Abstract
To provide a game device capable of preventing a player wishing to progress through a game from feeling frustrated, while ensuring that excitement of a game that progresses based on an actual date, an actual day of the week, and/or an actual time is not deteriorated. When a game starts, a setting unit (84) sets a game day of the week and/or a game time, based on the actual day of the week and/or time. An update unit (86) advances the game day of the week and/or time, based on an operation carried out by a player. A game control unit (88) controls progress of the game, based on the actual date and the game day of the week and/or time.
