You play as Samuel, who is a spoiled loathsome guy who ends up ded and resurrected for 24 hours in attempt to regain his life. During the 24 hours you must control Samuel's body and basic functions manually, including periodic breathing, blinking, walking, and...... other things.

A controller is almost a requirement otherwise certain areas can get bugged. Each body part and function is controlled by a different button and you have to move everything in tandem. You will get on-screen hints and prompts but there are times when this didn't happen for me and I got more than a little frustrated trying to figure out wtf I was supposed to be doing. There are also those slider button quick prompts which are sometimes built to fail and sometimes, again, just frustrating.

At first it was interesting and a little humorous but by the end of the game, which is short, I was so frustrated I almost quit before finishing it. I'm glad I completed it but I have zero interest in doing anything else like the time trials or whatever extra carpal tunnel torture content there is.

You also can't save in the middle of levels so if you shut down and come back you will be put back at the beginning of whatever level you were on. Not a HUGE deal because the levels are pretty short but there are a couple that require such irritating button sequences that losing the progress might make some people (me) rage a bit.

I initially started this because I played the demo for The Holy Gosh Darn and laughed my face off so much I got the full game and decided to try the others by the same dev. Aside from seeing more from a reoccurring character, Death, I don't really see why you would need to play this at all.

I give this one a strong MEH erring on the side of NO for me based on length of content to irritation ratio. Quirky concept but that's about all I got out of it. 2.5/5

What a lovely game.

Whimsical and hilarious to the very end. I love the concept of this game, it has such an original set of mechanics.
The only negative thing I could say is that even though it's duration is perfect, I missed playing around with mechanics a little more in interesting ways that the final boss introduces, but still, this is a gem and a must-play.
