Info about Farm & Feast:

Official game description:
**Welcome to Farm & Feast! 🌿**
-------------------------------
Farm & Feast is a relaxing simulation game where a warm little farm meets an adorable cozy restaurant. Everything moves at your own pace. Your fields are waiting, your restaurant is open, and so are your customers. Every day something new grows, and every service turns into a little moment of happiness.  
The more care you show your customers, the warmer your restaurant becomes. Every smile, every order made with love, builds a bond that reaches far beyond the tables.  
Take a little break by the shore and cast your line into the gentle waves. Wait for that tiny tug, reel in your catch, and bring it fresh to your kitchen.  
Harvest your golden wheat row by row and watch your little machines turn every grain into warm loaves of bread. From a single seed to your customers' tables, every step carries a little piece of your love.  
Sometimes the loveliest moments are the quietest ones. A gentle breeze, a path winding between the fields, and a world that feels made just for you. As you gently tend the soil, time slows down; only you and the greenery growing day by day remain. Caring for your field isn't a chore, it's a quiet peace where you get to be alone with yourself.  
Greet every guest with a warm smile and welcome them to a comfortable table. Even a small "Welcome" can set the tone for an entire day.  
Every service has a rhythm of its own. Fill your tray with drinks, move from table to table, and leave each glass with just the right owner. As you carry the drinks, gather up the smiles along the way and savor that delightful flow that keeps your restaurant cozy and warm.  
Bring the orders to your chefs, and they'll handle the rest. While the pans sizzle, sweep the floors and clear the tables at your own rhythm. A cozy restaurant is built with patience and care for the little details.  
Taking the bill is the finale of every lovely moment you share with a customer. The warm bond you've built throughout the day, the care you've shown, and every little smile all pay off in this final moment. When your guests leave the table happy, those little tips they leave alongside the bill become the sweetest thank-you for your hard work.  
Take every order with care and listen closely to your customers. A wrong dish or a forgotten request upsets your guest and casts a shadow over your restaurant's warm reputation.  
Your day begins in the morning on your farm and ends in the evening with happy customers at your restaurant. No rush, no pressure, just your day.

  - Session length: 5.0h

  - Reasoning: The clearest playtime evidence is a Spanish review reporting a 5-hour continuous session, supported by a French review reporting a 2-hour session after an intended 15-minute try. A Chinese review also reports nearly 5 hours by in-game day 15, which confirms multi-hour play but does not show full completion. No review provides a full-game completion time, story completion time, or endgame duration, so those metrics are null. I use 5 hours for sessionLength because it is the longest explicitly stated uninterrupted session.
