Course of Temptation September Update (v0.7.1)
🕑 Added 2025-09-07 18:43:41 +0000 UTC
Hello friends! The September update is here, which mostly focuses on extending the Greek life system, and also adds a new game and hobby shop.
Greek house upgrades: You can now build renown for your house through various means, and gaining renown will unlock upgrades that unlock special rooms, let you better see to your needs, and help you earn more money.
Greek events extended: Many events have been added around campus to add to the Greek flavor, including many opportunity events, like ones that invite you to help your fellow pledges during pledge week. Several pledge tasks have been converted into repeatable events that you can do again after joining a house, and most of these contribute to house renown.
Game and hobby shop: A new hangout and shop favored by nerdy NPCs. This is the new home for comics, manga, figurines, imported snacks, and stuff like that. You can also play an entire trading card game here.
If you're not aware, we're maintaining two parallel development cycles:
The monthly update might contain new event sets, new locations, or new mechanics, but usually focuses on extending existing content or polishing existing systems. It comes out once a month with whatever we got done in that time period... hence the name!
The roadmap update checks off one or more items on the roadmap, adding extensive new mechanics and a bunch of related new events in one go, often fundamentally changing how the game can be played. It usually takes multiple months.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy!
Release notes
Further extended the Greek life system
You can now upgrade your house in various ways, some unique, to add benefits to being a member of a house, particularly if you’re living there
Some upgrades will convert a spare room to a gym, study, or meditation room, or add a garden, depending on the house
Each house’s top level upgrade helps you with income: the mainstream houses (Alpha and Delta) can choose between sports sponsorships and better pay in standard jobs, while Sigma and Zeta can choose between more pay with streaming or with creative side gigs
Upgrade points are gained through building house renown
You can build renown by excelling in sports or academic pursuits, or simply by doing things that get your house noticed… for better or worse
Added a slider under Storyline Options that affects the rate of renown gain
Many pledge tasks are now presented as repeatable opportunities you can do after joining a house, and most of these will help build renown
Among the tasks is a new one: the underwear raid. Be a lookout, lockpicker, or runner, and gain house renown by succeeding in a raid on a rival house
Various events have been added around campus to increase the Greek flavor
During rush week, you will now be approached individually by representatives of houses you’re eligible for, to ensure that the player knows rush week is happening and to show some of the character of each house
Added some possible new, more personal stakes to the Greek house racing game
Added some opportunity events that have you helping fellow pledges
Added Planet X, a game and hobby shop favored by nerd types, and made it a possible nightlife location (contributed by Meat Glacier)
Added a bunch of new comics and manga (with contributions from Meat Glacier, HeartsDmise, Starlight, and Hee Ho)
Added some new imported snacks for Planet X (with contributions from Meat Glacier and HeartsDmise)
Various existing manga, figurines, and so on have been relocated to Planet X
Added a whole trading card game, where you can battle NPCs, trade cards with them, buy booster packs, and other card-related things (contributed by noonycurt)
Added a new inclination for those who enjoy splattering their partners with their affection
Moved the bike rack to Prescott Road for player characters that have a Greek room
Added the very versatile electric kettle to the range of available appliances
The Greek house kitchen now assumes all cooking appliances are present
Implemented alternate location images for the Greek house bathrooms, so the image can switch depending on whether you’re using the stalls or the showers (contributed by HeartsDmise)
Added laundry room location images for the Greek houses (contributed by HeartsDmise)
Loosened the restrictions on walking around within the Greek house when you live there, so you can simply go naked if you have the required Exhibitionism level
Added an event set for walking around in the Greek house, like there is in Chicory Hall
Revised name lists and altered NPC name generation algorithm (contributed by HeartsDmise)
Added legacy name generation worldgen option for those who prefer to see old familiar names in their favorite seeds
Added the Riverside Municipal Center on Ginseng Street, which provides a way for the PC to change their name (contributed by Meat Glacier)
Added ways to address some low needs while streaming
Added a bit of an alternate path to the E-girl collab storyline. This is not a huge restructuring, but can give the events a friendlier vibe and allow you to get the storyline’s reward without also rewarding the 360 No-scoper character.
Various fixes and tweaks

Thank you as always for your hard work and dedication. The new Greek party stuff sounds great. Also very thankful for the ability to change your name as well.

A couple Questions: 1)Will pregnancy be added next? 2)Will it be possible to volunteer to live at one of the greek houses as like, a pet, if you are the opposite gender? So, you could have all the perks, but you would basically also be a free use toy?
