The gameplay is relatively short, averaging around 3 to 4 hours, and is considered easy, with players often relying on hints. While it features classic adventure elements, there is potential for a more substantial experience as the saga progresses.
“It's a little on the short side and quite easy (only 3-3.5 hours of gameplay), but I imagine once the whole saga is complete, it will be sizeable.”
