How Long Will it Take to Beat the Game?
« on: February 20, 2007, 09:27:47 am »
Hey guys, I just learned about Aquaria a few hours ago, and I must say that it looks like something that I really, really want to get my hands on. Since the game is being developed by such a small team, how are you planning on making the game available to the public?

*Edit* Holy crap, theres a thread with the same freaking title that asks the same FREAKING question like 6 threads down. Whoops.

// Changed the title of your thread. ;) -Derek

Um, new question then. Uh, let's see. Ok, about how long do you think it will take the average person to beat the game the first time? Also, will there be multiple endings or ways to beat it?

Since Eternal Daughter took me about six-seven hours to finish, the first time I played. Including deaths and all and this game is supposed to be much longer then I'd guess it would take at least twice as much. So about fifteen or more would be my guess.

As for multiple endings, they decide to stay quiet about it.

It's hard to say how long the game will take for people to beat!  So much depends on how the player decides to play the game.  When I play I find myself becoming wrapped into some small aspect of the game, like following a creature around or playing with the environment in some way.  This is a game that's meant for the player to explore and get lost in... but even if you're only interested in tackling the main story I think you'll find that there's enough gameplay for you... ;)

Hearing you say that makes me happy.  I like to just chill out and get lost and totally distracted by arbitrary crap.  It's nice to hear that you, who are creating the game, feel the same way.

I'd state the irony of your rebumping it for that comment, but I won't.

Aww... I guess I needed more than 6-7 hours for ED (Now Hume is quite easy, but back then? Horrible... ;)) where should I take the time for Aquaria?
