Description

In just six hours, Heaven will be obliterated—unless you can save it! 

From the team behind Manual Samuel and Helheim Hassle, in The Holy Gosh Darn, you play as the angel Cassiel on a mission to stop the destruction of the afterlife. To do that, you'll harness the power of time travel by using a mysterious magical clock given to you by Death. Jump freely between past and present as you uncover secrets across Heaven, Hell, Earth, and Helheim. Insights from the future could accelerate events in the past, so make every second count!

The Holy Gosh Darn is a riotous narrative adventure built around time-travel as a core mechanic. Wield your trusty time-traveling watch and hop any point during the day, uncovering the secrets of a mysterious artifact created by God himself. Along the way, you'll meet a hilarious cast of characters and explore ever-shifting locations as you try to prevent an army of Phantoms from overrunning heaven. Which is really annoying, because you live there.

This hilarious action-adventure blends time travel with Metroidvania progression, inventive puzzles and over-the-top set pieces. The Holy Gosh Darn will answer life's most burning questions - like why time travel makes you barf, why why swearing is reserved for angels, and why it's completely fine to rudely skip dialogue when you're racing against the clock to save Heaven. The trilogy of The Holy Gosh Darn, Manual Samuel and Helheim Hassle might all be in the same universe, but they can be played in any order you like!

Prepare for outrageous humor, brain-tickling puzzles, and a chaotic adventure that'll keep you grinning from start to finish!

Features:

  • Over 6.5 hours of fully voiced dialogue - One dedicated “Shut up” button that can skip it all!

  • Time travel game for everyone, even if you hate time travel games

  • Sprint, dash and jump through the afterlife as you uncover secrets across both space AND time!

  • Unique time-pressured narrative requires players to hurry along NPCs as they uncover new information.

  • Uncover fresh narrative strands which are triggered by progression, time, space and logic.

  • 23 Heavenly Elders to insult! Gotta diss them all!

  • Exactly 4,250 dogs - none that you can pet.

Had so much fun with this one! Great dialogue and puzzles. Loved the combination of point-and-click with platformer. Loved the side quests and characters. Look forward to playing the previous games by this developer!

This one is the first one I’ve played in the trilogy. Got it when it was 80% off. And it's 100% worth it. I really love the voice acting. Cassiel has a beautifully crisp voice that reminds me of opening a bottle of soda

I played Manual Samuel, the first game in the now known "Tuesday Trilogy," but I only played the first part and didn't get super far. I didn't dislike it- life got in the way. The second game, Helheim Hassle, I didn't

Playing The Holy Gosh Darn is like playing an Adult Swim cartoon! Or really, a whole series of them, because the game takes 4-5 hours to complete. But that's time well-spent because The Holy Gosh Darn is both really

This may just be my favorite adventure game now. A solid 10, I would not change a thing. The dialogue is witty, hilarious, and extensive. Being a time-loop game, you may be worried about hearing the same thing 10,000
