Expect About Two Hours
A straightforward run of The Event takes about two hours. Recent player reports support that estimate, including one review at 128 minutes and another at 143 minutes of playtime.
What Can Extend a Run?
- How much time should I allow for both endings?
- Allow extra search time for five unmarked chess pieces in major rooms and near puzzles. All areas remain available for backtracking, and the final save lets you obtain both endings in one playthrough.
- Does earning every achievement take longer?
- Yes. Some achievements are missable and require another playthrough, even though both endings can be collected from the final save during a single run.
