Course of Temptation "Sigma Epsilon Chi" Update Early Access (v0.7)
🕑 Added 2025-07-31 21:00:13 +0000 UTC
Greetings, friends! I am here bearing early access to 0.7, the Greek life update.
This update adds four Greek houses, a new more exclusive weekly party, new party games and activities, a pledging process including numerous pledge tasks your character can pursue, and an initiation ceremony.
This one has been a lot of work! And there's still more I'd like to do, including:
More pledge tasks! In particular, I want to add a couple heist-like tasks, ones that also involve the people pledging alongside you.
Continued fleshing out and new variations to the party events and games.
Unlockable benefits for being a member of a house.
House merch.
Seasonal social events for the houses.
More stuff that builds Troublemaking skill.
Location images for the house interiors — HeartsDmise is currently working hard on these.
Besides bugfixing, I'll be aiming to work on this stuff along the way to public release, and it'll probably also continue to be the main focus of the September update (though we'll surely get some other stuff in there as well).
As always, the best place to report bugs is on the Discord, where it's easy to attach your save, but if you don't want to use Discord, reporting them to me through this platform is also fine. As big as this update is, you can expect to slam into some bugs, and it's quite likely I'll be putting out a couple quick updates as we head into the weekend to smooth out the experience, so keep an eye out.
That said, a good amount of playtesting happened, so a special thanks to StealthyLewds, noonycurt, Hee Ho, and FastKoolUnwind, who encountered many bugs so that you don't have to.
And a special thanks to you as well! Without your support, this project would not be possible. Please find your early access link below the release notes!
Release notes
Added Greek life and Greek houses to the game
Prescott Road is now home to two fraternities and two sororities. Or if you prefer gender-neutral Greek houses, you can set this as an option in world generation options
In a new save, rush week will begin late in the first month, where the houses will introduce themselves and open themselves up to be visited (in an ongoing save, this will occur the next Friday if you’re already past this point)
You can speak to a house’s rush chair during rush week to express your interest in pledging to the house
Once accepted as a prospective member, you will be given the goal of earning points through completing a number of pledge tasks, ranging from tame tasks like serenading somebody at the quad party… to, well, the far less tame
Upon earning enough points, you will be invited to an initiation ceremony where you will become a full member of the house
Each house trades off on party hosting duties, and will host a party every Thursday night
You’ll be invited to the weekly Greek party once you’ve pledged to or joined a house, or if you don’t want to participate in Greek life, then aim for party popularity at the weekly Friday quad party
Like the quad party, the Greek party involves mingling, socializing, hooking up, and various random events
Each Greek party will feature one main activity: beer pong, strip poker, trivia, the oral contest, a racing video game, or pussy roulette (strip poker contributed by noonycurt)
Greek party games each involve unique events and mechanics, and participating in them generally helps your pledge progress
After joining a Greek house, you can talk to the president or rush chair about living there, in return for an increase in your weekly payments
Added the Troublemaking secondary skill to properly represent things like getting past locked doors and successfully annoying people
Some events that previously used the Dominance skill have been changed to use Troublemaking instead, where it seemed more fitting
Added a new skillbook to learn Troublemaking (contributed by Meat Glacier)
Unified the UI of the section of the prologue where you pick your starting skills
Consolidated the time of day, weather, and temperature indicators into single images (original art contributed by HeartsDmise)
Revised Boho style, added Country style, and added a bunch of new clothing items (contributed by Hee Ho)
Special world seeds have gained some new mechanics, and you can now specify the odds each seed you’re using will apply its effects — read the world seed help in the game for details (contributed by StealthyLewds)
A bunch of fixing and optimizing (contributed by StealthyLewds)
Many fixes and tweaks

I haven't been able to get any NSFW events at Greek parties to happen, am I missing something? I've seen every event (beer pong, poker, trivia) several times each but they're never NSFW, they're just normal games?

When entering my allied greek house members party (frat): Your coworker and friend Collin Graham is standing at the front door. He smiles at you. "Hey Isabella." She step aside to let you pass.

What are the conditions for the oral contest and pussy roulette party games? I’ve only ever had the other 4 proc

Thanks, this will be fixed in the next update.

When doing free use at the frat party, there are no options to do to the partner. It only has "do nothing", ""end" or "dirty talk"

Did we loose the Watersports options?

Oops, there was a bug that could make it not fire on the correct day in an ongoing save, meaning it'd be bypassed entirely. I've added some code to fix this and give it a second chance to fire correctly for the next update. Sorry about that!

Rush week isn't triggering for me. On a previous save and im three weeks in after the new update.
