- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 8.0h
  - Story completion: N/A
  - Session length: 3.0h
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: Completion evidence clusters around 7-8 hours: one player had about a quarter left at 7 hours, another reports a complete run just over 7 hours, and another finished at about 8 hours. I use 8 hours as the practical game-completion estimate. The audiobook comment supports a multi-hour play session, so I set sessionLength to about 3 hours. No review provides a story-only completion time or a post-completion/endgame duration, so those metrics are null.
