How long did it take for you to beat the game?

[Mållgan]

5 hours?

Define "beat", because there's a lot of different content.

Can't tell whether this thread is a troll or legitimate idiocy. Leaning towards the former.

(Actually, I guess it's not so much "one or the other" as it is "Both of them, or only the second one." So I'm leaning towards "Both of them.")

The moment credits begins rolling.

No trolling here sire. I am "legitimately" intrigued by this game and I am quite the fan of management games. What I am curious over is whether there is an endgame and how long it takes for the average player to reach it.

61 hours in game, still haven't reached the end-game.

This is an endless game, there is no credits rolling, I have almost 70 hours already and I still want to play more, way better than those games with "credits rolling" that I finish in 15 hours and never play again. If you consider the community center repair as finishing the game it usually takes around 60 hours or more to complete.

Currently at 30 hours on my main steam save and it's in mid fall of the first year so I suppose you can say when your grandpa visits at the start of your 3rd year could be considered beating it although you can still do a lot after.

They don't. Also the credits would be really short.

In reality the main story of the game with the community center takes around 2 in-game years minimum to complete which is around 50-60 hours.

Are there story events that occurs during the game or are you left to your own vices?

The game never ends but there's a sort of a review of how well your doing a couple years in that I think most of us consider the "end"

Well, I mostly only play in the morning before lectures, but im about to end year 2 and get my score before endless play keeps going. ive had it since launch day. So, about 1-2 hours per day, plus most of the day on weekends. I dont feel like doing the math, but decent length of time. Course it takes far less if you just finish work and go to sleep immediately probably. At that rate probably a day. Anyways, roughly 50 or so hours has been the standard number thrown around, and that sounds about right.

Various relationship events / calendar events / things like the earthquake that opens up more areas of the map.

You can look at the wiki here for a lot of the info:

If you're being sincere, then I apologize for the snark and will reciprocate:

There is no "Beat the game" point. It's open-ended, with no "finish." There is an "evaluation point" after two years of in-game time, but that doesn't end the game. For reference, I just finished my first full year this morning, and I have 50+ hours in the game (not all of that was spent on the current playthrough, but I think my current playthrough is in the mid-to-upper-30-somethings so far).

[Hurodrik]

There is no endgame. But from my playtime (I restarted once) I'd assume one would get to the beggining of year 3 (when a certain event that some people might consider "endgame" happens) in something like 70, 80 hours, depending on how they play.

there are story events. Some always happen (the community center plot) and others are related to villagers and how much they like you.
