Manual Samuel

About

Manual Samuel follows a spoiled rich kid forced to survive a day of basic human functions after a bizarre run-in with a septic tank and Death. Players control Samuel’s mundane tasks like breathing, blinking, and walking, mechanics that quickly turn absurd as he fumbles through awkward social interactions and physical challenges. The game blends point-and-click adventure with clumsy simulation, letting you play solo or with others to navigate his hilariously inept journey. The game’s charm comes from its over-the-top humor and intentionally frustrating controls that mimic Samuel’s incompetence. With a 72% on Metacritic, it’s a quirky pick for fans of offbeat comedy and cooperative chaos. Released in 2016, it’s available on PC, consoles, and Switch, offering a short but memorable experience that leans into its ridiculous premise without taking itself seriously.
