Estimated Play Time (now searchable!): You can now use the "Estimated Play Time" form on any game to submit a "vote" for how long it takes to finish the game.
- Vote only if you've played the game.
- Vote on how long it would take to get to one final ending without hints or a walkthrough.
- Time spent away from the game doesn't count.
- Times don't need to be exact. Good-faith estimates are fine.
We'll display the median time vote near the top of that game's page.
(EDIT: Nov 15) You can also search for games by play time using the new playtime: search filter. For example, here's a list of games that have an estimated play time of six hours or more.
playtime:minimum-maximum lists games with an estimated play time in the given range. After each number, use h for hours or m for minutes. For example, playtime:2h15m-3h shows games with an estimated play time of anywhere from 2 hours and 15 minutes to 3 hours. Hours may include decimals (for example, 3.5h). playtime:1.5h- lists games with an estimated play time of at least 1 and a half hours. playtime:-45m lists games with an estimated play time of 45 minutes or less. playtime:1h searches for games with an estimated play time of 1 hour. playtime: with no text after it searches for games with no estimated play time.
This feature is very, very new. We've got a lot of ideas for improvements, and we've got a public discussion going on the intfiction.org forum.
