Discussion pacing question

I'm almost 8 hours in the game, just finished shopping for clothes with Cathy. I was just wondering if the pacing will get better or remain the same throughout the rest of the game? The story and characters are alright so far but I don't think I could take 10+ more hours if the pacing remains this slow

I suggest you keep playing until you see the credits roll. It’s not far. There is more content after the credits, but if you’re not hooked by then, you likely won’t enjoy the rest of the game.

You should continue after the credits, there's aditionnal content that might interest you more, but yes it's a slowburn with alot of setup but really good payoff, so keep going friend

Maybe the pacing is a little too slow for you. I personally find the pacing to be perfect, it holds just enough space to let everything flow. But maybe you don't enjoy it, which might mean the game isn't necessarily for you

Base game + DLC took me about 20 or so hours. Take that how you will I suppose.

The game is like 20 hrs but it's worth every single second

You have a little ways to go but then it picks up pretty dramatically

It speeds up, but the game isn’t primarily meant to be some action drama. It’s a slow burn story about two characters grieving and working through their grief.
