I believe I beat the game in about 5-6.

I don't think a games length should be a standalone factor. Whether or not it was TOO LONG or TOO SHORT depends on several other pieces of the game.

For example, was it TOO SHORT to fully explore the story? Was it TOO LONG, creating boring, needless, cheap-feeling gameplay?

In my opinion, the story/length/gameplay combo was pretty spot on. I mean, there's only three enemies, three characters, and one setting. I can't see it being longer than it is without being drawn out, too complicated, or needlessly repetitive.

One thing I loved most about Amnesia was I never got BORED. The environment and atmosphere was constantly changing, and keeping me involved.

I think the only reason to criticize the length would be if you wanted more - which is a good thing. Any great game will leave you wanting more - right at the peak of enjoyment. Quitting while it's ahead, so to speak.

So yes... the length was good.

Indeed. I mean many of the games have supposedly more gamelength but the gamelength is more like cinematics and things like that...in your game guys we could even participate in the flashback Big Grin I like that a lot Smile
