According to a press release, the main attractions of 13th Floor Jacksonville include:

• The Nightwalkers: As global temperatures rose, an ancient virus called Necrotherma Virulenta (NTV-1), hidden in the thawing Antarctic, emerged and turned humans into ravenous zombies. The virus thrived in the warmer climate, spreading rapidly and mutating aggressively. Cities fell into chaos while survivors fought for survival behind barricades. Led by an epidemiologist, a small group ventures into the heart of the infection, searching for a way to stop Necrotherma Virulenta and save humanity.

• Curse of the Lycans: Legends of the North tell of forgotten creatures from the world of fable that lurk in the shadows of ancient winds. When the Blood Moon rises, the Order of Beasts don animal totem masks and hunt villagers. Shapeshifting wendigos, werewolves, and evil spirits appear, their eyes gleaming with hunger. A lucky few, whose sacrifices please the Elders, gain a lycanthropic transformation, turning the fight for survival into a desperate battle against the supernatural, with only courage and cunning as weapons.

• Midnight Craft: The Midnight Coven gathered on a moonless night under the leadership of the sorceress Selene. They sought to seize Baron Crow’s immense powers, using ancient spells and forbidden rituals to control him and his dominion over souls. As their magic grew stronger, fear spread throughout the city. Baron Crow, now a puppet of the Coven, watched helplessly as New Orleans fell under their evil rule.

• Clown Alley: Boomer, the evil clown, ruled the Red Pumpkin Pale Carnival, a twisted nightmare of unspeakable horrors. Driven from all towns, the carnival was set up in a small, unsuspecting village as Halloween approached. Behind the garish circus tent lay a dark secret – a portal to a nightmarish realm that requires souls to keep the carnival alive and grant its inhabitants eternal life. This Halloween, the carnival cast a shadow of fear, turning festive dreams into nightmares as Boomer and his crew searched for fresh souls to satisfy their unearthly hunger.
