Game length question

[MrCapone O Mineiro]

How long to beat this game ? I wouldn´t want to spend my hard earned money in a game that can be finished in less than 5 hours.

You definitely won't complete the game in less than 5 hours!
We expect players to make it to the end in 10 to 12 hours depending on how fast you can solve puzzles.
If you buy the game, feel free to come back here and share your completion time ;)

Thanks for updating me, I already bought the game now.

Actually I'm 48% through, and it took me exactly 3 hours; so I guess it'll be around 6 hours. The game has been extremely easy so far.

[LastNonak]

i needed 2 hours to complete 25%. Wow, you`re fast

[AceMatt]

Yeah, it took me around 7 hours to finish without using any hints, so 10 to 12 seems like a high average. Though I only earned around 480 of the 600 ego points, and there are still achievements that I missed. It's an enjoyable game, but as an experienced adventure game player it was rather simple for me outside of a few tricky riddles.

[PossiblePsycho]

So I've just finished the game, 6.1 hours, 2 hints used. It's a nice game overall, also it's the first decent adventure game about Poirot, but it's really short.

Just above 6h. No hints, gone to wash dishes at some point, but also somewhat stuck on two puzzles.

i've been playing it on my Vita (remote play from PS4) took me about 10 hours. I was interacting with everyone and everythgin and doing all the conversations :) Had to use 1 hint when I dind't see a part I had to inspect in ABC's room. My Ego was 560 at the end as well, so I need to go back and get 600 next :)

I guess all of as here were interacting with everything, making observations and so on.

Ive been play Ing now for about 5 1/2 Hours and are at 81%. The riddles are easy if you just take a look at it. If the game would be a Bit more open like that you could decide wich place you want to visit and Stufe like that it would be way longer. The linear play style stomps you right to the Stufe that you dont have to search to long for progress. The story is Kind of nice but it is like an easy Version of sherlock holmes crimes and punishments. I really like the combination riddles and reconstructions but i hope if there will be a sequel that it will be a bit more difficult and give me as a Player more freedom

I suppose, dunno why it took me longer then as I was just playing at a normal pace. the controls are a bit fidgity on the PS4 though as the cursor gets faster and faster as you move it around - like how the mouse does in some games, so thats annoying. but other than that I don't feel I got stuck on anythign or stopped in a place longer than I should have.


Ah well, I enjoyed it and hope they bring out more they manage to get the licence for :)

so now im finished with the game and the steam log said 5 hours. so it is a short adventure but a good story.

You can hit this game in less than 5 hours cause its a game for children, not for adventure player. you cant test or go a wrong way cause the game allways tells you what you have to do.

SPOILER!!!- I see a woman smoking in front of a shop. Next to her I can see an ashtray, cigarettes or matches, and then I conclude, she is a smoker! What a surprise! SPOILER END!!!

Thats just one of many examples about the "difficulty" of the game. who the f..... has come up with this gameplay design??? It could be a really good adventure but so its just a big dissappointment.

I´m really upset, I thoguht the game was supposed to be an actual adventure game with real challenges, but it was complete failure.

The only thing that's stopping me from purchasing the game, is that I've heard it's far too easy many times now.

The comments in this thread don't sway me otherwise.
