So how do tf's work in this? and how long is the game.

It's pretty long. I'm currently 5 hours in, and while I imagine I'm pretty close to the end, it's not over yet.
TFs are caused by interacting with cursed items, and the ability to cure them is very rare (in fact, afaik there is only one cure item in the entire game, so it's pretty likely you'll get permanently turned into something that isn't human).
