How do you "win" the game and how long is it?

Please and thank you.

^^ I think this Discussion should probably have one for spoilers, but I think the more appropriate question is, how many hours of content will this game have? I.E., 20 hours upon completion? (I'm asking a Mod or a Dev to answer).

So 'Winning' the game is basically attempting to get your dads acceptance to your decision on what to do with the laundromat!

Play time is always a bit of a hard call to make - but if we are talking 'critical path' (only focusing on making money, not a lot of game playing, going straight from start to end credits) You're looking in the ballpark of 20 odd hours (give or take)

Obviously playing games and just vibing in arcade gives that a little more, and completionists will probably find themselves 30+

Hope that helps!

I got end credits and all upgrades in about 30 hours, I was playing games too and not trying to finish as fast as possible so the 30+ the Gary says sounds about right.

Still have plenty of goals to reach on the games though.

I would love to play the different arcades but not so much into management style games.

I'm assuming you cannot bypass all the other stuff.

You don't have to do the chores if you don't want to. You can play the arcades all you want.

But the caveat is you can only play the arcades you have. If you want more arcades, then you have to do chores and save up to buy what you want. There is a space limit to how many games you can have, and expansions to the arcade room costs money. That means earning more. Or you can resort to just the slow grind (at the beginning at least) of emptying your change machine hopper and the arcade hoppers for money and banking it all.

Should there be a sandbox mode and allow you to buy whatever 'cades you want and skip out on the management stuff? I can go for that as well - if the developers are willing to do it.
