I have long maintained that obligations are the death of fun and the origin of resentment. The phrasing you're using is cause for concern, I think: You're worried about being chewed out for playing something else, so you stay in offline mode or just don't sign in? That's unsettling behavior to have to avoid, and I think a pretty strong indication that this relationship isn't quite on the up-and-up.
Different time zones can be stressful to work around, but if you're being guilted into giving more than you possibly can (or even just want to!) then it's time to step back and seriously weigh how much your internet pretendy time is impacting your real life behavior and mood and feelings.
