Manual Samuel, a physics-based comedy adventure from Norwegian team Perfectly ParaNormal, will launch this summer for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, Curve Digital has announced.

In Manual Samuel players must take control of recently dead Samuel, who after a meeting with Death himself is given a deal: live for 24 hours manually, or have his soul tortured in hell for all eternity.

In these 24 hours Samuel must breathe in, breath out, move left leg, right leg, blink, work, kiss, and even go to the toilet. All these functions must be carried out by the player.

“We’ve been really impressed with the enthusiasm for Manual Samuel that the team at Curve has shown,” commented Ozan Drøsdal, writer, Perfectly ParaNormal. “Curve’s support has enabled us to focus on creating a game that we wanted to make – and we’re excited to see the reaction to Samuel and his manual adventures once the game releases this summer. One thing is for sure – we’re all in deep faeces.”
