Publisher Secret Mode says it should take around six hours to finish Still Wakes the Deep. I can confirm this, as I finished the narrative horror in six hours on Standard difficulty.

I died a few times during my playthrough and didn’t get all the achievements. So, if you decide to play on Story mode difficulty, which makes the stealth sections easier, you may be able to complete the game in slightly less time. If you decide to go for all the achievements, however, you’ll add extra time to your playthrough.

This means Still Wakes the Deep is a bit longer than some of developer The Chinese Room’s previous titles, with Dear Esther being 1.5 to 2.5 hours long, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture being 4.5 to 9.5 hours long, and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs clocking in at four to six hours. The longer times here are for players to 100 percent complete the game.
