just buy indie games lol
Those have manuals you can read on the ride home?
Actually there is a company called limited run games I think that goes all out and prints physical copies of some indie games with instructions and bonus stuff. It's pretty awesome but takes a while to get it.
Ok that is pretty awesome
These days I'm driving on the way home.
Yes actually, but it's not the type of manual that you're thinking of, since they're indie games they very rarely will have a physical release so the manual will be in the form of a downloadable, generally more focusing on how the game was made or the backstory of why the game was made or a downloadable art segment/soundtrack of the art styles of the game.
these downloadable unfortunately tend to start to disappear as the developers of the game or the company starts becoming larger and larger.
