Are you looking for a game you could beat on your scheduled lunch break instead of these 100-hour RPGs hitting both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4? Arrog has you sorted then with a 30-minute experience coming to both consoles next month on 5th February 2021. That super short playtime is pitched as a feature rather than a flaw, so know that LEAP Game Studios has taken it into account. As such, the game will be priced at just $3 when it hits the PlayStation Store.
Arrog is described as a pretty relaxing experience based around solving puzzles — you'll also "explore and decipher the enigmatic subconscious of someone who must learn to accept their own death". Its minimalist approach to both design and visuals has supposedly won it a couple of awards, and those who have played the PC version have left incredibly favourable reviews on its Steam page. There's praise for its hand-drawn art style and interactive story, among other interesting elements. It's also said to have a very easy list of achievements to complete, which means you will have another Platinum Trophy to unlock in record time.

"explore and decipher the enigmatic subconscious of someone who must learn to accept their own death"
Sounds fun and jolly...
Can a short playtime even be considered as something that could be described as a flaw? Games are designed as experiences, and there is absolutely nothing wrong if that experience lasts thirty minutes if it is executed well. Surely that is more preferable to something ten times the length that is a bloated experience?
@Vacuumator exactly. Hopefully if it does well we'll get more, but smaller experiences can be really satisfying.
@sanderson72 I'm not sure there's any huge onus on games to be fun, so much as satisfying. You wouldn't walk into the Tate Modern and complain that their new sculpture exhibit isn't fun, would you?
Alot of Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games back in the 90s could be beaten in about 30 minutes if you knew what you were doing and those cost a lot more than 3 dollars, so I have no problem with this.
I'd live games you can finish in half an hour. I'd like them to not look rubbish though please.
