I just found my save files: I finished the game on the 9th month, 3rd week, and 1st day (playing as Red, in the Dungeon faction). So, don't be too intimidated by the potentially long playtime: after a while, you'll find ways to significantly speed up your movement across the overland world. And another thing to note about this map: topographically, it's simpler than other maps by samatron, and there's less pressure to find monoliths and tents – which, for me, is a positive, not a negative.
However, I played an older version, before the latest changes.
