25 to 30 hours
Director Soulframe Liang gave his own figure for a full playthrough on October 8: 25 to 30 hours, for an experienced player who does not get stuck on bosses. Side quests, collectibles and optional fights come on top.
Platinum in one run
Liang repeated that every trophy can be earned in a single playthrough on any of the first three difficulties, Wayfarer included. 66 Days, the 66-life mode unlocked after a first completion, is not needed for the Platinum.
