SCUM - Halloween update 0.7.510.54633

[h3]Good evening everyone, are you ready for Spooktober? Well we are! If you are not already shitting your pants every night on the SCUM island, let us enhance the atmosphere![/h3]







Happy Halloween! As is tradition we have some special new features for you all to find on the island!

[h2]Blood moon! [/h2]

There is a new phenomenon on the SCUM island. A legend says some of the prisoners created a cult and excecuted some sort of a ritual. Anyway they turned the moon red. And with it some strange phenomenon started occurring on the island.





[h2]Catacombs [/h2]

Hey you? Yes you! Do you like old adventure movies? Grew up watching Indiana Jones or the Mummy? Well if you feel adventurous in any way there is a surprise waiting for you at the old haunted house. I will not say any more not to destroy the sense of wonder.



[h2]Extra emotes [/h2]

Let's be honest here, the biggest aspect of Halloween is dressing up and getting to do some shenanigans. Now you can already dress up in the game but it is time to advance the level of shenanigans. We are adding new thematic emotes, for free!



There are more surprises waiting for you on the island, but why spoil the surprise.



Hey there sisters. You ready for fall fashion week? You're not? Don't worry we got you covered. Prison renowned stylist and hairdresser prodigy Emanuel has arrived and set up shop on SCUM island.



He has style, he has grace, he will put makeup on your face. But beware Emanuel has set up shop for females only. So you macho men will have to wait your turn (will be available when the men get their rework love). As for the ladies, hope you are ready to get serviced by one of the best, for the premium price of course. Once you can afford the service and decide it is treat yourself day you will be taken to the Hairdresser screen where you can change the style of your character with however you like to express yourself.





We have a new item dropping in. Which one you axe? Well I am so glad you axed. Meet Traynors axe!
