The main story runs about 20 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 40 hrs, roughly 2 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM and Geforce (VRAM 1GB or better). At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 15GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Steins;Gate Elite launched on 17 September 2016, within three weeks of Persona 5, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Persona 5, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition.
