Part One of the MSPA Reader Saga.
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.
Fresh from your recent close encounters and near misses, you continue on your involuntary Alternian vacation. Two new trolls arrive on the scene and your burning thirst for companionship hasn’t waned
Indulge in some sweet home rustic hospitality as you traverse the Alternian countryside, where the only things as numerous as the friends to be encountered are the dangers to be combatted. Which makes—two. Two whole dangers. Go ahead. Jump in. You got this.
Navigate peaks and valleys, bathrooms and back rooms, busy streets and natural landscape, all to get another helping of that sweet FRIENDSHIP pie. The friendship is the filling. The crust is more friendship.
