Dinkum is a farming and life sim game where players can farm, mine, build their own house and collect resources from all over the island. While the game is out on Steam early release, there are a lot of neat features in the game that makes it worth paying for. There are new updates coming to the game which have been confirmed by the developer. This guide will take you through the question that you might have been wondering – how long is a day in Dinkum?
Length of a Day in Dinkum
When you start playing Dinkum, you will notice a time at the top left corner of your screen. This is the in-game time, as the game has a day and night cycle. It’s pretty important as most of the events in the game depend on it, such as access to your friendly villagers.

Another thing that you will realize is that you can’t really pause the game, or save it while you’re in the middle of the day. If you click on Esc, it takes you to the Journal and options while the game runs in the game. Time passes.
Some players might want to make full use of their stamina, as you have a very limited amount after midnight. You can’t really work on strenuous tasks such as farming, cutting trees, or mining. However, you can still craft items and use your machines as they don’t need any stamina to use.
There are 17 hours in the game from 7 AM to 12 AM, and if you want to utilize all of them, you’re looking at about 35 minutes of play time. Be prepared to play for this duration whenever you start a new game, or save early and lose out on your day. And if you’re planning to play at night-time in the game as well, this time period will be even longer.
