I play slow and explore everything, so it took me 1 hour to finish the lab. I don't want to play the demo all the way through, because then I will have to repeat everything.
Also, I am playing in Easy mode (aka "I'm Afraid" mode) and so far it has been, indeed, easy. There's a couple of baddies that will kick butt, but there are adequate skills available. The weapon/armor situation is strange, but it works so far. The cat kicks some serious butt ... twice. And with an interesting twist.
This is a bit different from earlier Indi games and I wish it was a bit longer than 8 hours, but us old explorers can stretch anything a few hours longer. The invisible enemy encounter rate is very reasonable so exploring (i.e bactracking) is not a real hassle like in some games.
@Lucy - You need to find a way through the laser bars blocking your way out. Keep going up levels to find the laser wall. When you find the weapons room, you are very close to the laser wall. The game will guide you what to do when you encounter the laser wall. There is some backtracking involved, but not excessive.
aloha,
