The game lets you fuck up a lot while still being able to beat it, but it also expects you to get the worst ending basically by default because of how much it limits your ability to save the game. Unlike in 1, there's a hard time limit, and every time you sleep you advance time up the the 3rd night. You can also fuck yourself by advancing to night 3 too early, though it is still technically beatable if you know what to do, as the game's hardest difficulty, masochism mode, starts immediately on night 3. Sleeping is what lets you save the game and upgrade your character. Each rest advances the day cycle by 1 time zone, beginning with morning, then evening, then night. So Day 1 starts at morning, progresses to evening, then to night, then to Day 2 morning, etc., so you really only have 8 "guaranteed" saves. Any other saves have to waste ritual circles on the god of fear and hunger, which is a noob trap, or by purchasing books of enlightenment from Pocket Cat, which is also a noob trap most of the time, or getting lucky with a BoE drop from a bookshelf.
