How long to beat Deep Dish Dungeon

Checked 2026-10-16. Steam build 25955406. Patch 1.0.47.0.

I will not invent a player average three days after launch. The only length number I am willing to print is the one NPC Tips attributes to the developer on the official Discord on 12 September 2026: at least 15 to 20 hours. HowLongToBeat had no submitted clear times when that page was written, and I did not find a newer average on 16 October 2026.

Full game versus demo

The 15–20 hour line is a developer estimate for the full dungeon, not a median from finished saves. The demo is a separate product. Steam and the publisher describe about one hour of demo content with no time limit. Players on Reddit report one to two hours.

The dungeon is not a roguelike. Behold has said the layout is hand-built, with only some keys, treasures, and passages shuffled. A second save should be shorter once you know the landmarks, but nobody has published that split yet.

Questions

Is the demo the whole game on a timer?

No. The demo is a free, separate app of about an hour. It does not include the bosses or the large puzzles, and its save does not carry into the full game.
