In this version you need to have more beauty if you want to get to the beach event with the younger woman, in the park you need to be famous and beauty if you want to get the park event (I am creating a walkthrough for the game btw), in the future you will use knowledge with some other events with your teacher or classmates and more.
About the time zones, there is other games with only 2 things a day, like kunoichi trainer and some games with only one thing a day.
Thanks for the comment, I hope you are enjoying the game.
