Day and Night
How the day cycle works, what changes after dark, and how sleeping in a bed skips the night.
Day and Night in Craven’s Hollow is a cycle that never stops. One full day lasts 35m, and everyone in town shares the same time. A clock in the bottom-left corner of your screen shows the time, with a sun icon by day and a moon from evening until morning.
The town clock has 24 hours, so one hour on it lasts about 1m 28s.
Times of Day
| Time of day | When it runs | What you notice |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | Sunrise until noon | Bright daylight and daytime outdoor sounds. |
| Afternoon | Noon until sunset | The lights come on about 1m 28s before sunset. |
| Evening | Sunset, lasting about 4m 22s | The lights are on, outdoor sounds switch to night sounds, night plants appear, and you can already sleep through the night. |
| Night | The end of evening until sunrise | The darkest part of the day. Night plants and night songs appear. |
What Changes at Night
- Lights come on. Lamps and lanterns around town switch on shortly before sunset and stay on until sunrise. Your character also carries a small light.
- Fireflies appear. Fireflies drift around town once the lights are on. The bees you see by day are gone.
- Different music plays. Evening and night have their own songs. See Music.
- Night plants turn up. From evening until sunrise, glowing night plants grow in the woods and Foraging finds change:
| Plant | Rarity | When it appears |
|---|---|---|
 Moonthistle |
Epic | Evening and night |
 Zephyr Bloom |
Mythical | Evening and night, or in the rain |
 Starfall Petal |
Divine | Only on rainy evenings and nights |
- Residents head home. Kevin chats with Maya, Kalt, and Mable around 5 PM, heads home around 6 PM, sits in his armchair from 7 PM, and goes to bed at 10 PM. Rowan is back at his cabin by about 6 PM and sleeps from 10 PM until 6 AM. Ghost waits at the Broken Clock Tower from 7 PM until 6 AM.
Maya, Kalt, Bella, Mable, Minerva, and Silas stay at their spots day and night, so you can find them at any hour.
Sleeping Through the Night
You can skip the night by sleeping in a bed. It only works when every player on the server is asleep at the same time.
Get a bed
Place a bed in your home. The Bed costs 800 gold at Rowan’s furniture shop, and other beds such as the Canopy Bed work too. See Furniture.
Wait for evening or night
The night can only be skipped from evening until morning.
Go to sleep
Walk up to the bed and choose Sleep. A counter such as “2/4 players sleeping” shows how many players are in bed.
Wake up in the morning
When every player is asleep, the screen fades to black for about 8 seconds and a short dream appears. Then a new morning begins and everyone wakes up.
Every player counts, wherever they are, so one player who is away from a bed holds up the skip. If a player leaves the server, they stop counting.
Tips
- Look at the sky through a telescope. The view changes with the time of day and the weather. You can place a Telescope in your home or visit the ones around town, such as the one near Minerva’s Home.
- Time of day does not change the light in the Mines. Each floor has its own light level.
