Official anchor

What the developer says

Weird Beluga's Steam announcement gives roughly 16 hours for full completion. It is the best sourced number we found because it defines the scope: all collectibles and achievements.

Scope, not false precision

Story vs. 100%

There is no separate official story-only estimate in our verified sources. A direct story run should be shorter than the completion estimate, but publishing a single exact figure would imply certainty the source does not provide.

Your route

What changes playtime

  • Difficulty choice and the number of boss retries.
  • How often you stop to inspect side routes on the first visit.
  • Whether you follow a guide or search independently for 203 collectibles.
  • Post-story NPC turn-ins, upgrades and achievement cleanup.

Efficient schedule

Plan one story pass and one cleanup pass

Follow the story order without forcing unreachable items, then use the collectible and trophy pages once later movement tools are available. This prevents repeated detours and keeps the final sweep readable.
