I have the badge for Day 1 and 2. So that part of it is fine. But yesterday was aurora wolves, which I thought I completed the day for.

Yeah, I definitely played today. And I could see the "Day Complete" symbol yesterday and today. So I don't know what's going on anymore.

And Day Complete has to change the save file, because even on a new file the 4DON quest is marked Day Complete. I'm puzzled.

That was so much fun! This was my first 4DON challenge and I really enjoyed it. Got both badges, a pumpkin pie, and all but one cache. I think I saw that PV would have 3 but I only found two. I went through all 4 regions and spent most of my time outside, even during the blizzard. I just get too bored staying inside for too long. LoL  But I have to say, exploration was nicely rewarded! Thanks to everyone at Hinterland for giving us this fun challenge!

Grats, friend!

I haven't gotten the second badge yet, and now I'm genuinely confused. Did I miss a day or something? I don't think so, I literally held out for +4 hours on Day 1 and 2, then beat the clock for Day 3. What's going on?

Worked as planned.
Boooring, real-time connection isn't the best idea, better to set more ingame goals.
Anyway, the concept and art is nice, thanks devs!

It wasn't the worst idea, but the problem is that a goal based on real hours heavily discourages activity and doing things in game. It's more of a Hibernation Simulator, assuming you got a lot of things done on Day 1.

But I'm not complaining. Day 2 was more than exciting enough for me, and I like the idea of Day 3 being a perpetual reminder that you are NOT as badass as you think you are. Excellent reminder for a survivalist mindset. Lovely event, I hope the Hinterland team continues to celebrate great content with its community.

I'll be standing around doing nothing unfortunately since I have no protection (weapons).

Last year I found a rifle and lots of bullets. But not enough power to take down five aurora wolves in a chain attack without a light nearby. That was the end of my 2018 run, because I didn't know you could continue with a new life.

This year, I found no caches and had to make my own bow (only two arrows, one of which was lost in a wolf). But I got enough pelts for a jacket and lots of very warm clothes. Looks like I'll make it all the way to the end this time. Can't wait to see how it goes.

RPG players who don't hoard trivial loot like jealous dragons? I envy you somewhat.

You could always give us a 2% knife, just to tease how punishing scarcity is.
