For me it took much much longer to get through (roughly 25 hours). Probably a combination of being overly thorough, lots of gazing at the sceneries and a bit of a slow reader.

Not sure about replayability though. As far as I know, the global chain of events are always the same, so one time was enough for me. But it was an experience never to forget. And I mean that in the best possible way. What was also fun, for me at least, checking a few youtubers and see how they experienced it after finishing it myself. Can especially recommend 'Christopher Odd' and 'CjuGames' for these type of games if you want to check them out before buying.

10 hours. Some replayability, but nothing major. Worth playing again once you understand the ending, which I will not spoil.

This isn't just a game, it's a work of art.

how would you rate the ending ?

Oh it's very atmospheric allright. Noises. The really depressing visuals and story. Certain.. things wandering about.

But no spooky/paranormal stuff. Everything is reasonably believable in a pure sci-fi setting. Well, almost everyting.

It's difficult to explain without going into spoilers. You just have to see it. Most of the scenery is very technological with a lot of things lying around everywhere, including notes to read and things to throw, devices to interact with and such.

And about the ending, let's just say it left me pretty emotional.
Now, I'm a man so I won't admit I literally had to cry a little at the end. But yeah, I did :)

It's a story-driven game, so replayability is the same as rewatching a good movie or re-reading a good book.

This isn't a "new game+" kind of game.

That said, some folks play it through the first time normally for the thrill / scares, then use "wuss mode" to play through a second time to really take in the atmosphere and focus on the plot.

The game takes about 10+ hours, depending on how casual you are.

But, if you like "deep think" kind of games, then this game will have you critically thinking some complex life issues for quite a while... during play... after play... after subsequent plays as you view things differently once you replay knowing the story.
