How long to beat?

[Martha Pepper]

Anyone have any rough estimates on how long it takes to finish? There's no info on the How Long To Beat website yet.
For context, I like to explore every nook and cranny of games, and take them pretty slowly. I usually find I triple the times expected to finish any game.

Thanks :)

EDIT: I'll be playing on normal mode.

This isn't just a 3rd person shooter. It's got puzzles, and part of it is how long it takes you to figure out how to do them. Some of the puzzles can be "perfected" for bonuses so there's also that time. There's also an integrated section where you can use game resources to "buy" the first 24 chapters of the web comic to read at your leisure. Reading those will take quite a bit of time, perhaps more than the actual game itself. But I would plan for at least 12 hours and probably 24+.
Difficulty Mode only affects combat and the price of healing refills. I've found the general combat to be reasonably easy (that is, gaining more resources than you spend on healing) even on Hard. It's the boss fights that it really makes a difference on, and there are only 3 of those.

Thanks for the reply, I bought it anyway and after a couple of hours I'm really enjoying it! Knowing that I probably have around 40+ hours more to go plus the comic to read makes me very happy :)

I spent a bit over 15 hours on it with all collectibles and most achievements.
