Feature scans:
- Wiki: score 50; verdict: Tier 3: The Student; summary: The primary external-data dependency is instructional: users consult guides, wikis, and walkthroughs for puzzle solutions, dialogue puzzles, save timing, and branching outcomes. There is no explicit evidence of farming or drop-rate dependency, inventory or crafting valuation, or navigation and bug issues. Under strict priority, the relevant category is Tier 3: The Student.

- Hardware Profile: No data
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $6.50 - $9.99
  - Reasoning: Reviews are strongly positive about the game's content, but price-related comments repeatedly frame a purchase around discounts. One reviewer explicitly says $13 is not a great deal, another warns against buying at full price while the ending is unfinished, and another recommends buying at 50% off. A few fans say it is worth the price if affordable, which suggests some tolerance above the discounted level, but the overall sale-focused sentiment and full-price hesitation put the community's fair base-game range below the $13+ full price, roughly in the $6.50-$10 range.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: N/A
  - Story completion: 19.0h
  - Session length: 7.0h
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: The completion reports place the currently available main story around 19 hours: one reviewer finished it in 19 hours over three days and still had extra stories unseen, while another needed over 30 hours to complete chapters 1, 2, and final chapter part 1, and a cited average is 16 hours. I use 19 as the representative storyCompletion estimate because it is an explicit finish-time report for the target game. The 7-hour first-day report supports a sessionLength of about 7 hours. gameCompletion is null because no review reports full 100% completion including all extra content, and the game is still unfinished. endgame is null because no quote provides post-story or endgame hours.
