How are you managing your time in Dawnwalker?

Hey, so how are you guys playing Dawnwalker so far?

Are you spending time pretty freely, or are you trying to conserve it?

I’m kind of expecting my first playthrough to be cursed but that's the magic. It feels like I’m wasting quite a lot of time, but maybe that’s actually the feeling the game is supposed to give you.
I’m spending time on skills, occasionally helping people, and doing everything I can to piss Ambrus off - killing his goons, destroying his property, etc.
I am on night 3 so far and around 7h of gameplay. I like sniffing around the map.
