  - Reasoning: The evidence provides multiple data points for game completion time, ranging from 2 minutes to 2.6 hours. The shortest times are achieved with autoclickers, while manual play takes longer. The most consistent manual playtime reported is around 2.6 hours, which we will use for game completion. There is no evidence provided for story completion or session length, as the game is primarily focused on achieving all achievements rather than following a story. The endgame is also not applicable in this context as the game is designed to be completed by achieving all achievements.
