Riviera: The Promised Land is a little more than 20 hours depending on how much of the extra stuff you do outside of the main story

i didnât realize until recently that THG was directed by kazunari yonemitsu, the writer-director-designer of baroque! i have no idea why he isnât credited anywhere on the wikipedia page for the latter, since the project was his baby to a degree uncommon for most games before or since, but heâs listed as such everywhere else. i guess he wasnât involved in the remake? he also developed aleste and madou monogatari/puyo puyo. i donât think he thought too highly of THG, though. hereâs an interview he did around 2000: https://pastebin.com/yTAurVen

Fallout 1 is paced incredibly well and lasts about 15 hours, Alpha Protocol is about 12, and they both make up for it with hugely branching paths that cry for replays.

Icewind Dale, minus its insane expansion, and Paper Sorcerer both work.

Shadowrun for the SNES is a little under 15 hours long if you know what youâre doing and you grind in optimal spots.

And Delta Rune is even shorter!
Ys 1 is crazy short. I was like âman this first tower was pretty goodâ, and that was the end of the game. I wasnât even mad! It was perfect!

somebody should make an Ys game that retains the bump system to attack enemies, except there are pinball physics and Adol is basically a pinball. ys video rpg pinball would be rad.

Creature in the Well is neat enough for the first hour but thatâs more of a baseball/Breakout action game
Yokuâs Island Express proves that a pinball-platformer is a self-nullifying concept, it really doesnât work at all and the lovely art and mood is outright deceptive
