This chart displays the time played in The Yawhg depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 3.7 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 50 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?).

You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
