How Long Does Mixtape Take to Beat?

It took me about three hours to complete a playthrough of Mixtape. My Steam library playtime tracker has it down as 3.1 hours, totaling 3 hours and 6 minutes. Some of this includes watching the end credits, but for the remainder of that playtime, I was pretty focused on progressing through the game. I also got 65% of the achievements available in the game, equating to a pretty thorough playthrough. That includes the 'Grunge Metal Alchemist' achievement, which is very easy to miss on the first playthrough. The remaining achievements I didn't get don't require a significant amount of time invest
