Storyline
The Porcellian Club: established in 1791, it is Harvard’s all-male, exclusive society where only carefully selected members know of the depravity within.
You are Owen Shaw, a budding journalist trying to make it big in the Harvard Crimson newspaper. As the newest member of the P.C, you could be on the cusp of a big scoop.
Undercover, you must sneak behind the curtain to break the Porcellian’s iron grip on Harvard.
