How Long to Beat Endacopia
Main story, 100% completion, demo length, and how many runs the four endings take.
Endacopia is a short, dense point-and-click. A first story run lands near six and a half hours. 100% — all 16 Steam achievements, both saw endings, Stay, The Yeti, fishing, and boss avoid pairs — lands near 11–12 hours across three or four playthroughs.
Figures below mix AndyLand’s Kickstarter ~6 hour estimate, this wiki’s chapter routing, and HowLongToBeat polls (updated through August 2026). The launch video It’s Out is embedded as the official “the game is out, go play it” beat — not a length spoiler.
At a Glance
| Style | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Demo (Prologue only) | 20–40 minutes, no saves |
| Main story (one ending) | ~6–6.5 hours (HLTB main ~6h 20m average / ~6h 32m median, small sample) |
| Main + sides (fishing, optional bosses on one path) | ~8–9 hours community estimate |
| Completionist / 100% | ~11–12.5 hours (HLTB completionist ~11h 28m average / 11h median) |
| All four named endings | Same 100% window — 3–4 runs, not four full 6-hour replays if you keep a Chapter I save |
Steam still lists a lightweight install (2 GB). Length comes from puzzles, backtracking, and ending branches, not combat grind. See System Requirements.
Why One Playthrough Is Not Enough
| Goal | Extra time |
|---|---|
| Escape vs Return | Second run from a pre–Saw Box backup — code 471 (Saws) |
| Stay (Ending C) | Dedicated Chapter I reload + three area secrets (Stay Secrets) |
| The Yeti | Andyland dance after the main triangle (Andyland) |
| Fight vs avoid bosses | Opposite routing for Trapezist / Chameleon / AI (Optional Bosses) |
| I Want To Be A Fisherman | All clock states in Timesville Fishing |
| Footwork Master | Prologue soccer 100 — often a dedicated retry (Mini-Games) |
Recommended 100% order lives on Achievements. Keep wandering saves and a Chapter I file (Save System); Steam Cloud is on from 1.04.
Chapter Time Budgets (First Run)
These are planning ranges, not speedrun splits:
| Chapter | What you are doing | Rough share |
|---|---|---|
| Prologue | Doors.exe, kitchen, Cheshire, Clocky | 30–50 min (demo overlap) |
| Chapter I | Circus / Office / Timesville body parts | Largest share of a first run |
| Chapter II | Misery Town, optional bosses, Saw Box | Medium |
| Chapter III | Henry Boss or Return epilogue | Short climax |
Stuck rooms inflate Chapter I more than any boss. Use the Walkthrough and Tips instead of wandering for an extra hour.
Demo vs Full Game
The April 20, 2026 demo is a single session. Closing it restarts. It does not carry into the July 27 full release. If you only want to know whether the tone fits, the demo is the honest length check — then budget an evening for the Steam game (Release Info).
Speedruns vs Casual
Speedrunning categories sit far below story times (demo Any% historically under 40 seconds; early full-game submissions were a few minutes). Those routes skip curiosity. This page answers “how long will my first playthrough take?” — not world-record pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long is Endacopia’s main story? A: Plan about 6–6.5 hours for one ending. AndyLand’s pitch was ~6 hours; HowLongToBeat’s small main-story sample sits in the same band.
Q: How long is 100%? A: Plan 11–12 hours across multiple saves, not one continuous file.
Q: Can I see every ending in one sitting? A: Not without backups. Escape and Return split at the Saw Box; Stay needs a prepared reload. See Save System.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about Endacopia.
How long is the Endacopia demo?
About 20–40 minutes with no save system. Finish it in one session.
How many playthroughs for all endings?
Three to four if you keep a Chapter I save: Escape, Return, Stay, then Andyland for The Yeti.
Does patch 1.08 change playtime?
It removes Camera, Misery Town, and detector softlocks — it does not add story chapters. Update so you do not lose an hour to a stuck save.
