This game is peak. While fighting to breathe and blink ingame, I forget to do it in real life. 10/10.
This game is fun to play but the game sometimes doesn't give you instructions on what to do so you have to figure it on your own either by looking it up on internet or by trial and error. But one thing I'm certain about this game is that the developers actually tried to make a humorous game, the dialogues in this game are engaging and the game constantly tries to ragebait you in every level, it does that often to check for your patience. The artstyle in game feels I'm watching a cartoon animation. You cannot save the game progress but you can restart a level. I finished the story alone but there is co-op mode to finish it with another player. The game was short and frustrating but decent if bought on sale.
Esse jogo foi uma grata surpresa. Amei cada segundo jogando.
Such a highly entertaining and hilariously frustrating game. Having to manually control everything—from blinking and breathing to walking—is a brilliant concept that keeps you laughing the entire time. The narrator’s commentary is gold and thoroughly immerses you in its comedy. In my opinion, the length is ideal; if it were any longer, the controls might have gotten tedious, but they left it at the sweet spot. A very unique little game that is definitely worth picking up on a sale.
Слишком сложно
Perfectly Paranormal was on a mission to create the least entertaining game and were adamantly against every and all fun things a game could offer. They held meetings and had many talks, sometimes even in their free time and eventually they reached a consensus that this would be it. They rejoiced and Manual Samuel was born. They lowered the bar so much that previously games deemed seriously unfun were given new life as somewhat enjoyable, all thanks to Perfectly Paranormal.
