Ever wish golden hour would just stay put? Time Bender puts the day and night cycle in your hands.

No more sailing in circles waiting for the light you wanted to come back around. Want longer, dreamier days or quick day-to-night flickers? The Seconds Per Hour slider sets how long each in-game hour lasts, so you can stretch a sunset into a long, relaxed voyage or race ahead to morning. One thing to know: while time is frozen, your spirits and their daily routines pause along with the clock, so the whole island holds its breath until you let it go.

How do I jump to a specific time of day with Time Bender?
Time Bender uses two controls together to jump to an exact hour in Spiritfarer. First, set the Time of Day slider to the hour you want, on a scale from midnight at 0, through noon at 12, back to midnight at 24. Then tap the Jump to Time of Day action, and the sky snaps straight to that hour. No more sailing in circles waiting for the light you wanted to come back around. You can repeat this any time to chase a sunrise, catch golden hour, or bring on a starry night on demand, adjusting the slider and tapping again whenever you want a different moment in the sky.
What does the Seconds Per Hour slider do in Time Bender?
The Seconds Per Hour slider in Time Bender sets how many real seconds each in-game Spiritfarer hour lasts, and the game's normal pace is 60. Lower the value for quick day-to-night changes, so the sun races across the sky and you flick between light and dark fast. Raise it for long, relaxed days that stretch a single afternoon or a sunset into a leisurely voyage. This gives you fine control over the whole rhythm of a day rather than just its starting point, so you can pair a slow, dreamy pace with a scenic sail, or speed the clock up when you would rather not wait for morning.
What happens to my spirits when I freeze time in Spiritfarer?
While Freeze Time is on in Time Bender, your Spiritfarer boat's spirits and their daily routines pause along with the clock, so the whole island effectively holds its breath until you let it go. This is worth knowing because a frozen world means spirits will not carry on their schedules or move through time-based moments while the sky is locked. It is a deliberate part of how freezing works, not a glitch. When you want life to resume, simply turn Freeze Time off and the clock, your spirits, and their routines all pick back up. That makes freezing best for framing a view or a quiet pause rather than for waiting out timed events.
Can I hold a sunset or get a starry night on demand with Time Bender?
Yes, that is exactly what Time Bender is made for. To hold a sunset in Spiritfarer, set the Time of Day slider to that golden hour, tap Jump to Time of Day, then flip on Freeze Time to lock the sky right there for as long as you like. Want a starry night instead? Slide to a late hour, jump to it, and freeze. You can also stretch a sunset naturally by raising the Seconds Per Hour slider so the light lingers without fully freezing. Between jumping, freezing, and slowing the clock, Time Bender lets you set the exact mood and lighting you want, whenever you want it.
