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!

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 times. Don't worry, Cassiel is too and her increasing agitation towards hearing the same things over and over again changes the dialogue gradually and is just hilarious. Simple to understand and play and just a good time, I can not recommend enough.

As a fan of Manual Samuel which is made by the same devs, this game did not disapoint!

It's like The Sexy Brutale but with a sense of irreverent humor.

A rare game with writing that is (mostly) clever and funny from start-to-finish. It doesn't take very long to complete; I beat it in under 5 hours, but I skipped a good bit of the optional side-quests and collections. That said, I enjoyed it enough that I intend to jump back into it at some point to try and get tick off more of these optional objectives.
The game itself is a 2D puzzle game in which you, the angel Cassiel of Celerity, must save Heaven from complete and total annihilation. You do this by using a magical watch given to you by Azrael, the Angel of Death, that allows you to travel backwards or forwards through time. The kicker, though, is that you must do it all in just a single day, and Cassiel only woke up at noon!
The dialogue of the game is a high note; Cassiel is good-hearted, but brash and often (understandably) impatient, and listening to her get increasingly frustrated as she's forced to repeat conversations after having traveled back in time is a wonderfu...

I'd have bought this sooner if I'd known there was a third game coming.
