How many hours to play the stories?

[madmatg]

I played this months ago and can't remember around how many hours for each story

Can anyone help?

I saw a few answers that said 8 hours but I'm assuming that's the main game.

Also it's been so long since I was a beginner does anyone happen to remember around how long it would take for a beginner to get up to speed that would likely need to be added on to a first run-through?

Which story you meant ? Standard one or war stories ?
If war stories :


War story 1 is the shortest roughly 10-15 minutes if you read and feel the story :(

War Story 2 is the longest depend how you play. As long as you not trigger the event you can play as long as you want. The downside was Malik will feel sad / depressed since no new news to broadcast.

War Story 3 depend on how long you spend each day but from my play through twice (to get all ending achievement), both of them end up at the 28th day regardless you finished your arrangement or not.

Yes the war stories "Father's Promise" and the like.



Only 15 minutes for Father's promise? I thought I remembered a couple hours of exploring and meeting the priest and stuff? Maybe I'm misremembering, just want to confirm we are talking about the same thing :)

Yes, only that long for me because

On 3rd (or 4th day?) When the father collaps i notice that its useless to build anything. Only need and focus on food and heater since he too depressed and tired to do anything.
The only time consuming was when tried to save the doctor and got wounded, need to stay and heal for 3 days.
The other day only search for clue, food and fuel since mostly basic need already build on the first 3 day which only heater, cooker and metal workshop.
