Timers in the game are tracked to ridiculous levels of accuracy. When the game is over, how long it took you is shown on the summary screen and is part of the Verify Code.

Regardless of where the timing information came from, they are never shown with more details than milliseconds. If a playthrough of the game takes over the max duration that can be represented in a verify code, the summary will simply show the time as dashes to indicate the game was completed in a time that was too long to track. The summary page will still show the full duration in hours up to the maximum in-game duration.

Timings are shown as:

HH:MM:SS.mmm

Where:

  • HH is hours
  • MM is minutes
  • SS is seconds
  • mmm is milliseconds
