Please go play Undertale, man.

Alright fine I'm gonna give it a go eventually.

Considering the places where Marlon might find the farmer on his "3 am sweep", he has to have some way to either stop time or move outside of time. There just isn't enough time in a day to make it through all the areas of the map along with the the three dungeons, much less to do it in one hour. To keep the villagers from noticing, he won't use it during the day unless there's an emergency.

Sometimes I think, the Farmer is the only one passing out at 2 am, considering who finds you, when IT happens somewhere outside your house... Marlon, Linus and Joja stroll around your farm, Willy picks you up at GI at night, sometimes even your spouse finds you at the mines, although lying in bed since 10 pm... Kinda creepy, if you ask me 🫣

Yeah. Definitely creepy. One thing worth noting is that I've never seen Marlon making a 3 am sweep before Joja is thrown out of town, which definitely makes it seem like he's got something to hide. He manages to hide it from Joja and the villagers, but the farmer gets found in a few too many spots for him to keep it from them.

Wouldn't surprise me if Qi is the one to anonymously drop the farmer off at Harvey's clinic, considering how he's monitoring the valley from the walnut room.

Joja could be a case of them having too many people sneaking around and doing things that might not be entirely legal, as might be evidenced by Fizz. But they think it is legal because their boss says so. Sneaking around on the farm is okay to them, because the farmer has never been in the position to trespass them, and it's not like we can call the police.

I have yet to have my spouse finding me at the mines. They might've got one of those "waking up fully at finding the other half of the bed empty" at some point during the night, and I guess the farmer might've told their spouse their plans for the day, even if their dialogue is rarely seen. They're also up a while before the farmer...

Linus... I think some stuff might be easiest to find at night, not to mention that it's a good time to rummage through trashcans without getting caught. I'd not be surprised if his sleep time is 10 pm to 2 am. If the farmer manages on the 4 hours of sleep between 2-6 am, he might also need just 4 hours. Old people tend to need less sleep, allowing him to be completely refreshed by his 4 hours while the farmer might need a bit more depending on how exhausted they were.
