About the Game

Tired of software working properly for you?  Wishing that basic tasks were far more difficult?

Now introducing: Manual Loading™.

A puzzle rage game about trying to load the game itself.  Complete with 35 puzzles of varying difficulty and frustration levels.  Think outside the box, get creative with the concept of gameplay, and enjoy the "A-ha!" moments when they come.

Raving reviews from play testers include but are not limited to:

"That's fantastic honey I'm proud of you." - My Mom

"Thank you for reaching out to us! Due to a high volume of requests, we may be unable to review your product." - IGN

"That is terrible, I would quit the game right then and never look back." - Jalen

"I'll let you know my opinion of the game once it's done loading." - Jade

"You should add a level that does..." - Five people who are partial sources for your suffering

Please note this game is NOT STEAM DECK COMPATABLE, just trust me it isn't.  Play it (but not on Steam Deck) and figure out why.

No AI was used to make this game (I hope the quality of the artwork made that obvious), all of the suffering you receive was devised, implemented, and tested by humans.
