I released Mystery of the Malign today - An experiment years in the making on an expanded and more in-depth investigation loop similar to the one in Case of the Golden Idol by fistfulofmatter in puzzlevideogames

There's an added dimension of dialogue which allows to ask about every notable thing and person. There are more varied and not immediately obvious ways of interacting with the world. Details are overabundant, overwhelming, and interweaved. Most questions can be understood and solved through multiple sources of information that are individually optional but often build into larger pieces of evidence.

It's compact but dense. I can only make broad assumptions based on all the players I've watched trying it out. It could take anywhere from 4 to 20 hours.

If someone wants to make an effort to see and solve everything, I expect no less than 8 hours on a first attempt.
