Train45 How Long to Beat

Train45 has a 4–6 hour first-playthrough and a 22+ hour full-completion estimate. This page breaks the time down by chapter, by ending, and by completion goal so you can plan your session.

Time by Chapter

Chapter	Cars	First-Playthrough Time	Repeat Time (knowledge run)
Prologue	1–4	20 min	10 min
1	5–12	50 min	25 min
2	13–22	60 min	30 min
3	23–34	70 min	35 min
4	35–45	75 min	40 min
5	46–52	50 min	30 min
6	53–57	40 min	25 min

Total main-story average: 6 hours 5 minutes on a knowledge run, 8–9 hours on a first playthrough.

Time by Goal

Main Story (any ending): 5–7 hours. Pick Reina or Mai for the fastest route.
One Companion Happy Ending + True Ending: 10–12 hours across two playthroughs.
All 11 Named Endings: 18–22 hours across three playthroughs (Reina route → Mai + True Ending → Destined End).
100% Completion (all 20 achievements, all CGs, all chests): 25–35 hours. This includes the gallery unlocks and the Artbook DLC merge.
Speedrun (any ending): 55–75 minutes. Established route is Reina Happy with the optimal gift schedule.

What Slows You Down

Festival scenes — Tanabata, Obon, and Halloween scenes are date-locked. If your first Tanabata falls before you unlock car 36, you cannot revisit the scene without a New Game Plus.
Affinity misses — chapter-4 misses are save-locked. A single miss adds 1–2 hours of replay to recover.
Wrong ending branch — spending the Memo on the angel lever when you wanted True Ending forces a full restart of the final chapter.
Demo save carry-over failed. v1.0.4.2 broke Demo-to-full save inheritance. Demo saves cannot be migrated; full-release runs start fresh.

Speedrun Routes

The fastest verified speedrun route is:

Reina Lv1 in chapter 1 (free, automatic).
Reina Lv2 by chapter 2 end (Spare Panties + Empty Beer Can).
Reina Lv5 by chapter 4 window (Hot Spring route 15-1-27).
Reina Lv7 by chapter 5 end (Pet Car route 6-17-23-28).
Reina Happy Ending in chapter 6 (no OMEGA needed).

Speedrun world record sits at ~58 minutes. Top-10 times are under 70 minutes.

How This Compares to Similar Games

For reference against similar titles on Steam:

Exit 8 — 1–2 hours for the main ending, 3–4 hours for 100%.
Night of the Consumers — 2–3 hours main, 4–5 hours 100%.
8 Nights at the Barbershop — 3–4 hours main, 6–8 hours 100%.
Train45 — 6 hours main, 25–35 hours 100%. The longest of the bunch because of the 6-chapter structure and the dual ending system.

자주 묻는 질문

How long is the main story?

5–7 hours on average. First playthrough tends toward 8–9 hours due to the talk-gate and Demo-vs-full save confusion.

How long for 100%?

25–35 hours across multiple playthroughs. The Artbook DLC adds roughly 30 minutes to a single run but does not add achievements.

What is the shortest ending to chase?

The Reina Happy Ending. Speedrunners reach it in under an hour with the optimal gift schedule.

How long is a single chapter?

40–75 minutes per chapter on a first run. Chapter 4 is the longest because of the Copper Bracelet trigger.
