Guide Planning Must Account for Full-Day NPC Routines
The 24-hour schedule means resident location guides cannot stop at daytime business hours.
What the official update confirms
The official day-and-night devlog says NPCs can wander at night, drink late, or spend time by the docks at sunset. The town remains explorable after dark rather than forcing the player to sleep at a fixed cutoff.
What this changes for players
Future schedule and clue guides need time-of-day context, alternative resident locations, building access states, and night-specific investigation opportunities. A closed workplace may redirect the player to a resident's evening routine.
What is not confirmed
The developer has not published exact hourly schedules, clock speed, stamina rules, or penalties for staying awake. Those values are not guessed in this guide system.
