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

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.

Pawn items.

Well, I am stuck at harbour (jumped there at around 22:00 to collect the raincoat). I cannot go anywhere -- it's 1 in the night, and I cannot even get back to the hotel -- even if I had the money (which I don't -- but that's another story). I can speak to Leo, and that's it.
The situation is ridiculous -- if sleeping is so important, and if we can only sleep in the hotel, and only at that time -- then tell it to us in a big red letters, and make it the only task we can do to begin with. Or give us ability to sleep anywhere else -- like I would've done in real life. Otherwise you are giving us freedom of choice, and the "real" time -- all like in life, but when it comes to sleep -- it must be that bed only.
And yeah -- how do I get out of harbour at night?
I'm not sure if its some later update but I just tested it and you can't be stuck in the harbor now. If Evrart is not in the office the first time you get in, you can find a union card forgotten at the table if you check the coffee dispenser.

I think they did an update, you are no longer stuck after 2:00. So I thought I would have to go back, but if you start the conversation with the "not" bartender Gerte and you have not yet the hubcaps Lt Kusanagi will jump in and offer them to you. The Pawnshop is also open. Also Joyce is on her boat too, so if you pass the check you can get money there too.

I was original a bit panicked to do all the dialogue again, but it is not necessary. I just went to bed on day one. Finally.

Yeah... Okay. Lame.

Pretty jarring and tasteless to provide an option to sleep in the trashcan, only to have it make you lose the game because "it games and breaks the system." So after all of the deep socio-economic ♥♥♥♥♥ you put me through thus far you go and say that being homeless is "gaming the system"? What the ♥♥♥♥ are you guys on...

Irritating as all get out. Patch this ♥♥♥♥ out or fix it so you can stay awake all night or sleep in the trashcan, or pass out where you stand after a time or... something. Make it unhealthy. Duh. Anything except this half-arsed ♥♥♥♥♥. This game is 40 bucks. Just fix it. Patch it. No big deal. We already paid you to do that.

I wouldn't be so ticked if this particularly glaring problem that my fellows enthusiats have apparently been on you about for almost a full year hadn't drained all of the blood out of the massive boner I haven't been able to get rid of since I started playing this game two days ago... Killed my vibe, man. Just let me sleep in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trashcan. Shouldn't ruin any of your weird David Lynch dream sequences.

This is the commie uprising right here you union ♥♥♥♥♥. WE WANT TO SLEEP IN THE TRASHCAN. TRASHCAN. TRASHCAN. LET ME DISGRACE MYSELF. LET ME SLEEP IN FILTH.

This is unbelievably frustrating

Dehumanizing isn't it? Almost like it was intentional.
robustyoungsoul Sep 19, 2020 @ 8:20pm 
Intentionally stupid
robustyoungsoul Sep 19, 2020 @ 8:21pm 
Good game other than this though. I hacked my save file and finished. Whatever this was supposed to be a metaphor though flew right over my head I don’t mind saying.

I felt lame for googling this issue, but now I'm glad I did, before wasting even more time running around the map feeling stupid... Guess I'll have to edit the save game... This is really disappointing.

Stuck on Day 2 too. This design issue is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid piece of ♥♥♥♥.
Why I can say Kim to leave me alone at night and sleep on bench? Or in his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ car?

And this is a game with talking psycho tie, alco-hobo-art-cop, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MILES of genious text and authors ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up this little detail like SLEEP? I can't believe that I need to play again few hours or cheat.

Can anyone confirm this known softlock has been fixed in the Final Cut version?

I myself can say that i tested it and it worked with no problems.
Oh and for other who seem to have lack of money buy the end of day 1. There is a woman called Joyce Messier. She's on her boat at the docks. To get to her, go west from the hotel, west again from the bookstore, north along the road, then northwest past the apartment building. And if u get some skill checks right with her she can give you 100 reáls.

You really shouldn't have to do this though. The game is supposed to give you choices, allow you to form your own character, and yet you have to beg for money from the evil witch? It would have been a much more meaningful message to allow you to be stubborn and refuse all help (like many homeless people do in our society).
I still haven't gotten past this part, because I ran into that lovely bug in Fritte where you couldn't get paid for a certain item in your inventory. So I just kept waiting for the fix, as I got the bugged item rather early in my game and didn't feel like starting over and utterly ignoring this seemingly-important plot piece.
