Nonetheless, VNs aren't usually a genre PC Gamer concerns themselves with.
Which is a shame, because some of the best visual novels are still PC-exclusive.
10 to 12 hours for the main story.
15-25hours.
Uh what
No.
Edit: hm, you edited your post. Even so, you're still way out. My first playthrough was 11 hours.

Somewhere around 20 hours is the sweet spot for most people.
How Long to Beat is around 24 hours.

What!
How?! really, I'm confused. Is this going for 100% trophies or what? Because even DR2 only took me 12 hours on the first playthrough!
That's what it took me, because I wanted to investigate every single object.
I tend to play games really slowly to take in as much as I can. My first play through was about 30 hours. Hell in DR2 I put about 50 hours in that my first time.

It seems the game data is contained into a .wad file. Anyway to open it ?
yea, i also don't skip the VO which is great. maybe some guys finish it fast cuz they just read everything.

I just did my first playthrough last week, exploring and spending time with specific characters when I could, hunting them down took a bit. But to counteract that, I am a fast reader, but I still made sure to read everything. Played through on Mean as well, which changes things a bit especially without a walkthrough.
Little replayability, it's mostly linear other than an option near the end of the game.

Completely linear story, though replaying with later story developments in mind is pretty fun.
It's linear but I've played through both three times each. So many things to miss etc. Lots of hidden content too.
You can't do everything on the first playthrough (ie. Interact with each character).

Got it. Probably I'll replay it on the weekend, as I'm busy today and tomorrow.
I'm waiting for the reactions of all new players.

Were you just skipping through text? 12 hours for DR2 is incredibly fast.
PC is by far the platform with the highest number of visual novels available

Don't be. This is a really thrilling, tightly written story. Great mysteries and fantastic characters and hngghfhhh that soundtrack.

It may also depend on difficulty. I played on Mean, as it was recommended to me, but that gave me a lot more incorrect answers to choose from especially later on, so more and more time was spent parsing out the answers. I don't know if Rich's first playthrough was Gentle, Kind, or Mean.
By the way, for anyone just starting, play on Mean. It's not too bad, but it makes you think a lot more.

I perrrssonally played on Mean/Mean and my final time was hovering somewhere around 15 hours.
Not at all. I'm a fast reader though. I didn't do many free time interactions though...I left that for my next playthrough.
it'll grow on you. no worries. linearity doesn't ruin it.
Do you skip text, as in read it yourself? Because I wait for the Voice Actors to finish their job. This alone in a text heavy game can make a difference of several hours. I am not sure how long it took me, but I think somewhere between 20-30 hours for the first, an 25-35 for the second. I remember that the second was a bit longer than the first, but I am not exactly sure how much of this time I spent in School Mode.

Platinum trophy took me about 40 hours on Vita.

That would do a lot of it, then. I spent time working on one character, so I had to hunt them down most of the time.
I remember when one character actually hid on me.
I am surprised at those of you who blasted through the game like this. HLTB was definitely accurate for me, and it generally undershoots how long games are. When I try to play a game, I expect to put in more time than it suggests.

Yeah, HLTB is almost always accurate for me, give or take a few hours. Except when there's only 1 or 2 playing, then the numbers get out of whack. For a while, Danganronpa 2 was listed as 80 hours for the main story.
same here.
DR2 took around the same time or slightly longer due to that horrid minigame which involved RNG. never again lol

Aside the aforementioned points, the game gives you coins at the end of each trial (I think searching the environment might also yield a few coins) that you can use in a gumball machine type thing. I think the rewards ranged from music tracks to consumable items you can give to other players. I didn't use it much because getting an item was luck based and the rewards weren't that interesting.
In the main game you'll have opportunities to hang out with a person of your choice which raises your relationship level with them. Raising your relationship enough will periodically cause them to open up to you and flesh out the character a bit. Maxing your relationship with everyone in one playthrough is impossible. Some characters require a lot of hanging out with so even with focus it's possible you might only complete your relationship with one character. That's where the alternate game comes into play.
DangonRonpa has a "School Mode", the story starts the same way but it immediately becomes a happy-go-lucky type of situation. In this mode, Monokuma (the bear antagonist thing) wants you to help him build junk and will provide a list of materials needed to build said junk. You also have to build it before a given deadline. Your job is to assign people to different tasks. Some people will have to search for the materials (success is RNG based) while others have to be assigned to cleaning because a filthy school means everyone will be forced to spend a precious day cleaning. You also have stamina to juggle so some characters will have to rest. Each character has levels for their cleaning and gathering that rise the more they do said task. This mode is probably impossible to beat the first time around, but playthroughs are quite short and your levels carry over each time so you'll eventually be able to do it. In this mode you get many more opportunities to hang out with people and is where you'll be able to get every characters full exposition. There's no punishment for failing to build something, if you can't do it by the deadline you just fail that task and are given the next thing to build. Successfully building everything is how you beat the mode.

Every game that I wanted in February had flaws so far. Hopefully this will break the trend.
2nd place for the most despair upupupu.
