About Hiveswap Friendsim

Welcome to Hiveswap Friendsim, a darkly comedic episodic visual novel set in the Homestuck/Hiveswap universe, created by American author and artist Andrew Hussie.

You’ve crash landed on a dangerous alien planet with no food, medicine, or prospects, but you do know one thing—you are absolutely desperate for friendship.

Travel from grimy underground clubs to stately mansions, meeting trolls up and down the hemospectrum along the way.

Hiveswap Friendsim is a quick, loosely-canonical visual novel adventure following the efforts of the unnamed protagonist (that’s you!) to survive and maybe even thrive on the harsh surface of ALTERNIA.

Set in the time of Hiveswap: Act 1 and featuring characters from Hiveswap: Act 2, this episodic visual novel, is sure to satisfy Homestuck and Hiveswap fans who are eager for a darker stroll across the Alternian landscape.

You heard us! Purchasing Hiveswap Friendsim unlocks all 18 volumes of the visual novel adventure.

Despite the mixed art style and writing I absolutely adore friendsim. It perfectly captures that feeling of going out at night and trying to make friends in an often hostile world. Idk if I can recommend it to nonhomestucks but I adore this game.

i regret buying ts. do NOT buy this game if you dont want to: 1. feel dirty 2. rip your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eyes out and make them bleed 3. blow your brains out and MOST OF ALL 4. be dissapointed with your favorite characters if I hadn't bought this as a bundle and had played it in the first two weeks of purchase, I would have happily returned all my money. this game isn't worth any of your cash.

Despite having a deeply inconsistent art style and a lot of the routes being admittedly boring, there were enough good ones to make me enjoy the experience as a whole. Pretty much all of the technical aspects of it are jank, and there are some issues that really dont make sense to be in a paid release, but the content itself is good.
