This format allows us to present narratives in novel and engaging ways.
Editor: Can you discuss the replayability and duration of your games?
Guest: Sure. According to feedback from the Steam community, finishing one of our games is roughly a 2-3 hour experience, but achieving 100% completion can take up to 4-5 hours. Players often find themselves replaying the game multiple times, totaling up to 12 hours or more over several months. this extended engagement comes from the game’s excellent aesthetic and puzzling nature but can raise concerns about value for money for some[[3](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1624540/discussions/0/3874841497817261400/)]
