Is the game too short?

Thinking about buying it...

6 hours fast reading / clicking through some bits. 10 hours probably if done properly. Whether its too sort or not for its price is up to you. I found the visuals, music and whole package worth it.

It is fair priced in my opinion.
You even get a discount at release.

That said, that question is hard to deal with. If you wish a game which lasts long, then the game can be too short, with one playthrough circa 3-4 hours? If you are a quick reader, that is.

However, I cannot say the game turns out expensive because of that, if you consider all the other things and efforts the developers put into the game. It is a piece of art.

Whether you like it or not, is completely up to you.

If you like it, the 3-4 hours may even turn in 15 hours ~ if you go for multiple endings, etc. pp.

You could, but you do not have, put time into it.

Feels overpriced, at this price it would need to be a 60 hour highly replayable game.

What's too short for you? I feel I got good value for my money on a 8 hour complete time.

[Branik]

4 hours here. Fast reader tho.

I found it to be very entertaining so far, and well worth the price. People over harp on hour quantity, when they should be focused on hour quality. I have enjoyed every second so far!

I paid $20 for the game- less, I think, it's discounted. I got something like 8-10 hours of gameplay spread out over about 50 turns and several major events. And I liked that gameplay.

And the game *handily* has enough replay value to be worth trying at least two more times, possibly more if I were the kind of person who does things like "maximum gold playthrough just for giggles."

The kind of person who's easily bored by "blah blah characters talking lame let me click through and get to the decisions lol" would probably find the game less interesting and less 'worth it.'

four to ten hour games need to be less than $20 in my opinion

I am not condoning the practice of hours for dollar but I can not condone the analogy of movie vs game over price.

I just wanted you to know why I won't be purchasing, even if I am the niche audience.

for a $9.99 price tag, I would accept the short game

A gamer is going to see this and go buy this or let's say for a few more dollars get Rim World and have ten hours max turn into hundreds. So you know this is closer to reality.

Hey Steinaar! We do appreciate your feedback, but please would you stop posting the same message in multiple threads now? We get it -- you don't want to pick up the game up this price. And that's fine! But we did hear you the first time around, so it's not really necessary for you to be hanging around shouting it to anyone who might listen to you :)

price / time ratio feels off - esp for a game that primarily reading

[Lisato]

4 hours in one sitting, a little overpriced but definitelty worth

[Chrisme]

I took my time with a lot of reloading / restarting and needed 13 hours for the first playthrough. It all depends on the way you play.

And these 13 hours also felt more entertaining than 13 hours in some other games that I played lately. It may be short but it's some quality time you're getting out of it. The pricing seems fine to me in retrospective (more and I may have fretted too though).

Plus it's a game that let's you make some rather free decisions. Be the bad guy and just behead everyone who wronged you, you can get away with it. Playing the bleeding heart hippie can work too as long as you don't try to help everyone. That freedom is something worth supporting in my opinion. Too many streamlimed games these days that want to force you to play the way the creator thought things have to be.

I've been looking forward to this game for the past couple of months, but I'll have to wait a bit before I buy it :) I got way too many games to play at the moment, but the length I see people mentioning here seems to be just fine for me.

Rimworld and Yes, Your Grace aren't even in the same genre. You really can't compare them.

There's more to videogames than just how many hours you can get out of it. Not everyone wants to get 100s of hours out of every single videogame they buy.

Dunno. Loved each and every minute. Superb, really got me immersed in to the story. Did not feel dragged out nor way too short. It was perfect. From decisions to tie limits implied. Did i say the story was awesome?
