Crash-landed on Alternia, you face a harsh landscape and scramble to befriend two approaching trolls. Hiveswap Friendsim Volume Four delivers a visual novel adventure through busy streets, natural terrain, bathrooms, and back rooms. Navigate these spots with visuals, music, and text to build connections and claim your share of friendship.
This episodic entry, set during Hiveswap: Act 1 and penned by Homestuck creator Andrew Hussie, follows your survival efforts on Alternia's surface. The casual simulation and RPG elements keep sessions quick and loosely canonical. Homestuck and Hiveswap fans get a darker take on Alternian life through targeted friend-making.
Burned and lightly battered, this serial befriender is still truckin’ along. In a stunning departure from the rest of the oeuvre, Vol. 4 of Hiveswap Friendsim uses visuals, music and text to tell a story where you meet two trolls and try to make friends with them. 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.
