After a few stokes you should get the option to sleep. Make sure you're not letting the fire burn for a long time inbetween stokes.
Thank you, this time the sleep button came, however once people appeared, again I was stuck in an endless loop of stoking fire and gathering wood with nothing happening for minutes.
"The Clearing" should have appeared in the top.A few people have missed it, it's something I'm going to alter in the remake.
