24-Hour Games | Games that take place over a day

Games that take place over a single day. Short term stories.

Rules:
- The timeframe of the game has to have some significance: Otherwise, this list would be packed with arcade games tbh
- The main game needs to take place entirely within one day. DLC and Expansion content is excluded. Prologue chapters can be outside the one day limit, but like... Within reason.
