The Holy Gosh Darn
Six hours separate Heaven from oblivion. You play as Cassiel, an angel on a mission to stop an overwhelming phantom invasion and save the afterlife. A mysterious clock gifted by Death lets you bend time, letting you jump through the day from dawn to dusk. Travel freely between past and present, exploring Heaven, Hell, Earth, and Helheim as you uncover the secrets of a God-created artifact and race against the clock.
Time travel is the core mechanic: use your trusty watch to slip to any moment in the day, learn new information, and watch your actions in the past ripple through the present. Insights from the future can accelerate events in the past, so every second counts. Expect a riotous narrative adventure filled with a quirky cast, shifting locations, and over-the-top set pieces as you fend off an army of Phantoms trying to overrace Heaven—a place you already call home.
The Holy Gosh Darn blends Metroidvania-style progression with inventive puzzles and bold humor. Dive into a world where time travel fuels exploration, combat, and puzzle solving, and where dialogue winks at you as you race against the clock. The game playfully asks life's big questions while delivering plenty of outrageous moments—and yes, you might even want to skip dialogue to keep the pace.
Time travel is designed for everyone, including players who aren’t normally fans of the genre. Sprint, dash, and jump through afterlife locales as you uncover new information and unlock narrative strands triggered by progression, time, space, and logic.
Key features include:
- Over 6.5 hours of fully voiced dialogue with optional time-saving shortcuts (including a dedicated “Shut up” button to skip it all).
- Time travel as the central mechanic, letting you hop across hours and locations to alter outcomes.
- Acrobatic movement—sprint, dash, and jump—as you sprint through Heaven, Hell, Earth, and Helheim.
- A witty cast and ever-changing environments that react to your temporal choices.
- 23 Heavenly Elders to insult and 4,250 dogs to encounter (none can be petted).
- A shared universe with Manual Samuel and Helheim Hassle, playable in any order.
The Holy Gosh Darn delivers outrageous humor, brain-tickling puzzles, and a chaotic, time-bending adventure that keeps you grinning from start to finish.
