Updated 2026-10-29

There is no single runtime. HowLongToBeat shows 3½ hours under Main + Sides, based on one submission of 3 hours 20 minutes, with two people marked finished. Main Story and Completionist are both dashes: no data. An earlier research note mislabelled this as main-story time; the rendered category was rechecked on 2026-10-29.

Figures that disagree, left as they are

Source	Length	What it actually is
HowLongToBeat	3½ hours Main + Sides	1 polled time (3h20m). Main Story and Completionist empty.
SteamDeckHQ	About 3 hours	One reviewer’s play.
SmashPad	Inside a short evening	Review impression, not a timer.
Screen Rant / Retcon / Phrasemaker	About 3–5 hours, or 5 or less	Separate reviews. Not one blended number.
fgw video	2:50:01	Full game with chapter markers, 2026-10-27.
Ruba video	3:40:57	Full game, no commentary, longer recording; not a completionist benchmark.

The two videos are not a speedrun and a 100% route. Their durations differ, but that alone does not establish why; editing, route and reading pace may differ. The sources checked for this page do not establish an all-collectibles time. SmashPad says you can finish without watching every memory.

There is no sprint and no dodge, which SmashPad and Screen Rant both mention, so backtracking is slow even when the critical path is short. Chapter markers for the 2:50 video are on the walkthrough.
