Updated September 3, 2026
Known Player Milestones
These are three individual player reports, not an official average: one review records the first run's end boss at about four hours, another reaches the third district at about nine hours, and a third reports the final boss on the highest difficulty at roughly nine hours. Build choices, failed runs, co-op, exploration and difficulty can change the result substantially.123
| Reported playtime | Milestone | Evidence level |
|---|---|---|
| About 4 hours | First run's end boss / tree boss | Steam review |
| About 9 hours | Reached the third area | Steam review |
| About 9 hours | Final boss on a high difficulty | Steam review |
Run Length
The game is organized into missions and runs, but no official source verifies the often-repeated 10-to-30-minute run claim. This guide intentionally does not use it.4
How to Read the Current Evidence
The available reports measure different milestones, routes and difficulties, so they cannot be averaged into a trustworthy campaign length. The defensible answer is that an early clear can take several hours, while later-area or final-boss milestones have appeared around nine hours for some players; completionist time remains unknown.123
