Crash-land on Alternia and scramble for friendships with approaching trolls in this final volume of the Hiveswap Friendsim series. The visual novel adventure tracks your survival attempts on the planet's harsh surface, set during Hiveswap: Act 1. Players make choices to befriend new chums amid risky encounters.
This episodic indie RPG delivers quick sessions of casual simulation and adventure gameplay. Homestuck and Hiveswap fans find a darker take on Alternian life through loosely canonical stories penned by series creator Andrew Hussie. Replay value comes from branching paths with two or three fresh trolls to meet.
It’s finally here: the last volume of Hiveswap Friendsim. We’ve had a long, memorable journey together, haven’t we? Around now is typically when we’d play a slideshow highlighting all your best moments, but we aren’t Facebook. We don’t feed off of personal information, just your tears. Your sweet, sweet tears. So instead we’ll invite you to take a second and visualize within your mind’s eye snapshots of you being cradled close to the bosom of a massive murder clown. Or how about accidentally killing a guy with your ass? Good times.
What will you do now, without a new volume to play every alternating Friday? Perhaps this is a good opportunity to check out that “outside” we’ve heard so much about. Or to take up a new hobby, like stamp collecting.
But before you embark on your new, Friendsim-less life, we’ve still got two (three?) more new chums for you to pal up with. What better time to party like it’s the end of the line? Or enjoy some, uhh, other non-specific yet quality entertainments that definitely aren’t dangerous at all?
Maybe the real friends were the injuries we accrued along the way.
