after finding more of these houses I realized I was the idiot for not seeing that the "1st story" was really just the adjacent room. Sorry for subjecting you to my stupidity!
You can keep clicking "sleep" on a bed and populate more and more boxes instead of a new box appearing at last cursor position like in many games. When you do click on one of the many boxes they are still present when you wake up.
I don't understand it because the house is one story from the outside. But once you go in that room it all of a sudden has you on the second floor? If its intended to be that way then my bad it just doesnt make much sense
I know it isn't a second story, if you stand outside the home that brown room is level with the pavement not on the second floor like it would have you believe.
