Time

Time is a game mechanic in Mineko's Night Market. Every day is divided into three parts: Day, Evening, and Night. Time advances when Mineko travels by bus; when she returns home, the stage of the day will advance. Time does not advance within a given location, only when Mineko travels by bus. The bus only runs during the Day and Evening, effectively limiting Mineko to traveling to two non-Village locations per day.
The game is only saved when Mineko goes to sleep, regardless of the time. Exiting the game before she sleeps will result in all progress that day being lost.
== Village ==
Villagers are most commonly found in the Day and Evening. Few Villagers will be out at Night. Thus, gifts are best given before nighttime.
All shops and museums close at Night.
== Fishing ==
Certain fish can only be caught at certain times of day.
== Night Market ==
The Night Market happens on Saturday night. If Mineko is outside the Village on Saturday evening, the bus home will automatically take her to the Market.
