good question… I have 17.3 hours logged, but I definitely left the game open in the background. Offhand, I’d say 10-15 hours. I never used a walkthrough and I disabled the subtitles. P.S. You won’t get stuck for more than 20 minutes (I would have preferred it to be slightly more challenging). ---

I have similar hours logged, also left game open for a long time, also offhand say 10-15 (maybe closer to 10), no walkthrough etc. I think it’s pretty clear considering the main unique mechanic of the game (which I won’t spoil I guess) that it was designed to be fast paced. I’m with seguso, I’d prefer more of a challenge but know that it would detract from the snappiness of the game overall. I hope this game gets widespread attention because it really shows that point and click adventures have a lot of life left in them. ---

I finished the game in 6.5 hours, without every being stuck for more than a few minutes (and I never leave the game on when I’m not playing). So that’s perhaps on the lower end of a possible play lengths. [Howlongtobeat.com](http://Howlongtobeat.com) lists 8 1/2 hours. In any case, it’s a truly great game in every way! ---

“Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken” is out. Based on the trailer, it looks like a well-made, and pretty ambitious, pixel-art adventure game. But it’s also got a combat part, so I’m a bit reluctant to try it.

Hey guys, we have a new masterpiece on our hands:[Escape from 8-bit High](https://dionous.itch.io/escape-from-8-bit-high). It’s basically a new Maniac Mansion. It was made by the developers of **R3d Star** , another great game with fantastic puzzles and gameplay, so I already knew the quality would be there. I’ve only played for about an hour, but the school is under attack by both zombies and aliens at the same time, and you control three characters at once just like in Day of the Tentacle. I can already tell where this is going: this game is an absolute gem! ---
