How long can this game be?
I checked how long to beat and it says 51hrs for completion. Idk why but I doubt it. How long can it take to explore the whole world and solve every puzzle and secret? I saw some people with 200 and 300hrs too

I beated the ''story'' in 20 hours. Depending on how fast you're solving the puzzles you can do it in less or more. There are also many other puzzles, that are what gives it a lot more hours. Secret places and so many details that you couldn't find them all in 100 hours

I did 100% in ~53 hours. Most time took finding env puzzles.

Took me a little over 70 hours to 100% it.

Why don't you get the game and see for yourself how long it takes? You might be surprised.

Thats the issue. Wanna get this game but am on a really tight budget. And humble monthly is also pretty cheap as compared to the steam price

Yeah if you're worried about the price to size ratio or something, you have nothing to fear. This game is big. Over 650 puzzles big.

You can reach an "ending" in maybe 15 hours but that's if you do the bare minimum. There is so much hidden stuff and optional puzzles and while I have seen some people apparently 100% it in around 30 hours, that isn't the norm.

As long as you don't know much about the puzzles going in and you don't resort to guides, you can expect between 50-80 hours if you really want to do everything.

If price is an issue, I think $12 for Humble monthly is well worth the price. At 30-40 hours minimum, you're looking at $0.40 per hour or less. That's pretty cheap entertainment and well worth the cost. I've put almost 200 hours in the game, so even at full price on launch day I got more than my money's worth.

If you're decent at puzzle games: 35-50 hours.

If you don't like exploring / are godly at puzzles: 20-30 hours.

If you love exploring and insist on 100% the game with no guides: 65+ hours.

I don't know where these times are coming from, I finished the main "story" in about 12 hours. And then spent 2 hours unsucesfully struggling with the challenge mode.
