The numbers, and the date
The verifiable timing here is one reviewer’s roughly 12-hour first playthrough, published 16 October 2026 on PC. The same reviewer describes a much faster repeat run, illustrating how prior knowledge changes the experience. Neither observation predicts a new player’s speed, and neither establishes a completionist average.
No main-plus-extras or 100-percent time is verified by this audit. A 6–8 hour developer estimate repeated by guide sites is not retained without the original statement. Plan for multiple sessions rather than treating any single report as a guaranteed finish time.
Why two players disagree
Loop duration and total playtime are different measurements. The reviewer describes an initial one-minute allowance and a thirteen-minute maximum; discovering routes takes many attempts. Time spent exploring, rereading clues, or attempting optional challenges adds to total playtime. A repeat run with solutions already known is not a useful first-playthrough benchmark.
