Dear students, parents, and people who clicked the wrong link,
Welcome to Westbridge University, where since 1887 we have turned promising young minds into people who know exactly how cold a beer should be. Our freshmen arrive with a bed, a mini fridge, a pen and some supermarket beer. They leave with a network, a reputation and, occasionally, a degree.
Go Wolves!
— Dean Harold P. Buttersworth III (currently “resting”)
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Westbridge University is not a real university. It is the campus of THE FRATERNITY, a first-person co-op game for 2 players, built in Unity 6 and currently in development. You start as a nerd doing favours and climb all the way to Campus Legend. Please stop sending us your transcripts. » Join the waitlist
| Date | Announcement |
|---|---|
| Your phone now knows who drinks what. NEW! The contacts network on your ORBIA shows which drinks each resident likes. Remembering their birthdays is still not supported. | |
| Night deliveries to rooms now pay 1.5×. Campus Safety reminds residents that “I’m just going to bed” has never once worked. | |
| Residents now taste your beer straight from your hand. The Health Center asks students to stop accepting open bottles from strangers. Nobody listens. | |
| Housing reminds Olmo Hall that whatever lives in the vegetable drawer of fridge #3 has been granted tenure. Do not open it. Do not feed it. | |
| The fountain in the Quad is NOT a urinal. This is the fourth reminder this week. You know who you are, Kevin. |
Every course below is a real system in the game. The credits are not real. Nothing here is accredited.
| Code | Course | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ACAD 204 | Homework for Hire | Accept jobs on Gram, pick up the folder from your locker, solve it at your desk and hand it back in person. $5–10 per sheet. Academic integrity sold separately. |
| FERM 210 | Applied Fermentation & Taste Testing | Residents drink straight from your hand and judge. “…I’ll call you” means an order. “…I didn’t like it” means drink it yourself. |
| ARTS 115 | Label Design for Questionable Demijohns | Draw a logo with the mouse, cut it out with scissors, tape it on. Unlabelled demijohns fail automatically. |
| SOCI 150 | Networking (Social, Not Computers) | You start knowing exactly one person: Ethan Brooks. Earn trust, get introduced, meet all of Olmo Hall and Patio Hall opens. |
| MOBL 101 | Running a Business from Your Phone | The ORBIA OB-24 has eight apps. Gram is one feed shared by every player, where residents post, like and order. |
| ECON 300 | Gambling Economics | Six-seat No-Limit Hold’em at the Aurel Casino. Tuition refunds not available. |
| HLTH 101 | Itemised Healthcare | Westbridge General Hospital patches you up and bills you line by line. Ice pack: $54. Dignity: not covered. |
Each rank unlocks new stock in the campus shops. Everyone can see where you stand.
| Rank | Title | Requirements |

| I | NERD | Owns a pen. Has never been invited to anything. Will sell you homework. |
| II | PLEDGE | Model Student and Popularity at level 3, five homework jobs, five alcohol sales. Unlocks liquor and the $1,800 mixer. |
| III | FRAT STAR | [REDACTED BY THE DEAN] |
| IV | CAMPUS LEGEND | [REDACTED BY LEGAL] |
Two (2) guards and one (1) CCTV post protect the residence from fun. They search, confiscate and escort you out of the building.
If a guard asks “Delivering something, are we?”, do not panic. Do not run. Do not say “just going to bed.” They know.
Confiscated beer is “destroyed.” The guards have seemed very happy lately.
The residents of Olmo Hall and Patio Hall. Earn their trust and they’ll introduce you to their friends. Lose it and the whole hall finds out.
The Fraternity is made by an independent team of two in Spain. Office hours: never.
