allowed to quit if you choose.
Info Screen

Every action you take in the game requires a certain amount of time. If
you visit someone, you have to drive there, fight traffic etc.... When you
talk to someone, idle pleasantries are exchanged, things happen, time
passes. This screen will let you know what time it is in the game. You
have until 16:30 hours (4:30 in civilian time) to solve the game and
contact the D.A.
