  - Reasoning: The Japanese review states that clearing all achievements likely takes less than Steam's 2-hour refund window, which is the only quantitative completion signal and supports an approximate gameCompletion of 2 hours or less. The Chinese review adds that the game's flow is short and not suited for long play, reinforcing a short overall completion length. The English review says the player practically completed most of the game but gives no hour figure. No review provides a distinct story completion time, a measurable session length, or an endgame duration, so those metrics are null.
