I wonder if the concept of Day/Night might just simply refer to the new playable cards after the Buy phase. What I mean is that the normal Action/Buy phase is considered the Day, while those cards with the new type Night, can be played post-buy (while everyone should be sleeping?).
It might also be interesting for the Night cards to check everyone's hand (including the unplayed ones left in your hand) for Boon and Hex cards which would help or harm respectively. For instance, you play your Night card and you reveal your hand. It has a Boon which allows you to draw 3 cards and buy another card with any money you might have. The next opponent reveals their hand and reveals a Hex. They must take a Curse and discard 1 card.
Something like revealing what is normally hidden (other player's hands) and rewarding/punishing what is there seems like a fun new mechanic that works well with the theme.
