When I say daily events, I don't mean daily things breaking into your base or causing destruction around, events can also be small things like a flashlight being outside with a journal of a random person that walked near Romeo and disappeared, or random noises being played at night that make you jittery, Make the computer glitch out a tiny bit.
Just to get you interested in what's to come for the late stage's of the game, I disagree that it would get stale. In fact it would get super interesting for someone that doesn't know what to expect from this game.
This event stuff would greatly improve player exploration and curiosity to want to find out just what the hell is going on in this place
And the reason why I said passing time if you read what I typed is because on the late stage's you've already seen and explored most of the world so you're just waiting for big events to happen, Of course in the early game you wouldn't pass time because you need to get money for food, in the late stage's food doesn't matter anymore.
