Our session recommendation for Reflections of Life: Gone But Not Forgotten Collector's Edition is up to 120 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.
