About

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.

its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
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.
SO silly, its such a blast to play because I never know whats going to happen. the soundtrack is also so lovely
Everyone knows zebruh is the best one in the whole game!

good game
absolutely fire, lanque is my favorite hes great
The dialogs are smart, sometimes a bit cringe, but always funny. There are several routes to follow with unpredictable outcomes. And I mean really unpredictable. It's entertaining, but I don't think it's for everyone.
do i recommend? yes. do i recommend just following a guide and skipping all dialogue you find cringe? also yes. but if you're fine with it all, then don't skip. some parts were just... ugh. anyways time for pesterquest my favorite themes: M O I S T and ⢀⣀⡤⣸⡇⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⠴⣾⣿⣿⡟⣿⠏⡏⣴⣿⣿⣿⢏⣾⣿⣿⣧⢻⣿⣿⠆⣠ ⡀ ⣠⣶⣿⣿⢳⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣶⣭⣻⢿⢯⣞⡝⣿⣿⣫⢃⣛⣵⣾⣿ ⢀⣾ ⣰⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣯⣷⣾⢸⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡏⠁⣿⣿⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣼⣿ ⣼⣿⣿⣿⡟⣼⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡴⠿⢟⣛⣭⣭⣭⣭⣝⣀ ⢠⣿⣿⡀ ⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⢱⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡿⣫⣾⣿⣿⡿⣻⣵⣶⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀ ⢸⣿⣿⡇ ⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣧⠹⣫⣾⣿⣿⣿⣫⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆ ⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⢿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡻⣿⢧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡎⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⣡⣾⣿⣿⡜⣿⣿⣿⣇ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣵⣟⣼⣿⣟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢁⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣼⣎⢿⠿⢋⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡹⣿⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢻⣿⣿⣿⣟⣑⣚⢍⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣙⠻⣿⣿⣿⢧⣿⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢇⣿⠟⣀⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣜⠿⡟ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡘⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡙⠣⣿⣿⣧⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠜⡡⠞⠛⠃⠙⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠿⣫⠇ ⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣷⢜⣫⣽⢞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠟⠵⠷⢬⡙⢿⡜⣿⢹⣿⣿⢏⣴⠊⣠⠶⠿⢷⣦⣄⠈⢙⣛⡛⣃⣐⣶⣾⠏ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣔⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠂⣠⡤⠴⠦⢤⣙⣿⣧⠛⣼⠟⣡⣾⣿⣾⣿⡗ ⠹⣿⣆⠈⣙⡇⣿⣿⡿⠋ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢉⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠃⢠⣾⣿⡷ ⠻⣿⣿⣴⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠉ ⢻⣿⡆⢿⣇⠛⠉ ⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣲⣶⣾⠿⢀⣿⣿⠙⠁ ⡀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠰⣄⣀⣠⡇⢸⣿⣧⢺⣿⡄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣷⠠⣄⡀⢀⣰⡇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡙⠿⠿⣡⣿⢿⣿⡏⣿⣷⡀ ⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⣽⢸⣿⣿⣧⠘⣿⣿⣆⠙⠿⠿⢟⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⢲⢮⡿⣽⣷⣿⣿⣷ ⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢿⣿⣿⡏⣾⣯⡍⣿⣿⣿⡼⣯⣟⣛⣻⢶⢼⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣫⣏⣾⢳⢳⢇⣿⣿⡿⡇ ⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⢿⣿⡇⣿⡿⡇⢻⣿⣿⣷⣝⠳⠷⢯⢏⣟⣾⡏⣙⣛⢛⣋⣥⣶⣶⣦⣄⡀⠐⠆⣿⣿⣿⣟⣫⢾⣿⣿⡇⠃ ⡸⠋⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢿⣿⡜⠋⢀⡌⣿⣿⣿⣮⡩⢾⣯⣾⣿⣿⡇⣧⣣⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⣿⣿⠟⠁ ⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣽⣿⠃ ⣾⣿⡘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡮⣹⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢱⣿⣿⣿⣋⠚⣩⡵⣸ ⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⢦⣇ ⣿⣿⣿⣤⠓⠈⢽⣭⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⡘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣡⣿⣿⡿⢛⡁⠘⢛⣱⡇ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡱⢿⣿⣦⡘⠿⠿⢟⣱⣶⣤⣽⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣙⠻⠿⠿⠟⣋⣡⣾⠿⢛⣥⣶⣿⣧⡀ ⠛ ⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⣻⣿⣿⡏⠛⠿⡟⣫⠁⠸⢭⣝⣛⣛⣛⠿⡟⠛⢋⣭⣥⣶⣾⡟⠛⠋⢉⣁ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⣛⠓⠉⠛⠇⣀⣤⠶⢎⠠⠇ ⣀⠈⢉⡉⠉⢀⡀⠰ ⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡎⡳⠂ ⣠⡾⣫⣶⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⣉⣀⣈⣁⣀⣠⣤⣾⣶⣦⣄⡀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⠋⡱⠁ ⡰⡟⠑⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡦
