Info about An Eggstremely Hard Game:

Official game description:
**Two geese. One fragile egg. Infinite chaos.**
-----------------------------------------------
Work together to carry it through unpredictable challenges without breaking it, every crack makes it harder, every mistake more hilarious. A co-op physics game about teamwork, clumsiness, and the unstoppable power of honking.
**Cracks = Chaos**
------------------
With every **crack**, the egg becomes **harder** to control and easier to lose. Each impact makes it wobblier, bouncier, and far more unpredictable. Handle it carefully, or watch it explode **in a glorious mess**.
**Not all is lost**
-------------------
When the egg **slips away**, you can still **recover** it. Every fall is a chance to try again. Fragile, cracked, but never truly broken.
**Teamwork at its finest**
--------------------------
Pick up your useless partner, throw them back on track, and pretend you didn’t almost drop them on purpose.
**FEATURES**
------------
*   **One egg, endless chaos** – Keep it safe (or try) through unpredictable physics and tricky obstacles.
*   **Cracks that change everything** – Each hit makes the egg weaker and the game harder.
*   **Teamwork and betrayal** – Lift, toss, honk, and sometimes sabotage your partner.
*   **Physics-fueled fun** – Clumsy controls and goose energy combine for hilarious moments.
*   **A true test of patience** – Rage, laugh, and celebrate every inch of progress.

  - Reasoning: The first evidence explicitly states a playtime of about 2.5 hours worth of gameplay, suggesting the time needed to complete the game's content. The second and third evidence provide speedrun times (14-minute world record and 12-minute estimate), which indicate a much shorter optimized completion but still support that the game can be finished relatively quickly. Since the direct report of 2.5 hours is the clearest normal playtime claim, gameCompletion is set to 2.5 hours. No reliable data is available for story completion (no clear story mentioned), session length (no typical session duration reported), or endgame content, so those metrics are set to null.
