−
Assuming the game will not be paused, a displayed time step of 10 minutes in-game will equal 7 real-life seconds. This means:
+
If the game is not paused and passes without a cut-scene, one maximum-length game-day (20 hours) passes in 860 seconds, real-time (14 minutes 20 seconds). At this rate:
−
* One in-game hour equals 42 seconds.
  −
* One in-game day equals 840 seconds (14 minutes).
  −
* One in-game month equals 392 minutes (~6.533 hours).
  −
* One in-game year equals 1568 minutes (~26.133 hours).
  −
''This calculation does not contain any game-play induced pauses like cut-scenes or the selling summary after each day.''
     −
Taking this into consideration, assuming the player will use the full 20 hours (6:00 AM to 2:00 AM) available on every day and that the player will collect everything else there is, it would take 3024 minutes (50.4 hours) to "complete the game", since Winter 21st in Year 2 will be the day the last recipe of [[The Queen of Sauce]] will be available through the TV enabling the player to earn the [[Cooking#Achievements|Gourmet Chef achievement]].
+
* One displayed time step of 10 minutes in-game equals about 7.14 seconds.
 +
* One in-game hour equals 43 seconds.
 +
* One in-game season equals 401 minutes 20 seconds (~6.689 hours).
 +
* One in-game year equals 1605 minutes 20 seconds (~26.756 hours).
 +
* Two in-game years equal 3210 minutes 40 seconds (~53.511 hours).
 +
 
 +
This calculation does not contain any between-day cut-scenes, announcements, or the selling summary after each day.
 +
 
 +
Playing 18-hour game-days:
 +
* One in-game day equals 774 seconds (12.9 minutes).
 +
* One in-game season equals 361 minutes 12 seconds (6.02 hours).
 +
* Two in-game years equal 2889 minutes 36 seconds (48.16 hours).
 +

There is no guarantee that all possible items can be acquired in any given time frame. And it is definitely possible to be worth a 4-candle evaluation from Grandpa well before year 3. But clearly, two game years of active playing take a minimum of about 50 hours to do. May they be fun ones.
