Polygon has put together a list of five engaging video games that can each be completed in 20 hours or fewer, aimed at players who want a quick, satisfying experience between longer, sprawling titles. The selection spans several genres, from comedic detective adventures to fast-paced action and unsettling mystery, giving players variety despite the short playtime.

Highlights include the point-and-click comedy mystery Later Alligator (two to four hours), the stylish, time-manipulating action platformer Katana ZERO (five to six hours, or up to 15 for full content), the dark visual novel Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club (around 15 hours), and the abstract, challenging Soulslike Void Sols. A fifth title was also included in the list but was cut off in the source text before further detail was given.

– Later Alligator: a comedic point-and-click murder mystery starring detective-hired alligators, playable in 2-4 hours
– Katana ZERO: a stylish, time-bending hack-and-slash platformer, completable in 5-6 hours (up to 15 for full content)
– Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club: a dark mystery visual novel taking around 15 hours
– Void Sols: an abstract, difficult indie Soulslike relying on light and darkness mechanics
