Stuck with no place to sleep at

[NordicWildheart]

I am stuck at 02:10 on Day 2 with nowhere to sleep. I do not have the money to pay for the room. What to do?

[Du-Vu]

Have you been in the apartments? There's like 10 real worth of change in there. More in the area through the back door of the book store and if you have any tare to turn in but you won't be able to do that now. Might want to reload to an earlier save if you still can. You could sell stuff to the pawn shop. Start with postcards, try not to sell anything that might be evidence or otherwise useful later (tapes, data disks, pens) unless you have to.

open the container in front of Evart's place, make a good sales pitch. Done

Screw this game! Found a place to sleep (the trash container on the backyard) but that ended my game, with a note from the developers that basically said "go **** yourself". Will never buy another game from this company, that I can promise you.

You can't blame the game if you're bad at it. The game tells you right at the start of the day that you need money and there are several opportunities to get it. By the end of the second day I never suffered for want of money in the game again.

This is just like any game, in that if you play poorly, you will die. The mechanical demands are a little different from more combat-focused games but the danger of death is the same if you fail to overcome obstacles.

Dude, one could literally sleep anywhere. It makes no sense that you have to sleep at a certain place. Poor game mechanics.

if you found the yellow bag you can collect empty bottles and sell them in Frittle next to the hotel. Or if you have already be able to cross the bridge to the fisherman area, talk to old lady there and she ll give you a room to sleep for free.. Or simply manace people.. some actually gives you money.:)

Actuallu I found such situation weird. There were many talks about Hobocop in first day, and now I've found there is no option where to move on second day.

How is that? Actually I've found game has very limited sources of money.

Bottles give you 10 cents, for a night you will need 20 bucks so... it's 200 bottles.

It's a roleplay game - what if I don't want to beg?

[Du-Vu]

You can make it through the whole game without begging or taking bribes. Though given how broken-down and broke you are I think you could RP a justification if you had to.

The first night you'll almost certainly need to sell Kim's spinners or take the money Joyce offers. But seriously. The pawn shop. The apartments. The backroom of the bookshop. I don't keep saying these things for no reason. Press Tab to highlight containers or change on the ground, pick up everything you can, sell your postcards at the pawn shop, supplement it with the 3-4 real you get for picking up bottles if you have to, and you'll hit 20 real easily. There's 5-10 real each in both the apartments and the abandoned commercial area, depending on your skills.

Indirect Modes of Taxation helps when you need money, and think like a moneymaker and like to say 'hustle' a lot.
also you can get it on first day with some planning.

If player could know what to expect then there would no problem at all.

Learn to play the game and this wouldn't be an issue.
