Time is the time of day within the Super Store. It functions the same as the real world, with night and day.
However, there is a distinct lack of seasons, and all days are the same length, with sunrise beginning at exactly 6 AM and sunset beginning at exactly 9 PM, leaving 8 hours of nighttime and 16 hours of daytime.
The current time of day can be accessed through the player character's watch.
Night is the time of day when enemies emerge and when most NPCs become stationary at their spawn point.
Schedules follow time.
The watch is a visual mechanic that the player character can utilize to tell the current time.
