About This Game

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.
