It was tough being an NPC in the old days. They could only stand in one place or endlessly walk the same path repeating the same bit of dialogue over and over again. Obviously, this isn't very realistic, so game developers have begun to give NPCs scripted events causing them to appear at different locations depending on what time of day it is according to the In-Universe Game Clock. NPC schedules, alongside adaptable AI, is one of the hallmarks of the Immersive Sim genre. |

The Gregory Horror Show PS2 game implemented schedules for every guest as a major mechanic, as you had to observe them going about their day to know where they would be at any time. This was important because as you went though the game, each guest would become hostile after you got their lost soul, meaning that they'd chase you. You didn't want to end up being chased by 5+ guests at once. | |

When visiting Tony the arms dealer's shop in Jagged Alliance 2, his assistant will sometimes inform you that "Tony stepped out for a bit," and is thus unavailable to do business. Both his absences and the times of his return are unpredictable. Father John Walker also has a limited schedule - he can't be found during the night, but during the day, he can be found at his church or at the bar. |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: While important main story characters, shopkeepers, and innkeepers are awake and in the same spots 24/7 as Anti-Frustration Features, most other characters have sleep and work schedules based on the time of day. Usually, Link only has to worry about this if trying to accept/complete quests with characters who are asleep (only a few will wake up when talked to), but one mystery quest in Kakariko Village involves investigating the schedules of several individuals who are suspected of being spies for the Yiga Clan. | |

Dark Cloud - There doesn't seem to be any set schedule, but aside from the shopkeeper all of the NPCs will wander about the town. You'll also get slightly different rewards from some of the residents at different times of day. | |

Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times is a bit like a hybrid of Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon's scheduling—the characters do wander somewhat randomly (like they do in Animal Crossing), but, like Harvest Moon, they have specific places where they're likely to be at certain times of the day. One character, for example, might practice magic at the ruins most afternoons, but spend most evenings by the beach. Humorously, this was then copied back by Animal Crossing: New Leaf, in that the characters now drop by The Roost for a cup of coffee or visit certain shops or the museum at certain times of the day. |

The residents of Stardew Valley too have their own schedules, which can be a pain when one wishes to build relationships with them if their schedules are particularly unpredictable and finicky, or shop from them only to find that they've taken the day off. To say nothing of rainy days and those who spend said days entirely in their room, and such rooms require at least two hearts worth of affinity to enter. | |

Shenmue was one of the earliest 3D examples of this. Every character, no matter how ancillary to the story, has their own special routine for each day. The sequel downplays it in the sense that named characters still have a routine, but nameless "filler" characters no longer do, and many of the same pedestrians can be spotted both in Wan Chai and in Kowloon. | |

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Oblivion introduced "Radiant AI", a formalized system for NPC behavior. While seemingly just a marketing gimmick that didn't live up to the hype, its true value is understood by PC modders who also implement NPCs; it formalizes NPC behavior configuration where previously in Morrowind it involved a kludge of the scripting system. Similarly, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's "Radiant Story" system formalizes and expands the system that was previously a huge monster of a script system that governed random encounters in Fallout 3. In fact (unless they're given an infinitely respawning item of food in their inventory) NPCs who don't eat regularly will starve and it's possible to assassinate an NPC by planting poisoned food. Oblivion and its successors notably take this a step further than most games by not limiting scheduled events to a 24-hour period; characters will close up shop on weekends, then get up later and go to church; have a formal dinner with the count once a week, or go to stay with their cousin in another city at the end of the month. All these behaviors also apply to Skyrim, which is built on a more advanced version of the same engine. Morrowind had NPCs stand around in one place at all times (or, occasionally, wander in a fixed area) but a third party mod did create rudimentary NPC scheduling within cities. |

In Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, just about every NPC follows a daily schedule, with some even having unique schedules for certain days of the (in-game) week. Most of them aren't obvious until the game itself tells you about them, and they aren't recorded for you in-game, so if you want to memorize them, you'll have to write them down yourself. Interacting with characters (or just being there when they do something interesting) at a certain time is one of the main ways of earning Love (the game's equivalent of experience). The developers of moon would go on to include this in several other games they worked on, most notably Chulip, which features a similar gameplay loop but with a very different premise. |

Pokémon Gold and Silver (and Crystal) have lots of NPCs that only make appearance on certain days of the week or time of the day. There's even a set of 7 gift-giving NPCs that each appears only one day of the week. Pokémon Black and White has the stadiums in Nimbasa town open and close at varying times across the day to prepare for and hold sporting matches, NPCs that only show up on the weekends or weekdays, Swarming Pokemon that change each day, and the changing seasons of the world (which change at the end of each month of real time), which will cause certain NPCs and areas to become available or be made unavailable depending on the season and the weather. Certain Pokemon are only catchable in the Winter, while a man who trades (the only) Munchlax in the game shows up in the summer, as well as a cameo appearance from Cynthia occurring then. |

Beyond Good & Evil has, oddly, NPC scheduling for the children on the Lighthouse island. They do different things based on the plot, that change as the story progresses. It isn't really useful for anything, though, and is probably a What Could Have Been remnant. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - Every NPC moves about the city according to a schedule; and you even get a handy dandy scheduler that shows you when a particular quest is active. More importantly, if you choose to do Anju and Kafei's subquest, then she'll stay in town to wait for Kafei instead of going to Romani Ranch. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: While important main story characters, shopkeepers, and innkeepers are awake and in the same spots 24/7 as Anti-Frustration Features, most other characters have sleep and work schedules based on the time of day.

Final Fantasy XI dabbled in this; in Lower Jeuno, there were a series of streetlights that needed to be lit every night, and if no player started the quest to do it, an NPC would spawn and walk down the street lighting the lamps. There were also shops that would be closed on certain days of the week and be restocked at particular times—although for some reason, they'd still hang around at their shop counter to tell you the shop was closed. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles 1 takes it to quite some levels. Every named NPC has a different schedule, and all non-named NPCs have at least a selected time of the day when they're active. And to top it off the game has loads of NPCs, and many of them either give a quest, or are involved in one somehow. Needless to say, this makes keeping track of where that one NPC is going to be when rather hard. Thankfully, one can turn the in-game clock to whatever time they want whenever they want, so if you're in a hurry to meet an NPC with an odd schedule, it's easy. | |

Minecraft's villagers, if allowed to move around freely, go to their homes to sleep every evening or, if homeless, wander around looking for an unoccupied bed.

The Hitman series relies on this trope. Most, if not all, of the characters in a given level will move about as time progresses; figuring out when and where is the best time to strike without being caught is how one earns the Silent Assassin rating. Some of the earlier games' missions (as well as a few of the Elusive Targets in later games) added to this difficulty by having the targets enter and leave the map on a schedule, giving you much less time to perform the hit and make your getaway. As the games got more complex, by the time Hitman: Absolution rolled around, the developers added the "Instinct" ability to track guard routines, but realised quite quickly how tricky the game would be without it, so it was implemented into the game proper. Considering Hitman (2016) and later has upward of 400+ NPC's in a level, this proved to be a very wise decision to make. | |
