Playtime?
Title. For those who have completed, or have gotten close to completing this game, how long did it take you? I completely love puzzles, so how long does this one last?

As far as I can tell, nobody on Steam has completed the game yet (as in 100%ing it or coming anywhere close) apart from our beta testers who got the game months or years ago. So I am not sure people will have a good answer for you.

Got "finished" but I got at least 4 places I haven't completed yet.
20 hours.

Sweet, this kinda game is my jam :D I'll pick it up when my wallet is more fat.

Exactly. I know almost the biggest part of the game is yet to come.

Let's just say it lasts a lot longer than most other puzzle games (actually all I know of) so you don't need to worry about lack of content, if that's the reason for your question.

I am starting to go down the mountain now and my save say 397 + 67 solved for around 17 hours. I am trying to find as many hidden puzzles before going down.

Yup, that's pretty much what I was wondering. It seems like it's a very complex game, and it will probably last me a long time.

Why 397 plus 67 and not just 464?

That would be a spoiler. Let's just say there are different kinds of puzzles in the game (and this is the way the game counts them). :)

As River would say : Spoilers.

Ahh, ok. are the "+ 67" puzzels counted in the "over 400" puzzles advertised in the game?

It seems like you can "beat" the game in 15-ish hours if you do the absolute minimum, but it seems like there's a ton of extra stuff and secrets. I did all the main puzzles and there's still like 200 unaccounted for, no idea where they are.

There's one person that's at 517+70.

I'm at 19 hours, and have solved a total of 437, +69. I've adventured down the mountain, i've gotten four of the theater codes, and I think I've gotten all the major area lasers firing. I need to go back and explore a lot, though...

Are you the developer of the witness? Jonathan Blow?
