is this just a random chance to find Alcove or do I need to rest at a specific time in order to find it?
Finding the Alcove in the first place happens by resting in the garden 3 times. After you have found the Alcove, who you meet there depends on the time of day (you can see their schedules in the journal as you find out more)

The game is made in such a way that you pretty much almost never need to save/load and can continue playing regardless of what happens. You do need to die to get information and progress the story, so having only the quicksave is also there to prevent people from getting stuck on constantly loading and trying to get through something that they can't get through on a first attempt.
unfortunately for me, I also need the patreon to save because I have just finished my first game (yes, I say finished because I made the mistake of saving during the night shift when I no longer had life stone on the bracelet so I was forced to die from the wolf at the mansion each time because I had not bought the item that protects me from him (if there is one) therefore forced to die and die. resume save at the time of service, again...)

In the meantime, I managed to get to ACT 2 in 21 deaths (yes I had difficulty) and the story is just a masterclass. The only fault is that if we forget what we did during the previous days, we are quickly lost on the actions to do to pass a new phase. I really wasted a lot of time understanding where I was going despite my progress because we can repeat the same actions over and over again without it telling us that they won't be of any use. I'm not trying to criticize the game because I find it incredible. I just had a hard time understanding where I was going because I didn't know which actions were useful and which weren't.

Can someone answer me please what the first schedule point and time of Ionut is?
I have discovered everything from Chapter 1 except that one single thing and it is kinda bothering me.
I'm starting to assume it just doesn't update properly, but I'm not sure.

After eating with Mihai, you have to go into the kitchen to help him do the dishes.

I've found a bug in 0.5.11 with one of the bad ends, specifically

I've attached 2 saves, just before and just after the bug.

Edit: Editing my save in the browser using dev tools (F12) and reloading the save seems to have fixed it as a workaround, setting the "bracelet" value to 1 instead of 0.

Okay I thought so, cause there was nothing else that early before the other time of his.
So then there is a bug to report, that the letters/times of his first schedule point don't update after being or doing anything in the kitchen.
Thank you!

The cursed heads seem to be broken in some way, or else I seriously misunderstand how the quest is supposed to work. I got them and can immediately remove them but they still do the scene where they harass me in the garden. The Damned, desecrated, defiled quest is telling me I'm supposed to examine them in my bedroom but I am unable to do that either. Is there some step that I need to take in order to kick that section off?

Edit: I got it to work I think by dying with them equipped and then trying to remove them the morning after. A bit tricky to replicate.
Having the same issue, I cannot beat the challenges in the crypt even after talking to Sabrina and Felicity. The heads can be removed in the morning but the garden event with the heads still happens and makes other challenges harder no matter what.

I want to murder something.

So I'm trying my damndest to remove the talking heads with the portal crypt. For me, logically, my thinking is have a high sanity (100) in this case, and my lust being around 5-10 or so (low as hell). Try to get rid of them? I fail. Quick save back, try again, going a different route slightly? Fail again.

What amalgamation of bullshit is this??

Hey,
This doesn't sound right, can you tell me which check you're failing specifically? I'm looking into this since some people are reporting issues. 100 sanity should for sure pass you the check, and 10 lust also sounds more than enough?

Since I'm seeing people getting stuck on this, you can use the Cheats for this version to test quickly/adjust stats, hopefully it helps. The key is "I will gamble with the devil". Do let me know more details, or poke on the official Discord.

The exact values there are a formula based on several factors, so it's not a fixed number.

I have failed both checks repeatedly, either due to the talking heads (which were 'off' at the time) triggering in the Garden. 1 time though I did manage to pass the lust challenge but ended up failing the mental one.

Enjoying this game - it's the first of this type I have played, so I am trying to figure out: are there requirements to following Ionut down to the basement that I'm not meeting yet, or does the "follow him to the basement" option just not lead you to anything different at the moment? I feel like I've done every combo of steps leading to that spot, so maybe it's some level I don't have yet, but....if that's the case it would be nice if there were a hint instead of just selecting "follow" and getting Alex saying "I think Mihai will need me back at reception"...or maybe I'm being particularly dumb and not seeing it. :)

Seems like the latest update 5.12 broke a few image links for me. (For example images in chapter 1 when breaking into the tower of the hotel). The direct image links are leading to a 404 error.
