Thinking of having a couple of friends over for an all-nighter (this seems like the kind of game that must be shared :P Also I'd probably be frightened if I played it by myself lol). Just wondering how long a first playthrough would take approximately? do you think it can be done in one night?
Also if you know how long the first one takes as well that'd be great! Is a playthrough of the first required to enjoy the second?

I bet you can beat it in one night if you're working together.

Yeah, it's a pretty short game. You can definitely finish it in one sitting, even without using the in-game hint system.

edit: After re-reading your post, I think you were referring to the second game instead of the first. That one's a bit trickier, especially because some of the puzzles don't make any sense.

I recommend playing it with the help of Universal Hint System which can be found here:

Unlike an ordinary walkthrough, UHS will only give you the hints you need. Making sure playing the game is less frustrating and not giving away too much.

Thanks guys! Yeah I was referring to the second one, just because judging by the screenshots it looks like the second game looks more 'cinematic' and I thought would be more enjoyable for a group play through. Correct me if I'm wrong though!

And yes I know about UHS and love it :)
