The main story is short and relaxed, most players finish in about 6-8 hours (early estimates span roughly 5-10). Clearing all 12 chapters including post-game content runs about 15-20 hours, and chasing full 100% completion, every Discovery and Smiley Flower, can stretch to roughly 30-50 hours. These are early community and aggregator estimates gathered soon after the May 2026 launch, so HowLongToBeat data is still filling in and the completionist figure in particular varies widely between sources.
