how long is the game?

this game looks amazing rps review gave me the earthbound feels, but I have to know isit a 3 hour game, 8 hours, 12 hours or 30 minutes?

My first playthrough (Full pacifist) was around 5-7 hours. Taking my time reading every dialog, looking and messing around.

5-6 hours for most people. It can easily stretch to 8 or more depending on which route you take, your own skill level, how much exploring you want to, etc., and it's definitely worth playing at least twice to try out a couple different routes.

[DiscoNemesis]

about 4 to 6 hours.

[GhostyGG]

Six hour game, and that's with constant deaths, and retries. But there are multiple routes in the storyline you could take, so I guess you can replay the game again and again.

Depends a lot on how thorough you are and how quickly you go through things. 5-8 definitely seems around the average for a single runthrough, though my first playthrough (true pacifist run) took more like 12 hours, since I took my time and hunted for every secret and dialogue string I could find.

Doing playthroughs with alternate choices and outcomes can add some decent length as well; the difference between a runthrough where you spare everyone and one you kill everyone is pretty big too; changes the atmosphere of the entire game pretty drastically. Even aside from those two extremes though, there are a lot of ways things can change by doing something in between (along with a lot of little secrets and easter eggs) I have around 30 hours spent on the game at this point myself.

I'd say about 8-10 hours to get the True Pacifist ending, taking your time and getting to know the world around you, and the inevitable reloads and game overs that come with pacifism.
If you blitz through the world, killing everything then you can be done in as quick as 5-6 hours. Don't ask me about Genocide runs though.

It took me about 10-12ish hours to get the True ending, but it's hard for me to say exactly because I left the game running a couple times. It really depends on your playstyle, I think. You might demolish the game in a few hours, and be like "that's it?" Or you might take your time and soak it in and find 10 hours slipped away.

[DohItAgain]

It took me 10 hours my first run to the true ending, then another 4-5ish hours to get other endings. I probably threw another 5 hours just playing around with saves, choices, and certain quantum type deals.

[JayRoo]

Does this estimate include if it deletes your save?

[Uroboros]

Took me 12 hours to complete the game and then the follow-up ending that requires you to reload your save from before the final fight, while on a no-kill run.. That's includes a bit of backtracking and zenning out to the soundtrack, refusing to proceed because I was playing on a work night, damnit. Haha~

[LucasNautilus]

Took me 12 hours with being pacifist.

[!?!]

It's kinda like dark souls.
You can run through that in like 1 hour since the playtime isn't artificially stretched with grinding or sidequests but it's so full of secret things to do, you can also end up playing for 20+ hours and still find things you had no idea where there.

[gsilver]

It took me just under 10 hours, but that includes a little bit of AFK time (not much, though) and I revisited the NPCs a few times.

[Ben]

I've played this game for 45 hours and i'm ashamed.
