Game length?

[Quilliano]

Hello, hoping the devs will see this question: approximately how should a normal playthrough last? I'm wondering because I already have quite a large backlog so I'll need something to justify a purchase before I add to that long list. Thanks in advance!

Hey Quillsaga - Contrast takes roughly between 4 and 6 hours to complete. It is like Portal or Limbo - some people adjust to the mechanic and understand our puzzles quickly, others take longer. However, the justification is up to you - I'm not going to lie to you just to sell you a copy :)

Thanks a lot for the quick response, that's enough time for me, I'll most likely get it since it's not too short (in that case I'd not get it new) and not too long (I'd put off playing it for too long).

Hope this information helps people who may be wondering as well.

Hey, just wanted to say, I finished it in 2 hours. including the majority of the collectibles.
the experience did however feel like more than two hours in a positive way and i have played a bunch of games that require you to think in a somewhat similar way before. I will also probably go back to find the last collectibles.

I am of course writing this just to inform anyone who wants to know, not to call out the developer. I found it slightly disappointing that it was so short but really enjoyed it anyway.

^^ I'll second that. Totally worth the purchase!

Apparently it took me 4 hours, though I should point-out that a fair bit of that wasn't struggling with the mechanics or concepts, and more herp-derp-itude with some parts. The puppet show got me more than a few times... >.<

Though for other reasons I've stated around here, there's a lot more to the game than just play time, and it's well worth it.

4-6 hours!? I got all achievements and did everything there was to do in under 3...and that includes a tiny bit of idling.

Darned, really? I just bought it and am really starting to like it. Too bad I'm ALREADY nearly done. It's too short! I was looking forward to at least 10 hours of play time. More content please! :D
