shouldn't you start time from when it says Day 1 and not when you click new game since the beginning cutscene isn't skippable?

it is very short and you do have to click a few times to progress through it so I'd rather keep timing that way

for the sake of simplicity I think it is in general better to start the timer on the first input, when game starts, unless there's a good reason not to (for example if the intro was a several minute long cutscene then i would agree with you)

ahhh okay okay!!! that makes sense
