Hello! Thank you for the feedback! However the game length isn't four hours.. there really isn't a limit to how long you can play. One year in the game is about four hours, I might have already shortened that, but I can't remember. Eventually you will be able to sleep through the night and hurry things up a bit. But currently one day in the game is the same as a month in the game, every three game days is a new season. Thank you for your purchase! I really hope you enjoy the game and was is yet to come!
