A time travel game that has 6000+ lines of voiced dialogue that constantly changes at the drop of a hat. Grab your coffee and put on your chill pants because this is gonna be a shitshow! *SMALL SPOILERS*

unlabelledView post →Review by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34633003-Gaming-Masterpieces/lists/] Gaming Masterpieces - The greatest games of all time on Steam. Is this game a masterpiece? No, but it is quite funny nevertheless. The game builds on the older games from Perfectly Paranormal - Manual Samuel and Helheim Hassle. All use a similar art style, all have the same quirky humor, all take place in the same world... and all take place on a Tuesday. The Holy Gosh Darn plays differently from the…

unlabelledView post →This is a hilarious time-traveling adventure, part of a trilogy, but it can be played as a standalone as well as the previous games. You play as the angel Castiel, who will try to save heaven from being destroyed, a small mistake made by Death from the Manual Samual game, and on the same day, Tuesday. You'll be able to rewind time and fast forward it only from the afternoon when you wake up until the disaster happens. The only solution to saving heaven is to use the Holy Gosh Darn.…

unlabelledView post →Probably the biggest indie (..?) flop of the year: - low quality voices, i'm pretty sure they were recorded in some streamer's bathroom on a yeti mic from 2005, zero editing and mastering. - very annoying and pretty woke characters. - awful time travelling mechanic that gets old really fast. - the controls are just.. BAD. And unresponsive (ctrl+space for jump/dash works like 20% of the time). - zero mouse support. - made in unity and probably stealing loads of private data from our computers.…

It has many missable achievements + a speedrun achievement. Approximate amount of time to 100%: ~16h+ Estimated achievement difficulty: 5/10 Minimum number of playthroughs needed: at least 2 (normal playthrough + speedrun) Is there a good guide available: Not yet.

unlabelledView post →The game has a great sense of humour that is paired with comically cartoon visuals. The story and character interactions get players to think outside of the box when on their path in order to not confuse themselves with several time travelling loops. I found the time-travelling mechanism to be so much fun as it a was a unique way to keep players on a their toes on a fast paced level. The game has several good points to it, and the addition of outstanding voice acting coupled with flawless…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is good. Real good. The visuals are well-done, the writing is on point and made me laugh out loud several times, and the gameplay leads to interesting puzzles and mechanics. However, there is one segment that is keeping me from recommending the game. Later on in the game, you have to tail someone through several alleyways without them spotting you. During this, you have to avoid different hazards or use your time travel to disable them before you enter. Not a bad concept. However, I…

Well, half of the time or more, that is precisely what crosses my mind while playing this game and trying to do everything in the six hours we have to save heaven in this witty, hilarious game. And I admit that for a while, I was a little lost but then it suddenly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →17. The Holy Gosh Darn is one of the few games where I think the humor actually lands. It's also a time loop game and I have this weird tendency to love those?! Mechanics are solid, voice acting is stellar. Give it a chance! store.steampowered.com/app/1466230/...

unlabelledView post →Here's the third game of The Complete Tuesday Trilogy. Out of these three, this one is easily the best. It's probably good even as a stand-alone game, but I played the previous games of the story first so I don't know if the references to those games will just baffle you if you don't have the context. If you can endure to play the complete trilogy, this game truly shines. This is a really good and funny adventure game, but while it's a bit more like traditional point-and-click games than the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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 funny and also super engaging due to its awesomely impatient time travel mechanic. The premise of the game is that you're trying to save Heaven in six hours, but every Heavenly being you encounter just wants to waste your time with blather. After all, they have an eternity to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OMG YES!!! The Holy Gosh Darn is blessed with the best voice cast ever, I am extreeeemely proud of the voice aspect of the game so this nomination makes me VERY HAPPY :D Shout out to our amazing amazing cast!
unlabelledView post →I'v just gone trough the whole story and i have to say it was an amazing journey, From sitting chill on a bench in heaven to being cast trough time and space, The humour is awesome, and the timetravel is funny as hell even if you hear the same voice line 100 times (Most can be skipped) There are some of the time puzzles that made my brain crumble but it was all worth it when i got it right. On the Negative side, i wish it was a bit longer, didnt want it to end, But ofc if you do all the side…

unlabelledView post →A curious hybrid of adventure and metroidvania. We must save the Heaven, but there's only 6 hours until the end. So time-travel will be very helpful. + Only logical actions. The game gives to you all required clues and writes them in the journal. + Minigames that gives some action between walking and talking. + Pleasant main heroes. + Humor, sometimes dark. + Colorful art style that combines 2D and 3D. + The game provides ways to skip repeating content. Our hero uses short phrases during talk,…

