WHAT'S IN IT

STORY MODE: SAVE THE WAREHOUSE
An open W Cary St with a record store, a shoe and skate shop, a thrift store, a Lube Shack job and a bus stop. 11 people to befriend, each with a 3-chapter backstory, a 90-entry lore codex, ✦ spots to examine all over town, and the lost FLOODWALL tape. Then Act 2: take Halvorsen to the city council, and a grand reopening where Boots shows up.

MAKE YOUR KID
Guy, girl or nonbinary, one of three fits (Pit Kid, Street Punk, Thrift Kid), skin tone and hair color. Buy more clothes in town.

A 3-NIGHT TOUR
The Warehouse in Richmond, VA, Rhizome DC (with COLO from Woodbridge, VA), and the Ottobar in Baltimore (with IN JEST from Philly), where the Tough Guy is waiting.

SIX CLIQUES
Hardcore, Youth Crew, Crust, Oi!, Punk and Old School, each with its own special move.

REAL SONGS
Fast parts, breakdowns and slow parts you can see coming. Hit the beat to build your combo.

JOBS
Work security, roadie your way up to band practice, then join the band. Wreck their gear and you're out.

YOUR FIT, YOUR LIFE
Buy boots, flannels, battle vests and band tees, and cut your own hair. Walk home, sleep in your room, practice in the garage, and pay rent to Mom. Turn on the WORKING STIFF DLC for shifts at the Lube Shack.
