I don't think a daycycle is necessary. The timeline implies Abe made his way through both Paramonia and Scrabania throughout the day and made his way back to the Free Fire Zone by nightfall. The light schemes in the levels were already pretty self-explanatory. However, I did feel the lighting in Scrabania was meant to be either a sunset or sunrise.

I think the addition of a setting sun at some point before Abe gets his hand scars would be a nice touch, and bring it all full circle.
Perhaps the sun set whilst he was in the temples? Thus, he was in Paramonia during the day, the Paramonian temple during the night, and back to Monsaic Lines by morning. Then on to Scrabania for a similar cycle.

Although it's then somewhat confusing that he would return to Monsaic Lines in the morning but return to the stockyards by nightfall. Perhaps it's best to assume that both Paramonia and Scrabania happen in one day, with the scar-giving happening indoors.
