While I expected as much, I didn't expect 0.8.1 to start looping sooner than 0.8.0 did. It feels a little weird to look at my older save file sitting at day 52.
I imagine it was to reduce the amount of days in the story mode that aren't currently being used by events, seemed a bit weird to me for there to be about an extra in-game week of nothing after the "last" story event of the update.
