How long is a 'Perfect Crime' playthrough?

[GigaZettaSlow]

I had huge issues trying to get 'Perfect Crime' when I first played Heavy Rain and just gave up. Took a pretty huge break from gaming and now I'm going through my PS3 backlog (but posting here cause it doesn't look like there's major differences trophy requirement wise and I figured it's slightly more active) and my lack of this platinum is kinda just sticking out like a sore thumb. With the release of the PS4 version, it seems like the exact requirements are better understood so I thought I'd give it a few more tries soon after dealing with another game or two.

 

But, it's been years. I've completely forgotten how this game works. I've still got a save file for the game. From what I recall, I can just start the game from a certain point and play from there. How long should I expect this playthrough to take if I'm trying to just get through it as quickly as possible with no concern for the story? I know some sections will be skipped cause of the fate of some characters but I forgot how much shorter it makes runs.

 

Thanks! ?

There’s a full playthru video on YouTube that runs to just over 6 hours, but if you have an existing save file you can slice at least an hour off that by starting at the convenience store.

Alright then. That more or less lines up with me recalling that there were times where I was able to do one Perfect Crime attempt a day.

 

It'll probably take me 2-3 days now but fingers crossed that it'll only take me a single attempt.

You don’t have to go all the way back. Used a guide and it showed me that I could start from Hassan’s Shop. Not much, but a little boost forward
