Atelier Annie can be completed in roughly twelve to fifteen hours, although it's a game that cannot be properly enjoyed in a single playthrough. It is not possible to create every attraction in the game, nor complete every request given.

If you are an RPG fan, this game will probably bore you, as it is really almost a sim, but if you are ready to graduate from Pokemon, this is a good stepping stone.
