Gameplay Experience and Playtime

In terms of time investment, completing the main story typically takes between 16 and 20 hours.

While it isn’t an oversized open world, it remains a substantial experience that encourages thorough investigation.
Exploring the World: All Game Locations
The game features seven primary locations. While the scale varies, some regions offer significantly more freedom than others. The Vatican and Gizeh stand out as the most open regions, providing the most opportunity for exploration. Sukhothai is also relatively open, though movement is more restricted as it is explored via boat.
The seven main locations are:
- Marshall College
- The Vatican
- Gizeh
- Himalayas
- Shanghai
- Sukhothai
- Iraq
One of the game’s best features is the ability to return to these sites. As noted in the game,
“All of the locations can be revisited to complete any unfinished fieldwork, collect every last one of the notes and items to be found, or just take in the sights of the world.”
To revisit a location, open your journal using the menu button, navigate to the ‘Travels’ section, select your desired destination, and click the ‘Revisit’ button.
