What is Manual Samuel - Last Tuesday Edition?
This hand-drawn 2D adventure follows Samuel, a spoiled rich kid who makes a deal with Death and must survive a day controlling his body manually. Across chapters, you manage breathing, blinking, walking, speaking, and tasks like driving. In local co-op, two players control different parts of Samuel's body.
For you if...
- +you enjoy dark comedy and a talkative narrator
- +you like awkward controls that demand constant multitasking
- +you want local co-op controlling one character together
Not for you if...
- −you want easy movement without managing basic body functions
- −you prefer longer games with less repetitive gameplay
What players say
83% of 3,563 reviews are positive
Players praise the premise, dialogue, and narrator's delivery, but often say the manual controls become repetitive and frustrating. Some find the humor unfunny, and a recent player reports game-stopping bugs near the end.
