How long is The Book? How long to beat it
Total play time for The Book is about 45.6 hours to do everything, and around 9 hours to reach the end of the main story. These are player-submitted times from HowLongToBeat, not our own, shown with the number of players behind each.
| How you play | Hours | Players logged |
|---|---|---|
| Just the main story: straight through the critical path | 9h | 59 |
| Main + the extras: story plus the side content most people do | 17.9h | 58 |
| Completionist: everything: 100% the game | 45.6h | 15 |
At its current price of $1.79, beating the main story works out to about $0.20 per hour. That is the price divided by the hours, a value read and not a verdict: a longer game costs less per hour, which is not the same as being the better game.

Where The Book sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where The Book lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 100ahead of 77% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 0ahead of 0% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about The Book
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
