It's pretty obvious that your playstyle is going to influence this a lot. Some people love to blast through it as quickly as possible, some like to take their time. I'm in the latter camp. Sometimes I'll just sit for a while, sipping my cup of tea, soaking up the atmosphere in a room, or go sort out my inventory, or carefully consider my leveling options. So far I'm 11 hours into the game and at the start of level 5, and I have absolutely no intention of rushing.

I just finished in just under 9 hours with 68/71 secrets, all of Toorum's notes, and 7/7 treasures. Though I'll admit I sped through the first 4 levels fairly quickly as I restarted my game most of the way through level 4 after I realized how bad earth magic was. In my real playthrough I had a pretty strong team (Minotaur/sword fighter, Lizard/unarmed fighter, human/missile thief, insect/ice mage) and knew what I was doing, didn't have too many issues with combat (I was playing on normal).

In total I probably spent closer to 13-15 hours if you include the first playthrough/time spent reloading and whatnot.

8h and I've only entered level 6.

Just finished the game now. Statistics say 15h. So guess thats pretty average
Very nice game. Now just need to wait for new dungeons

Nowhere near finishing it 13-14 hrs on saves more in real time, stuck on level 6 cos of taking an all human party and basically starving, humans eat too much it seems, started another more mixed party too there on level 3-4 already,still gonna try to slog it out with the 4 humans but unless i luck out and find some food they just get mullered by the mobs on level 6.
And i dont care, if it takes me months its all good thats my playstyle,gotta find all secrets go back jump down every hole etc.

I played DM and Chaos Strikes Back first time around and took me months, good times so much satisfaction when you get further ahead.

Everyone has a different way of enjoying these style of games and this game seems to cater to many diverse players.

Almost Human i salute you .

I am playing on hard difficulty with automap on. Situated right at the start of level 3 and 1:52 of playtime. The truth is that my first play session started at 9:00 pm and ended at 2:30 am and my second play through started at 9:00 pm and ended 11:15 pm.
7:45 hours enjoying, taking notes, screenshots, quoting on the map and exploring every nook and cranny in just a pair of levels ¡

12+ hours, pre-made party, 1st time and on Level 8. This game is the most brilliant thing I've played in ages, can't stop thinking about it.

Yeah I was disappointed with it myself, to many enemies are immune. I much prefer Ice. My mage has some of both, in a replay I wouldn't bother with earth at all.

Daniel.

I'm on level 10/11 and I have a little over 20 hours logged on normal difficulty. The game hasn't been easy but I check most of the walls for buttons and levers. I've probably lost about 5 hours from dying without saving.

I finished the game earlier today and the statistic says 19hrs 40min, Steam says 28hrs. Pretty sure I didn't go away from the PC for 8 hours, without turning it off.
Seems like the in-game counter really is slower.
