Manual Samuel Anniversary Edition
Hello fellow videogame enthusiasts! On this very day 4 years ago (and 42 days) the world changed forever. We're pleased to announce that today it will change once more. We present to you the Manual Samuel Anniversary Edition (Almost)! The game has recieved a long overdue overhaul
Hello fellow videogame enthusiasts!
On this very day 4 years ago (and 42 days) the world changed forever. We're pleased to announce that today it will change once more.
We present to you the Manual Samuel Anniversary Edition (Almost)!
The game has recieved a long overdue overhaul, as well as some additional content and features - like amazing comics and global leaderboards!
We have also made a certain bossfight make a little more sense from a game design perspective, which means that it is a bit shorter and a bit easier.
We realize that this will create a new speedrunning category, so in order to preserve the old category we have decided to keep the old version on a beta branch in Steam:
Just open properties, go to betas and select 'classic'.
We have tried to make the speedrunning experience more rewarding by implementing Steam leaderboards into the game,
this includes both the time attack levels and the game as a whole, additionally we have added an in-game timer you can enable in the options menu.
Here is a ridiculously overproduced trailer to mark the anniversary (almost), and a full list of changes below:
Changes:

Each time attack level now has a global leaderboard
Added a global leaderboard for speedruns, also added an option to show the timer while playing
Death4Life comics are available to read in the main menu in both English and Japanese
Added Japanese localization
The game now saves data based on steam user ID, multiple users on the same computer will no longer have to share save files. Files saved in the old location are still kept and synced with the cloud to make the transition smooth.
Reduced size on disk from approximately 2gb to 500mb
The main menu has gotten a small overhaul
Satan fight is slightly easier
Playing with keyboard should now work 100% even if you have a controller plugged in
Button prompts now update to reflect the last used controller
Improved kickflip animation
Increased texture resolution of most of the characters in the game
Car clutch sensitivity has been increased to compensate for inaccurate controllers
Added in-game achievement view
Fixed exploit and potential crash bug where you could skip Death vomiting sequences by pausing/unpausing in Sam Blasts level
Fixed issue where Death's vomit would sometimes hang in the air and not fall. (A truly immersion-breaking experience)
Fixed issue where interrupting the robots aggro animation by shooting at them, would cause them to not aim correctly when shooting at you.
Updated input system to the latest version, this should hopefully take care of some controller-detection issues people have been experiencing
Updated Fabric Audio to latest version
Fixed an issue where pausing the game during the intro section of a music track would make the track start the loop section too early when unpausing, causing overlapping music
Sam actually takes a leak on the towels
Sam actually takes a leak on the floor
Sam actually takes a leak everywhere, including, but not limited to, himself
A number of character animations has been improved, some characters are now less floaty
Added small background details to tie the game further with Helheim Hassle
A bunch of other fixes that was backported from the Switch version

In Helheim Hassle, the sequel to Manual Samuel, you get to:

Die and be resurrected yet again!
Attach and detach limbs to solve puzzles.
Meet a cast of over 80 characters in the ever growing Perfectly Paranormal universe.
Have a brand new skeleton sidekick!
Check out Helheim Hassle's Release trailer down below!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSsRm1NFzDA
Helheim Hassle is a narrative adventure game that is as much about friendship as it is about body parts. From the same universe (and set on the same Tuesday, in fact) as previous hit Manual Samuel, comes this macabre adventure where you play as Bjørn, a pacifist viking who hates the idea of dying and going to Valhalla… who then ends up dying and getting taken to Valhalla. When Bjørn is resurrected to assist with a task for the mysterious Pesto, he sees a way to negotiate his way out. Using Bjørn’s undying corpse with its ability to detach and combine limbs at will, players must solve challenging puzzles and navigate tricky levels in order to retrieve a certain magical item... In return, Pesto will try to grant Bjørn a permanent residence in Helheim - what a hassle!