unlabelledView post →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 even know about. However, THIS game spoke to me, and I'm glad I played it through. It's a fantastic game, where you need ZERO knowledge of the previous games to enjoy it. The puzzles were enjoyable, the gameplay is fun, and the characters are REALLY enjoyable. Overall, a great…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finished The Holy Gosh Darn last night. What a game! It's one of the funniest modern adventures I've played, and also one of the best time travel games! If you have not played this one, it's so worth your time. I got it for a few bucks on Fanatical. A few thoughts below!
unlabelledView post →I really liked this game ! Very funny and the pacing is great. I was never bored playing it. The only thing I regret is that you can't continue playing after the end of the game to do all the side quests :( And you can't save on multiple files, so it's not possible to go back to do the side quests... Except for this negative point, I fully recommend this game !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2024 is almost over, so I figured I'd share my GOTY-list here. It's in Norwegian, but the top three are: Drova: Forsaken Kin - Amazing single player RPG STALKER 2 - Flawed, but I still love it The Holy Gosh Darn - This year's funniest game spillhistorie.no/2024/12/25/s...
unlabelledView post →Absolutely loved this game! I tried the free demo and was sold immediately. The dialogues are witty, the characters are funny, the situations are absurd And there are dogs! Having inevitable doom approach quicker than you'd like only to have to go back and fix it again and again and again, brought me back to my childhood when I was playing Zelda Majora's Mask. Play this if you like: - puzzle games - dogs - witty characters - absurdity - insulting elders - drinking coffee - swearing - being…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Holy Gosh Darn is absolutely fantastic. A brilliantly crafted experience filled with hilarious writing from start to finish. There's a surprising amount of hidden features and scenes to discover that will take a keen eye to uncover. I may have accidentally blasted through the game and missed well over half of the dialogue and sidequests... Definitely will be returning to Holy Gosh Darn to explore the rest of the game I missed!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the funniest games I've played! Excellent writing, not necessary to play the other titles beforehand or anything, but you do get some fun references if you did. 5/5 Really great!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was so fun lots of laughs—my favorite game of the three. Ties everything together so nicely.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just played through The Holy Gosh Darn, very nice time travel adventure game. Also I always enjoy games that makes fun of Christianity since I grew up being taught to believe in it Next up, Blippo+, I'm very excited about this one. I want to watch alien TV while I do level design.
unlabelledView post →Just FYI, one of the achievements (minor spoiler) requires you to play a skill game that is like whack a mole and the controls make it almost impossible. Both my keyboard and my controller wouldn't consistently hit the diagonal 'moles'. Even after memorizing the combination of button presses, I couldn't pass because wrong whacks with minus points from your score. I found this game like their others: It seems fun at first but gets old real quick.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, I took breaks but I always come back to it and never play anything in between. I am telling my friends to play this. I never leave a review on any game, but this is one of my favorites. The humor, story line, dialogue were all beautifully done! If i could be a voice actor for the next one, I would 110% jump at the opportunity!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Take part in a divine comedy in The Holy Gosh Darn, a riveting time loop adventure game from @perfectlyparano.bsky.social and @yogscastgames.bsky.social that is just as mechanically pleasing as it is funny. Read our review of this playable cartoon here - foreverclassicgames.com/reviews/2024...
unlabelledView post →This is fully voice acted, with puzzles and amazing hilarious dialogue. The amount of times I find myself laughing with snarky characters This is like a weird cauldron mix of Monty python, Rick and Morty and good omens, and I love it. We need more games like this
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well written and pretty gosh darn funny. Hint: Use 180-820 at the phone booth!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun adventure game with a cool time loop mechanic. Not too difficult, but the writing keeps it engaging. There's also a lot of fun side content and secrets to discover. Funny writing and characters make this one to remember. Easily my favorite of the Tuesday Trilogy!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THE HOLY GOSH DARN is a fresh breath and fun times over and over through 6 hours (between 12:00-18:00 to be exact) on a Thuesday (Same thuesday as Manual Samual and Hellheim Hassle) And going over and over through those 6 hours so we can save the world from beeing blown up! We need THE HOLY GOSH DARN! <3 The game is a bit hard, BUT not too hard, its always a solotion and just challenging (in a good way). I like that I have to make some of the game as a puzzle to make things in time. Love how…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brilliant little game. Writing is sharp and the voice acting is on point, all the subtle differences when you're repeating conversations are a nice touch. Love the way it starts to layer in elements to the central puzzle.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Holy Gosh Darn is OUT NOW on PC & Console! Angel Cassiel is waiting for you to join her to jump through time, meet some kooky characters, and save Heaven from going boom. We’ve got cute dogs, elder insults, and unmissable adventures coming out the wazoo! 😇 #indiegames
unlabelledView post →I'm grateful for the bsky carousel update because the next set of my The Holy Gosh Darn fancomic is, uhhhhhhhhh, 15 pages. I might be a bit unhinged about this damn game series. Just a little.
unlabelledView post →This game is so much fun :3 I sat on gods throne, puked in multiple spots, pissed off my frens (sorry) and forgot what was in my inventory due to too much time travelling. Would count (and pet those) dawgs until the world explodes again!
