How Long Is Five Nights at Freddy’s Secret of the Mimic?
Written by Andrew Hammel
Secret of the Mimic is said to last 8 to 10 hours for a regular story playthrough, and up to 20 hours to 100% complete… but some players are reporting shorter times, despite what the developers said.
Here’s a bit more information.
What the Developers Actually Said Regarding Game Length
In an interview with Dawko, the devs mentioned the main game would take around 8 to 10 hours.
They also estimated about 18 to 20 hours for full completion.
What Players Are Actually Seeing
Some players are saying that number might be too generous, and we’ve even seen reports that a steamer even beat the game in just 4 hours. This isn’t something we’ve actually confirmed ourselves, though.
Others mentioned that while they still enjoy it, the shorter runtime makes the $40 price feel a little steep.
Final Blurb
If you're playing for the story, expect around 8 hours… maybe less if you rush. For 100% completion, you might double that.
But if you're looking for a long FNAF marathon, this might feel more like a sprint.
