How long is Hell is Us?

How long is Hell is Us? Rogue Factor's take on the human condition drops players into Hadea, a dystopian world ravaged by civil war and supernatural creatures. There are plenty of mysteries to uncover in this semi-open world, but the amount of time it takes to beat it is the biggest question we have right now.

Hell is Us is a detective game as much as it is an action-adventure, which means that there's a lot of investigation and exploration required if you want to experience everything it has to offer. There's also no in-game map or quest markers, so be prepared to spend extra time getting lost and backtracking. We've used our own time spent with the game to bring you a reliable estimate of how long the average playthrough will take to complete.

Hell is Us length

Hell is Us takes around 20-25 hours to beat the main story, while a completionist playthrough takes over 35 hours.

Our estimate is determined by how long it took PK to complete his own playthrough for the Hell is Us review. In a Hell is Us dungeon design preview, game director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête says that the studio wanted to capture the rush of discovery, "not because the game told you what to do, but because you figured it out on your own."

If you have a poor memory or sense of direction, then problem-solving will demand additional hours. However, your total playtime may just as easily swing the other way. "I didn't need to gather every single piece of information," Will Nelson says in our Hell is Us preview, "just enough to expand my mind map and figure out the next step on my journey."

Subsequent playthroughs will take significantly less time than your first playthrough, since you won't need any additional time to solve puzzles, untangle mysteries, and complete Hell is Us Good Deeds. With this in mind, Hell is Us could be completed in as little as five hours with prior knowledge.

Now that you know how long Hell is Us takes to beat, get set to embark into the wilds of Hades with the Hell is Us system requirements. We've also got the lowdown on how to heal and upgrade weapons so you can survive your earliest encounters with the Hollow hordes.
