Let's say I am very skeptical about most titles there, especially point and click adventures. A walkthrough makes them quickly finished, but most of them take days of headscratching. Especially as the best method for solving their puzzles is to shut the computer and come back later with a fresh eye.

I had a fun evening playing though the entirety of:
"CALL OF CTHULHU: PRISONER OF ICE"

I wouldn't say I'm great at point and click adventures either.

(echoing Primordia can be clocked in a day too.)

Technically, can finish the story missions in Particle Fleet in a couple of hours, but as others say, the story missions is basically training for the other stuff.

You can also, by the same token, put Creeper World 1,2 and 3 on thee list.

Also Delver, being a rogue like thingy.

Oxenfree (GOG & Steam) about 5 hours but it's also have alternate ending and some hidden objects (for achievement) so maybe add another 3 to 4 hours.

Yeah, me neither. I don't consider myself particularly dumb for puzzle games (or, for that matter, at all :P), and I spent way more than 5 hours on it, only to get about halfway. :\


Anyway, here are some of the games I've beaten this year in 5h or less:

· Californium (on GOG)
· Dark Echo
· Dawning (probably unavailable nowadays, as it was only sold on Indievania and Desura)
· Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet (though I had played it before and that might have speeded up my playthrough)
· Moirai (extra-short, experimental-ish game)
· Oscura: Lost Light
· Pony Island (on GOG)
· Reveal the Deep
· Spectraball: Extended Edition
· Sunset
· The Beginner's Guide
· Toby: The Secret Mine
· Tulpa
· Unhack
· Wooden Sen'SeY
· You Still Won't Make It (although it's incomplete)

Yeah, come on little kitty, don't abandon this post please! :\

Oy, dark cat! Here's another short game I can vouch for:
Gathering Sky

I've just beaten <span class="bold">Epistory - Typing Chronicles</span>. I took my sweet ass time to 100% it, but if you go straight for it (and have a minimum typing skills) it's perfectly doable in less than 5 hours.


PS: Is Grargar willing to keep this post updated? I think I'm gonna poke him... hope he doesn't claw me. :P

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

I don't care if Grargar has abandoned this thread, I'll keep reporting any game I finish in less than 5 hours!

The other day I played through Lumini in a single afternoon.

Never mind...

Phantasy Star 3, the game I am playing now, has one route that is rather short by RPG standards, yet doesn't seem to be especially difficult (though I might not recommend this route on a first playthrough):

1. Play through normally until you reach Cille.
2. Buy an Escapipe (if you don't already have one), and give it to Mieu or Wren.
3. Go through Cille and defeat the king. You will be asked who you want to marry. Choose Lena.
4. As soon as you gain control of Nial, use the Escapipe. You will end up back in the Cille dungeon (which is not intended to be reachable at this point).
5. Go through Cille again (the only enemies you encounter will be Chirpers, who are really easy), and kill the boss again. This time, choose to marry Alair. (Choosing Laya will put the game into an unwinnable state.)
6. The third generation starts. You will need to get certain plot critical items that you didn't get as Nial, but otherwise you can proceed as normal.

This game, which was originally for the Sega Genesis, can be found in various collections.

Yesterday I started playing The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendon&ccedil;a and Pizza Boy&reg; and I happened to complete it (without rushing it) in about 5 hours.

Dracula 5: The Blood Legacy is only a bit longer than Dracula 4 so it should be here as well. I've finished them both in one session, 2.5h long

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs

Among the Sleep

Kraven Manor
