Oakland = Castlevania II

So I was thinking.  Oakland is kind of like Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.  During the day, you just go about your business, and there are people out an about to interact with.  They usually don't say anything worth listening to, but you have the option to talk to them if you so choose.  There are also zombies and other monsters as well, but being that it's the day, they are easy to dispatch of.  Ignore them, jump over them, throw a stake/coins at them, etc.  When nighttime comes however, it's a different story.  All the townsfolk go away, and until the sun rises, you have to deal with the super zombies and werewolves and whatnot.  In Oakland, these creatures tend to take the form of prostitutes, drug dealers, and muggers.  They take a lot more effort to avoid and/or dispatch of during the times of darkness.  What a horrible night to have a curse, indeed.
