About HIVESWAP: ACT 1
✦ AI summary
Explore strange hand-animated homes, solve puzzles, and uncover mysteries across multiple playable characters in this love letter to '90s adventure games that ditches the frustration with clever, responsive design. The first chapter of an interconnected four-part series set in the Homestuck universe, featuring a stellar soundtrack and gorgeous 2D animation that makes every room brim with secrets.
Monsters in the yard. Monsters in the house. Monsters in the hall, beating on your door. Your brother's trapped in his treehouse, so he’s not gonna be much help. You're going to have to get yourself out of this. But where did they come from? How are you supposed to deal with this? Well, certainly not by cowering in your room. That's for, uh, cowards.
First things first. You need to open the door.
A LOVE LETTER TO '90s ADVENTURE GAMES
...without the accompanying frustration. As fun and well-paced as you generously remember them being. No dream-logic solutions, no hearing the same “those items don’t work together” message over and over. HIVESWAP has unique responses for everything you can try. Spend hours trying everything on everything, if you want to -- but not because you have to. Learn about the characters by exploring their homes! But like, in a good way! No audio logs split up and scattered around -- GUARANTEED.
HAND-ANIMATED IN TWO DIMENSIONS
Strange homes to explore, every room brimming with secrets. The world of HIVESWAP is beautiful and alive, from its hyper-detailed environments to its gorgeous fully-rendered animations. Come take a look!
MUSIC TO MAKE YOU WEEP
An eclectic, ambitious, genre-spanning soundtrack, featuring contributions from Undertale’s Toby Fox and, regrettably, at least one third-wave ska song. Also featuring at least one pseudo-revolutionary garage rock duo, with regrets of their own.
WORLDS TO SEE, TEENS TO BE
Play as JOEY CLAIRE, EXTRAORDINAIRE, a teen trapped in her room *and* in 1994. Play as JUDE HARLEY, BIZARRELY, her kid brother, trapped in his treehouse. Play as XEFROS TRITOH, ALIEN REBEL, wait. Aliens?
JUST GETTING STARTED
HIVESWAP: ACT 1 is the first of a four-part series set in Andrew Hussie’s Homestuck universe, with a companion game, Hauntswitch, to follow. Continue your save from chapter to chapter, then from game to game, to carry your story, choices, friendships and frenemies across them all--then do it again! Once released, HIVESWAP and Hauntswitch will be playable in either order. Haven’t read Homestuck? That’s fine! This game is set in 1994! Homestuck hasn’t even been invented yet!
And then...
the adventure continues in ACT 2.

i wanna makeout with terezi but nobody will see this3 found this helpful
Though its weird and random, 9 years later and the cutscenes still wont load.2 found this helpful
you cant fight the homestuck1 found this helpful
will the power of my 6.7 hour playtime make act 3 come faster
I thought it was okay, Joey feels like the only really interesting character to me so far. Going through the motions of checking every card/action interaction in every screen is not the most fun, and could have been better if the associated narration didn't frequently treat the player as stupid. I know the solution to the "puzzle", I'm just messing around. The game should know this.
Everyone should 8e required to read and play Homestuck.
