Grave Seasons Day and Night Cycle Explained

Grave Seasons uses a 24-hour schedule rather than treating night as an automatic stop. Official development information says NPCs may also be active at night. Exact clock speed, resident routines, shop hours, seasonal changes, and schedule exceptions are not yet verified, so this page explains the confirmed system without inventing a timetable.

What a full-day schedule means

The official Day & Night development update confirms that the game runs on a 24-hour schedule and that residents can be active after dark. This supports a world that does not simply shut down at a fixed evening cutoff.

It does not confirm the exact routine of any named character. A dependable schedule guide must account for time, story state, season, and other possible conditions on the final build. Until those can be tested, we keep the distinction between the overall system and character-level data.
