I have been on a kick lately with short games. Because I’m a parent with a hectic job, it’s really nice to be able to beat a game in just a few days.

I’ve played both Plague Tale games (10 & 20 hours respectively), Stray (7 hours), and Alan Wake (10 hours). All great stories, very atmospheric, and felt like just the right length for what they were.

Any other good story-heavy games that are pretty short? Throw any and all recommendations at me!

    I can’t recommend a YouTube channel First 5 enough for just such questions. It does reviews of games that are worth your time, not your money. And while it operates on even smaller length then 20 hours I think you will be able to find some good recommendations there.
