HIVESWAP: ACT 2 is the highly anticipated second entry in the four-part series of narrative adventure games from the universe of Andrew Hussie's Homestuck. Hiveswap has something for you, whether you're a dedicated fan or just now discovering the fandom phenomenon.
THE DREAM OF THE 90'S IS ALIVE ON ALTERNIA
The artistry and humor of the golden age of adventure games meet hand-drawn 2D animation in this love letter to the point-and-click classics. Bizarre, beautifully illustrated alien landscapes and colorful characters make Alternia a joy to explore.
... BUT THE STAKES ARE HIGHER THAN EVER
ACT 2 brings your journey to a whole new level. Can you safely guide our naive protagonist through a world of murder, intrigue and villainous clowns? These aren’t the slapstick puzzles Joey grew up with – on Alternia, everything is a matter of life or death!
AN UNFORGETTABLE SOUNDTRACK
James Roach and Toby Fox (creator of Undertale) return for another genre-spanning original soundtrack. Bombastic orchestral arrangements and eclectic tracks score your adventure across this strange alien planet.
ALL YOUR FAVORITE FRIENDS AND ENEMIES
Meet and talk to dozens of iconic characters from the alien race of trolls, who range from friendly to murderous. Make friends, solve their problems, and do your best to not get eaten! Your choices will decide the fate of your world and theirs.
A CONTINUOUS STORY
HIVESWAP: ACT 2 is the second of a four-part series set in Andrew Hussie’s Homestuck universe. If you import your save from ACT 1, the game will remember all your choices – and might even unlock hidden secrets. The adventure will continue on in ACT 3.
FUZZY ON ACT 1? NEVER READ HOMESTUCK?
No problem! Our in-game recap will bring you back up to speed on everything that you need to know to jump right into ACT 2 with a fresh save. No prior knowledge of Homestuck is required to fall into this immersive alien world. But you can still find and play ACT 1 on Steam as well!

10/10 would get tricked by clowns again
Gostei bastante mas achei o primeiro jogo melhor, esse é bem mais linear e meio chato em algumas partes. De qualquer jeito tô ansioso para o ato 3 :)
игра АХУИТЕЛЬНАЯ 12 взрывов поезда/10
it keeps crashing for no reason (literally no reason at all), if you dont like games that constantly crash dont get this :(
ABSOLOOTLY AMAZING GAME 10/5 STARS YAY ONE BILLION PERCENT WORTH EVERY PENNY
This ♥♥♥♥ is fire, hyped for act 3
Big improvement from the first game. Couple more branching paths and minigames. The dialogues between Joey and Xefros are fun too. Many reviews complained about the ace attorney stuff, and it did go on for a long time while feeling a bit too difficult sometimes. But it was still a nice change of pace from the typical format, could be better though. There was a lot less flavor text though when using items on the environment, which is a mixed bag. At least the flavor text feels more special and less overwhelming, but now environments feel more empty, but I guess that's the tradeoff for having more npcs. The huge discounts make it definitely worth a shot if you're interested
Pretty great game!!! The end made me sad
