Real-Time 24-Hour Cycle & Dynamic Weather
Beast Saga features a true 24-hour day-night cycle, where the changing times of day significantly affect gameplay. For example, during the night, locations like inns and banks close, and you'll no longer be able to find shopkeepers to buy goods. However, you can use life skills like lockpicking to sneak into places if needed. Certain creatures, like specific types of insects, only appear during certain times of day. Most NPCs are active during the day, while those involved with the underworld might only be found at night. Additionally, some story events and quests can only be triggered during specific times, allowing players to experience different gameplay and narrative outcomes depending on the time of day.

Most of the story quests allow you to influence the direction of the narrative by changing your choices, discovering hidden clues, and altering the course of events. These decisions not only shape the story and character outcomes but may also pull you into the tangled web of Jianghu conspiracies, trigger hidden quests, unlock secret treasures, or lead to unexpected adventures. Your choices may even impact the progression of other quests. Unlimited Open-Ended Storyline: Your Choices Define Your Path
