Please tell me when you create more than one character, can you see both walking around at once? Can they interact? or are the others always sleeping while one is active?
Unless the gate is open. For a while, I actually forgot that other characters will sleep in their beds because I don't normally go into their attics (unless I had visitors over). So this one time, I had people over and I was in another character's attic when I ended the party. It surprised me when the screen faded back in from black...I wasn't expecting to see a person in the bed all of a sudden!
