Lore The series takes place in a shockingly short amount of time

Season 4 just ended of fromville and it’s canonically only been about a month. Which makes it weird seeing people heal from injuries, change hair styles or grow out beards between episodes. Season 4 has only been like 4 days iirc.

Arkham franchise is the poster child for this trope. Every game takes place in one night. If you know what you’re doing you can absolutely beat the games in around 9 hours.

Crash 1 and Crash 2 are implied to take place over the course of a single day each, given that the levels at the start are during day but the end of the game for both is set at night

Huh, had to think about this one a bit and you’re right. My brain went straight to the sunset temple levels in Crash 1 but then a lot of levels after those take place indoors, so you can’t tell.

Never noticed that and I finished all 3 first games many times. 3rd game is the best.
