Accursed Lands has systems like the ones talked about in the first post. The time of day has a great effect on how far a character can see in the wilderness and what they can do. For instance, moving doesn't require any light at all (pitch blackness conceals all, including room descriptions), but if you want to read, you've got to be in a reasonably well lit room. It can also deal with species that aren't accustomed to light, up to seeing normally lit rooms (to more standard species) as being nearly blindingly bright.

So, in the respect that there's sunlight during the day, but not during the night, yes, time matters quite a bit. The descriptions of nearly all rooms are dynamic (based on time) as well.
