Is is 8-12 hours like a previous post here from 1 year ago states?

There's more than one guy that has beaten this game.

It took me between 8 and 10 hours.

I beat the game in two sittings. I think altogether it took me about 8 hours. Some may call that short, but in terms of pacing, it feels like the end comes at just the right time- not too early, not too late. The length definitely isn't something to complain about.

Ouch. Sounds to me that only spy-type gamers would only find this fun - spending days examining the game's smallest clue. "

JT hit it spot on. Honestly, if it was longer I would have felt way too drained. I did it in 2 sessions, and it takes a little toll on you.

The game is constantly pushing forward, so there is never really time within the game to linger on those small clues. You have to take them as they come. Whether you figure it out or not, the game reveals the mystery to you before it comes to a close. "

I beat it in one playthrough. Very engrossing, and it took me under 9 hours.

Perhaps it does constantly push forward. However, there is always time to linger to examine the area, search for small clues, etc. I haven't got the game yet but I've played the demo. Each chapter offered, I've played to the extent - specifically the crime scene, I took at least two and a half hours to complete it because I examined just about everything and noted the clues.
 
To cut short, I disagree and find it completely bullshit when you said "so there is never really time within the game to linger on those small clues". "

Well I find it complete bullshit that you are really trying to tell me about a game that I have played and you haven't. There are like 4 times in the game that you actually investigate with Jayden. It is a only a small portion of the actual gameplay. I got the trophy for finding all the clues that are in the level seen on the demo, and I did it in like 15 minutes. And no I wasn't trying to do some sort of speed run. Sure, if you try to not make the game progress, it won't. You can stand in a room pacing for hours, but you won't. Like I said (and take from someone who actually knows), the game makes the player very on edge, and you WILL want to progress. Don't talk unless you know what you are talking about. "

"The game is constantly pushing forward, so there is never really time within the game to linger on those small clues" 
To me it sounded as if each chapter is timed, where the player has a limited of time to search/investigate before it pushes to the next sequence. Thus, impossible to spend time to linger a bit to find clues and take notes.
"the game makes the player very on edge, and you WILL want to progress. Don't talk unless you know what you are talking about." So you assume every single player, all around the world, and regardless of any account, will be on the edge? Like a mind reader. I like talking, I know what I'm talking about. "

"But in my experience I don't know how anyone couldn't be so enthralled to move forward."

Your talking to one right now. "

i think it was more like 12 hours for me.

It's as long as my pen- 
 
I mean... it's pretty long.

Ok. End of story. Now quit trying to be difficult. Its kind of ridiculous now. "

It took me a total of about 8 hours 30 some odd minutes. I completed it in about 3 sittings, definitely good pacing. Even the beginning which is criticized at being too slow, felt very purposeful when I reflected on my play through. It can take you slightly longer to play through depending on certain outcomes or if you really stop to take in some of the environments. Yet had the game been any longer I think I would have had a heart attack from the buildup.

It took me about 10 hours, most of which were filled with tension and stress; definitely not too short.

Took me around 9 hours. 

Took me around 9 hours, but I spent some time getting used to the movement so a second playthrough doing it differently would probably take around 8-8.5
 
I played it all in one sitting and fell asleep around 15 minutes later, that game drained me totally, but holy crap was it enjoyable.

About 7 - 8 hours for me. Iv acually just finished, watching end creds right now.
