Duration Amnesia A Machine For Pigs!

Game length should not be equated to quality. People shouldn't be asking "how long is this game?", they should be asking "how high is the quality of this game?". This applies to all games of course.

YMMV.

That is all.

A good horror game can't be very long.

There is a line, which you should not cross, or else, you get "used" to the horror and it looses its effect.

I prefer 5 hours of pure terror more, than 10 hours of bored walking around.

Depends. It all really comes down to opinions in the end. Something can be the highest quality and you still might not like it.

What Damien said really. 5-6 hours feels like the extreme low estimate to me. I mean the first Amnesia was meant to be, what, 8-10 hours? I doubt very many people finished it in that time.

You can actually complete ATDD under 3 hours without speedruning it .

Sounds speed running to me Jens just said it will be a bit shorter than TDD, 5-6 hours he said.
Plenty of gameplay I think.

It all depends how you play the game.I will try my best to play the game as slowly as I can

5-6 Hours is definitely not a short time for a 20$ game. There are 60$ games nowadays that are that length.

Really? Name one. I've never heard of a $60 game that only has 5-6 hours, except for some extremely obvious cash grabs like damn movie-game adaptions.

How wrong it is. The Penumbra collection (yes, I see Penumbra as one game) is about 13 hours long. Silent Hill is 11 hours long for each game. Amnesia is 10 hours long. I think 5-6 hours are really too short. You can copmplete it in one single day, and you waited 2 years long!

A good horror game should be longer than 10 hours to get a long experience as possible. They could add more/trickier puzzles to let you take more time. Without enhancing the story or environments!

That's really disappointing to hear.

"Man, how logic it is!"

Why don't you see Amnesia TDD + AMFP now as one game? Now it's about 15 hours long !
