Length of this game?

[Super_]

Hello! This game looks super fun but the first game was so short I've watched it all in under 3 hours. Unless this provides at least 20 hours of content, there's no reason to just watch someone else play it, right?

dunno what you're tripping on but orwell 1 took me about 6-7 hours to complete one playthrough

depends on how much you want to investigate

It’s your own call if it’s worth it or not. We can’t decide it for you. If you’re only looking for quantity of gameplay hours, obviously you won’t get 50 hours of gameplay from this game. If watching someone on YouTube playing the game is for you the same as playing it yourself, by all means just watch the YouTube videos. But this game is about investigating and making choices, that’s the whole fun. So not sure why watching it played by someone else gives the same experience though?

Well, I've spent 3 hours on the first episode, getting all achievements, finishing the episode 3 times in the process. So considering there's likely to be only 2-3 more episodes in this season...you can make the math. Either way, there's nothing wrong with it being short.

Keeping you occupied for a 100 hours is not the point of this game. It's to make you think, really think about things that stretch even outside of world of this game. Within the first few minutes of the of this episode (the aptitude test) it already made me debate myself on a few topic. And this is the appeal of Orwell, I think. If game time is all you're after, it's not for you. Go watch it on youtube, for whatever that's worh to you.
