Hey, manual breathers! The wait is over, our biggest update ever for Manual Samuel is here! We’ve overhauled the game with tons of quality-of-life improvements, bug fixes, and brand-new features to make Samuel’s awkward adventure even smoother (and weirder). We’ve also given Manual Samuel a technical facelift with a massive engine upgrade, better visuals, improved animations, and a brand-new audio system. The game now runs in borderless fullscreen, supports ultra-wide resolutions, and features better controller support. Oh, and did we mention? Some grandmas are now gangsters, coffee stains are

Billed as a dexterity adventure , Manual Samuel is the work of Norwegian studio Perfectly Paranormal and is a lighthearted take on the survival genre.
