How long is Life is Strange Double Exposure?

Asking how long Life is Strange Double Exposure is, means considering just how much you're going to think about your decisions, and how much of a completionist you are. 

This probably won't be the longest thing you'll play this year, but there's plenty to do and some variety in how long it all takes depending on how much you want to engage with it it all. Whatever you end up doing it more than justifies its runtime with an ability to capture an excellent sense of time and place - set in the heart of snowy Vermont, Canada, you'll easily burn away hours exploring Caledon University. 

Below you'll find details on how long it takes to beat Life is Strange Double Exposure for all playstyles.

How long to beat Life is Strange Double Exposure?

On average Life is Strange Double Exposure lasts between 12-14 hours. That's a basic playthrough, assuming you don't take excessive time to explore, check out conversation options, or spend ages diving between parallel universes to uncover easter eggs and information. 

A more complete Life is Strange Double Exposure playthrough will more likely take around 20-25 hours, depending on how much time you spend agonizing over every decision, or trying to find all the Life is Strange Double Exposure polaroid locations. There's plenty of hidden details and information to uncover which can offer up new dialogue options, and, of course, register at the end of a chapter to see how your choices line up against everyone else. 

There's no right or wrong way to play but working out things like where to hide the bottlecap in Life is Strange Double Exposure or trying to investigate the Cow Skull in Life will definitely add time. I certainly found value in going the competitionist route - not only did it extend the game length significantly, it also gave me plenty more time to spend with Max Caufield some nine years after our last supernatural misadventure. If you purchased the Ultimate Edition of Life is Strange Double Exposure, you'll also have exclusive Exposure cat content, although this quest doesn't add much time to the clock. 

Once you're done with the game, you'll also have the option to replay scenes to hunt for collectibles and try out different choices to see the consequences, or restart them entirely to experience all of the different branches of the storyline.
