Just to add some more steam to this issue...
I got stuck at some point but didn't notice until I tried to cook food and noticed it never completed. So I thought they just patched it to make it longer to add more realism? So I slept for a night and sure enough my tasty aphids were done. Went on my way and noticed I haven't been seeing wolf spiders, went to cook and nothing finished again. Just hit me time must not be progressing. So I looked at sure I got stuck at 6AM when I woke up. You can't sleep again because it doesn't let you until night..so thats not a fix.
~ Before that something odd happened. I went back to the starting hole you spawn in. The screen went black and had the skip option on the bottom like a cutscene. My character said her same lines as you did when you first leave the tunnel. I would venture to say THAT is when my time stopped.
Since then I haven't been able to progress, this is before even finding the explosion at the tree. But I have explored every possible place on the map, even beyond..at the Hedge I managed to hop the wall and get over before I was meant to, discovering some kinda lab and tons of spiders. Also found the berry tree and "larva corner". Even managed to get on the bird bath! All of this was after I realized time stopped so breaking boundary was not the cause.
