Multiple reviews indicate that the game is worth purchasing only when discounted, with specific mentions of prices around $10 and $14.99 being more appropriate. The sentiment is that the game does not offer enough content or value to justify the full price. - Playtime Metrics: - Game completion: 26.0h - Story completion: 5.0h - Session length: N/A - Endgame: N/A - Reasoning: The evidence provides a range of playtime metrics. The mention of taking almost two years to finish the game suggests a very long total playtime, but this seems to be an outlier. More typical estimates are provided by other reviews, such as taking 12 hours to complete all routes and 26 hours to thoroughly read every dialogue. The review mentioning 5 hours of playtime to completion provides a lower bound for the game completion time. The session length and endgame metrics are not explicitly mentioned in the evidence, so they are set to null. - Time-to-fun: - Summary: The game is initially boring and tedious with inconsistent pacing and repetitive story elements, leading to a lack of immediate fun.
