What are your thoughts on this? Please answer the poll and tell us what you think (here or in blog).

Please also state how long you estimate that you played the game. And if you did not like the length, tell us what would have been optimal.

I really hope that you guys are not taking that criticism too seriously. It's easy to make a game longer by forcing the player to backtrack, revisit old areas etc. but that's bad for the overall quality of the game.
I think the quality of those hours > the amount of playtime. 6-10 hours is a bit short but still around 2-3x longer than full budget games like Call of Duty: Black Ops and Medal of Honor (MoH took me 3 hours Tongue

Tongue

). Plus, it took me around 15-20 hours to finish Amnesia. But I looked around a lot and had to replay certain parts when the game crashed Dodgy

Dodgy

but that didn't really annoy me because this is such a fantastic game! Big Grin

Big Grin

Anyway, for a 'low budget' game ~10 hours is perfect. If you make it any longer the storyline might suffer a bit.
