Where can i sleep?

[Rabble]

Couldn't pay back the clerk so he cut my access to the room.
Is there somewhere i can actually sleep?

You can get it down as far as 30, just the drinks, depending on your skills and how you talk to Garte. I think I got that by asking him about what money was, instead of telling him he was under arrest, and I didn't slip away quietly/book it out of the hostel.

i'm stuck in day one 2:00. I've payed Garte at 8:00 but my room is still locked, the kim's briefing over the balcony doesn't trigger. i played for 16 hours, doing everything you can do in day one(i think) but i'm stuck, why that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ door is still closed, i want my money back ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

An older Savegame does not help when you are stuck on day one - cause you can mess up on the first day, so that you have no chance to earn the neccessary money on the second day. So you play the whole second day without knowing that you are already in a game over state. That is bad game design.

Just another locked gamestate here,
1. Paid for day 1 with white pine ladies money
2. Didn't accept any of Claire's money
3. Sent Kim back with the body so it's just me
4. Sold everything I can and picked up trash but I'm still only at 18.50 real
5. I don't even get the option for sleeping in the trash can
6. Might be missing some things cos my mc only has 2 perception
6. Guess it's gameover, don't want to save scum to roll 12 on the door

Really unfun way to go set me back hours of my first playthrough

Are you holding Tab and looting containers?

I am genuinely confused by the take here. I see it as a sudden difficulty spike, because the first day of night is softlocking you - as I just experienced it. So I had to google about it. Maybe I forgot something little, stupid? I eventually landed on this thread.

I have to agree with some people. For the first day, if you don't haggle, you have to pay 130 real to be able to sleep? Damn, 130 real? I understand that there's damages you have to cover but it should be not "immediately". Have that bartender write a contract with you. Or something else? Even if you collect all that bottles and whatnot, you cannot get that number. I then discovered that you have two options, that you have to beg for money at the lady on the boat in the harbor OR have Kim rescue you by selling his goods. This last option is even a limited one, within a small time window. You really need this knowledge beforehand. A game is supposed to be played blindly, without former knowledge and learning from it.

So instead of having multiple options* at your disposal, you're basically forced into a fixed path; haggle the price if the bartender tells you have to pay -> get money from that harbor lady OR have Kim aid you by selling his goods -> ensure to get enough real for day two -> from day three onwards, you can use the free bed at that fishing lady so that you don't have worry about that

there are multiple options such as
(I got these info from this thread)
1- sleeping as a true miserable man and in a trash can. This should not be "game over" but lead to a negative impact for one day
2- sleeping on a bench. Similarly as with 1, you can give some negative points for a day here
3- if you get Cuno at your side, you can use his shack
(just imagination)
4- have a lover and use their accommodations
5-figuring out your residential place?
6-further renting in hostel(s)?
(seriously ... I still need to discover this game)
7-...I.still.need.to.get.past.day.one...

I basically have to relaunch from an earlier autosave to get it through three days. That goes against what the store page has depicted.

Anyways, I am going to retry with this knowledge and ignore that for the rest of the game...

Simple Question: How much actual freedom or choice do you have

I seen a video where the guy rolls and kills a kid. Yes he got the option to do this but then it said "game over"

Like umm can that happen a lot in this game? I would like to just continue on with my bad decisions ala Walking Dead lol.

When Garte asked me to pay up I made a run for it and told him to go and f**k himself. I failed the check and collided with the pinball machine and passed out. Garte felt bad for me when I came to and waved half the cost. I thanked him for his cooperation.

Pinball machine? More like a wheelchair

Hasn't anyone of you spoken to Evrart? He gives you a 25$ cheque. Take it.

For the first night, sell Kim's stuff that he himself offers at the pawnshop.
Second night, use the money Evrart gives you.
On Wednesday, go and meet the old lady who can be found washing clothes to the southwest of Whirling after you open up the bridge. She gives you a place to stay for free, which should settle the matter once and for all.

And also pick up the plastic bag near the bookshop and use it to grab bottles and tare strewn all over the city. You can sell these at the Fritte.
There is just no need to edit any files and give yourself extra money.

that requires you pass a skillcheck against measure head, and in my first playthrough i was an Intellect ♥♥♥♥, and i was not down with racism at the time, so yeah, it had a lucky check, but otherwise it's savescum-only

To anyone having trouble paying Garte for the hotel room


First, there is no other place to sleep in Martinaise Proper than the Whirling. You can not sleep on the bench or in Cuno’s shack. You might find a place later, on the coast, but not on day 1 or 2. For now, paying for a night in the Whirling is the only way.
Here are some ways to earn money.
1. Go to Roy in the Pawn Shop and sell him some of your quest items.
2. Keep exploring and looking into containers. They often include money.
3. Joyce (on the pier) can give you money. You need to pass a Volition white check for this.
4. There is a locked container in the harbour that needs a Rhetoric check. I won’t spoil it further but there’s a chance to get money involved.
5. If it’s before 23.00, you can equip the yellow tare bag, collect tare and sell it in Fritte.
6. If it’s before 22.00, you can also pass a check with Siileng and ask for money.
7. If it’s 02.00 and everyone has gone to sleep, the streets are empty and you can’t do any -- or enough, at least, to pay Garte -- then congratulations: you are the hobocop now
The only way to get out of this jam is to load a save from earlier. At minimum before 02.00 -- when you can still sell Roy some of your stuff. And if you’re really straped for cash -- before 23.00 when Fritte is still open.
In general, around 19.00 – 22.00 is a good time to start worrying about making rent.

Game is 6 years old now, this soft lock still in game, are you ok there? Final cut?
