It's certainly not a short game. Quite long in fact, considering all the optional interactions with the environment.

I downloaded the demo and I think the English translation is quite good. I'm sure Steve Ince played a large part in that. I wish I could say the same about the voiceacting. It took me a while to get used to the German Sadwick, but I'm afraid I'll never get used to this one. There's a world of difference between the quality German voices and the exaggerated English voices with their unsubtle lisps, although I didn't like the German Ben either. You can actually hear the actors make a tremendous effort to be someone they are not. Sigh. And yes, it's like each sentence was recorded separately and then the lines were glued together with not enough breathing space in between. Annoying. Kills the immersion.
