RE: What do you think of the game's length?

I voted for "Perfect!"

I have long felt that games these days are too short -- I am glad that is not the case here. Game length, I think, is dependent on the game and its intended goals/motivations, which I think Amnesia nailed.

I admit, I felt like I must have played this game for weeks ... or years, but I think I came out around 10-12 hours.

The intensity was so off the chart, I don't think I could have handled a game that was much longer. I would have burned out and risked not finishing the game. For me, each play session was a ritual just to get started.

If the game had lasted much longer, I don't think I could have suffered the very real physical and mental consequences!

Spoiler below!

I will mention that I think a bit more time could have been spent on the end. I have no problem with the "content" or "consequences" of the ending(s) -- but rather, that the ending(s) felt a bit abrupt and not enough of a "reward" (in proportion) for the horrors I had to endure to get there.

I do appreciate multiple endings, though -- and am glad more than one was included (which I wasn't expecting).

Also .. thanks so much for the SECRET RAR file -- I loved seeing the design docs. I wish more games would show that stuff, as I'd love to make games myself someday and seeing that stuff is GREAT.
