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 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. I’m just coming out of playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and I’m burned out mentally. 
This game came out today. Anybody here playing it?
There is a new game release from @Guga :
I did not have time to play it yet.
I find it amazing that after releasing a long game (TWoAF), Guga still participates in game jams and develops these shorter masterpieces.
“Simon the Sorcerer Origins” was just released –
Foolish Mortals is out on Steam and GOG
One of the few games I backed on Kickstarter lately, but given my current track record of picking interesting looking titles that did not quite live up to my expectation, don’t be foolish and assume it’s any good. But I guess the topic is released adventure games, and not notable adventure games 
.
Randal’s Tuesday is out on Steam (or will be tomorrow)
I did like Randal’s Monday, and hope the prequel has similar qualities. For now it goes onto the backlog, though.
Shadows of the Afterland -
Another one by Amanita Design. Not really my cup of tea, and this one doesn’t even look appealing from a purely artistic point of view, with its dreary look.
Much less of an adventure game (but not your typical RPG either), and much more my thing: the spiritual successor to Disco Elysium. Guess I’ll be playing that next, while waiting for Esoteric Ebb to materialize on GOG.
The follow-up to Shinrai just came out. @kaiman This is also in the somewhat Ace Attorney adjacent genre.

At first look it reminded me of Ace Attorney.
Hey guys, we have a new masterpiece on our hands: 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!
I still have to play it. I voice a character in the game 
I’m sure you’ll understand which one once you get there.
