AfterParty: Dorm Room Disaster
Wilmington
You’ve woken up by the campus fountain after the Es Ka Pi party, and your dorm is absolutely trashed. Snacks everywhere, drinks spilled, and… is that a horse mask?! Your RA just texted: Parents Weekend starts in an hour. Clean it up before expulsion does.
Tattoo Trials: Rising Ranks
Wilmington
You’ve scored an apprenticeship at the world-renowned Hidden Needle Tattoo Parlor under the legendary — and wildly eccentric — Arthur “Gator” Miller. Keep up, prove your skills, and survive his chaotic apprenticeship. Rise through the ranks and earn your spot.
Outage: No Vacancy
Wilmington
You’ve been hired to fix up the long-abandoned Venture Inn before its grand reopening — easy money, until a violent storm plunges the motel into total darkness. With power failed and eerie creaks echoing the halls, restore the lights before the storm traps you inside.
