The premise, in the publisher's words
A foul curse has fallen upon the land of Cvstodia and all its inhabitants - it is simply known as The Miracle. Play as The Penitent One - a sole survivor of the massacre of the ‘Silent Sorrow’. Trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth, it’s down to you to free the world from this terrible fate and reach the origin of your anguish.

The main story runs about 25.1 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 43 hrs, roughly 1.7 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $5.35, that works out to about $0.21 per hour of the main story, or $0.12 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core2 Duo E8400 or AMD Phenom II x2 550, 4 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 260 or Radeon HD 4850.
