How long does BioShock take place?

How long does BioShock take place? From when your plane crashes to Killing Frank Fontaine
Is it the same night your plane crashes
1 day
1 week
or any other amount of time

It's however long the player takes, there are only two moments in my memory where the game doesn't take place in real time, one being when you black out after first splicing with the Electro Bolt plasmid (which we can safely assume isn't a long time, as the tail of the plane then hits the tunnel.) the other time being when you flee from Ryan's office and wake up in the safehouse. Other than those moments time passes at the same rate as the player sees, so the events can take as long as the player takes to play through.

I totally agree with you. It depends on the time it takes the player to play through. Especially if you take a long time to fully explore the environment.

im guessing 2 days, since Jack's plane "crashed" in the night and in the ending it was daytime..

2 Days?
Well, technically that would make some sense, the game had an air of ungency to it....


I would say... 15 days. Ish. Give or take.

I'm sure he sleeps. Whenever we turn off the game and give it a rest, Jack's resting somewhere in Rapture. Lol.

I do believe the correct term is passed out somewhere, surrounded by potato chips, cake, and alcohol.
Oh the good life Jack lives... lol
