If you are planning to dive into the complex simulation of NTRaholic, you are probably wondering: How much time do I need to invest?
Unlike linear visual novels that you can click through in an afternoon, NTRaholic is a resource management RPG with a strict time limit and punishing mechanics. Based on our internal testing of the latest patch (v3.3.3), the answer depends entirely on how you manage the infamous “Suspicion Meter.”
Here is the definitive breakdown of How long is NTRaholic for every type of player.

Editor’s View: Is It Worth the Time?
By Catherine Hu, Game Tester & Writer
“I have logged over 45 hours in NTRaholic across three different updates (v3.1 to v3.3.3) to verify content for our wiki. Here is the honest truth about the game’s length:
The first 15 hours are incredibly immersive. The tension of the ‘Suspicion Meter’ makes every choice feel meaningful. However, if you are aiming for 100% completion, the game artificially pads its length.
Personally, I found that playing ‘legitimately’ for the first run is rewarding. But when you want to see the other 4 endings? Do yourself a favor and use XMODhub. Playing the typing minigame 200 times just to afford a virtual gift isn’t ‘gameplay’—it’s a chore. The trainer let me experience the alternate story routes in just 5 hours instead of another 20.”
Why Is the Game This Long? (The 90-Day Cycle)
To understand the game’s length, you need to understand its core loop. The game is not just about reading text; it is a mathematical survival simulation.
1. The 90-Day Time Limit
The game is hard-coded to take place over a maximum of 90 in-game days.
Each day has 4 Time Slots (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night).
That gives you roughly 360 Actions per playthrough.
If you play optimally, you can trigger the “Main Event” chains by Day 45-60, which translates to roughly 12 hours of real-time gameplay.
2. The “Grind” Wall
This is where most players lose time. To trigger specific scenes, you must pass stat checks (e.g., Massage Skill Level 3).
The Problem: You cannot just “choose” to progress. You must play the Typing Minigame (at night) to earn money and the Massage Minigame to level up skills.
Time Sink: We estimated that a legitimate player spends 30-40% of their playtime just repeating these minigames to earn enough Yen for items like the Night Vision Goggles ($2,500) or Fine Wine ($800).
3. The “Suspicion” Restarts
If your Suspicion Meter hits 100%, you get a Game Over.
Unless you are saving every in-game day (Save Scumming), one mistake can cost you hours of progress.
Many players report having to restart the game entirely after 10 hours because they didn’t buy the Discount Card in Week 1, making the late-game economy impossible to survive.
How to “Speedrun” the Story (The Smart Way)
If you are an adult with a busy job, you might not have 30 hours to spend grinding a typing minigame. This is why many veteran players use tools to focus on the narrative.
Using the XMODhub Trainer changes the “How long is NTRaholic” calculation significantly:
Skip the Money Grind: By toggling “Infinite Money,” you save approx. 5 hours of gameplay normally spent working the night shift job.
Bypass Skill Checks: With “Max Stats,” you don’t need to play the massage minigame 50 times to unlock the next story branch.
No Game Overs: Enabling “Freeze Suspicion” ensures you never have to replay a week because the husband came home early.
Completionist Guide: What Takes 30 Hours?
If you aim for the “100% Completion” badge, the game length doubles. Here is the financial and time cost to see everything:
Total Money Needed: You need approximately $15,000+ Yen to buy every outfit, toy, and event item. Legally earning this takes about 80 in-game nights of work.
Ending A (Pure Love): Requires keeping Corruption low while Affection is high (Very difficult/Slow).
Ending B (Fallen): The standard route.
Ending C (Exposed): Requires specific high-suspicion events.
Side Character Routes: You must also max out relationships with the Store Clerk and the mysterious lady in the alley, which requires specific items only available on certain days of the week.
Pro Tip: To get 100% without replaying the game 3 times, create a “Master Save” on Day 30. This is the branching point where you can pursue different routes without restarting from Day 1.
FAQ: Time & Progress
Q: Does the “Uncensored” version add more playtime?
A: Yes. The uncensored content (often added via DLC or patches) includes additional animated scenes that extend the “Night Events.” Expect an extra 1-2 hours of content compared to the base Steam version.
Q: Can I continue playing after Day 90?
A: No. Day 90 is the hard limit. If you haven’t triggered an ending by then, you will receive a default “Time’s Up” ending.
Q: How long is the v3.3.3 update specifically?
A: The latest v3.3.3 update added the “Hot Spring Trip” arc. This is a mid-game event that adds roughly 2 hours of unique gameplay if you meet the requirements (Affection > 50 by Day 40).
