[[File:GGTE01_2020-09-14_13-45-20.png|thumb]]The Day Cycle is the game mechanic that controls how time progresses, switching between Day and Night after a specific amount of time has passed. | |||
The Day Cycle is the | =''Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!''= | ||
The Day Cycle in ''[[Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!]]'' is split in to daytime and nighttime, controlled by which Timer is active. There are three different Timers: Timer 5, Timer 10, and Timer 15, which set the length of a cycle to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 15 minutes, respectively. All three can be purchased in the [[Chibi-PC/Plug-Into-Adventure!#Online_Shop|Chibi-PC]] from the beginning of the game. To change the length of the current Day Cycle, simply purchase the Timer with the desired amount of minutes. | |||

The [[Pajamas]] [[Suit]] allows [[Chibi-Robo]] to take a nap, skipping to the next Day Cycle. Certain actions freeze the passage of time, including but not limited to: having the equipment menu open by pressing [[File:PiA X button.png]], posing, sitting, and being inside the [[Chibi-House/Plug-Into-Adventure!|Chibi-House]] or a [[Chibi-Door]]. | |||

The night begins at 7:00 P.M. and ends at 7:00 A.M., according to the clocks around the house. At night, the Sandersons will typically be asleep, allowing the toys to wander around. The [[Backyard (PIA)#U.F.O.|U.F.O.]] can only be summoned at night. At 1 A.M. (when the Timer is half-complete) the music will fade away for the rest of the night. | |||

Like in ''Plug Into Adventure!'', the family will typically be asleep at night, allowing the toys to wander about freely. However, troublesome [[Ghosts]] can also appear at night and drain Chibi-Robo's [[watt]]s. | |||

When the moon icon has a playing card next to it, it means it's a "Casino Night", and according to urban legend, it should be easier to win at the [[Casino]] that night. | |||
In other Chibi-Robo games, gameplay can also take place at night. This is sometimes when enemies will attack. Generally, characters other than Chibi-Robo will be in different places than during the day. | In other Chibi-Robo games, gameplay can also take place at night.
