A short game with a quite interesting gameplay and story. Manual Samuel is uncomfortable in a good way, which is what makes the gameplay exciting

40%PC

A good and dumb funny game. The humor was pretty good but not incredible. It was a good length for what it was

90%PC

The game was fun, had a couple of good laughs. Great Control scheme.

80%PC

In short, is a hilarious and charismatic game, that is short to have a great time and at the same time unique by their innovative gameplay. The game is a 8.25/10.

60%Linux

The humor is ok. Some of it is funny mostly it wasn't. The controls are annoying, but that's the whole point. The final section was really frustrating. At least the game doesn't really punish you for messing up. I got this for free.

70%PC

Short little time waste game with a decently funny story. Not groundbreaking by any means but if for free or heavily discounted, grab it for a rainy day.

Cute little game, but not a lot of replayability unless you want a 100% achievement score.

It's an interesting take on 'Manual' controls, the game itself is pretty short, I liked the narration :D

Interesting idea and frustrating in a fun way, until the last boss; being bad at timing those sliding bar quicktime events made that a horrible experience.

Extremely unique and funny. Short enough to not outstay its welcome.

Tries too hard to be funny. I just finished because I had time and was bored anyway.

A great game that allows the player to think more about the automatic functions of our own bodies. Imaging having to think about every step you make, every inhale and exhale as well as literally every blink. Well, the game provides for this sensation and doesn't overstate it's welcome, having just the right longevity. I think more games should be this contained and this focused, while fully exploring mechanics.

Five Word Review: Walk, breathe, blink, stumble. Dammit.
Favorite Thing: Controlling Samuel is quite the (mostly) unique experience.
Least Favorite Thing: Far too much trial and error in the final "boss fight".

Date Completed: 2017-08-22
Playtime: ~ 2h
Enjoyment: 7/10
Recommendation: Yeah. It's just short enough that the mechanics don't overstay their welcome

The narrator and funny characters are what make the game. Gameplay mechanics and story are nothing to write home about. I'd spend my money else where if narrated games like Bastion and The Stanley Parable don't appeal to you at all.

It's a very short game; Completion time falls within the two hour refund window for Steam.
