Tides of Numenera - Nychthemeron at night (some spoilers within)

[The Nameless One]

Hi, noob here.

So, I was not aware that you could break the clock in Circus Minor which in turn would make it go from daytime to nighttime, allowing the 3rd pathway to be accessed in the "Beleazar and the Beast" quest where you can talk to the Nychthemeron at night.

That being said, my question is this:

Is there any way to change it to nighttime not by in-game means (which there are none)?
Like, is there somewhere within the "game's files" that could be altered to force the area into its nighttime version to be able to talk to the Nychthemeron, and then revert the change back into its normal, daytime state?

Thanks in advance ... and thanks [to the community] for existing. I only thoroughly enjoy games on the first play-through, so it would have been a major letdown for me if it wasn't for contributions from you guys.
