Following the case files, the mode will last about 8 and a half hours real time in which the player(s) are allowed to follow the storyline or completely ignore it. Ignoring it however, will cause the game to end upon the arrival of the military, making this route about 6 and a half hours long.

*There is much speculation over which ending is the true one, Ending A or Ending S. Capcom stated at E3 2013 that Ending S is canon. However, Ending A leads to [[Dead Rising 2: Case West]], which was also confirmed to be canon. It is a possibly that they are both canon, however it is never explained.
