Virginia slaps btw.

Question to the floor!

How long will it take to finish the game from the very last save point?

Really want to do it in one go from there, but just a bit worried I’ll start it and be on the end game well into the early hours of the morning!

Sightly longer I'd say. And that's assuming you've done all the wake stuff you can at that point

Think I'm probably getting near the end of this now.  I seem to have run out of Wake stuff, and Saga has just...
The suggested switch to Story mode has definitely made it more enjoyable.  (Especially after getting stuck in a section with endlessly spawning shadows, and failing to spot the exit.  Thus depleting every battery and bullet in Alan's arsenal...)

I had a weird revelation that I was essentially playing a phenomenally high budget point and click adventure with occasional shooty bits, and that's somehow brought it into focus for me. (I like point and clicks, so this is genuinely a Good Thing.)

I appreciate I may not be as near the finale as I imagine, but definitely having a good time with it.

I should add that Saga's story gets really really fun after your point. Big smile on my face stuff.

I've now finished this.  I thought it was fun.  It does the whole horror movie thing of making you spend a large chunk of the duration going "no you idiot, don't do that" which is always slightly trickier to get away with in a video game.  But I think the game's own sense of humour does a lot to mitigate that.  
Slightly frustrated by the end - has anyone done the Final Draft mode?

Specifically:
So, yes, barring a slight sigh at the very end, I enjoyed it.  I particularly liked the final pay off for Saga's Mind Place - which I spent most of the game thinking was a bit fussy and unnecessary, but which turned out to be a much smarter mechanic than I'd given it credit for.

It's also left me wanting Control 2 to hurry up and arrive.

You can watch the Final Draft ending online.

I guessed as much - but is there stuff worth doing before you get there, or is it exactly the same game?

From what I read there's some slight changes to cutscenes and such throughout the whole game too but nothing worth playing through again for unless you're a big fan.

Also for Control fans
