About Manual Samuel
Manual Samuel is a hand-drawn adventure about Samuel, a spoiled rich kid who makes a deal with Death. To survive for 24 hours, you must control his body manually, handling tasks such as breathing, blinking, drinking, walking and talking one clumsy input at a time. Death accompanies Samuel as he gets dressed, drives to work and fights robots, and you try to keep him alive long enough to return to his lavish life and girlfriend.
Control Samuel
Using a keyboard or controller, you manage Samuel’s actions throughout the day, from basic bodily functions to working and driving. The game challenges you to guide him through each task without letting him flop back into the afterlife.

Each chapter has Speedrun and Challenge modes. The game also includes five in-game comics that explore the backstories of its characters.
Art and audio
Manual Samuel features hand-drawn 2D art and animation, a soundtrack by Sondre Jensen and Ozan Drøsdal, and over 600 lines of voiced dialogue.
