Crash-landed on Alternia, you scramble for friendships with any trolls who approach in this visual novel adventure. Hiveswap Friendsim Volume Eleven drops you into a hostile alien world where you befriend 23 trolls across eleven volumes while navigating cultural quirks. The episodic format keeps things quick and loose on canon, set during Hiveswap: Act 1.
You survive the surface by making choices that build connections amid the harsh environment. Written by Homestuck creator Andrew Hussie, it delivers a darker take on Alternian life through casual simulation and RPG elements. Homestuck and Hiveswap fans get their fix of troll interactions in this PC-ready installment.
Volume 11? Of Hiveswap Friendsim? Eleven volumes, 23 trolls, and you’re still alive, still in an approximation of fighting form, and still kicking it in this hostile alien environment. Hell, you’re barely even an outsider anymore. You know the games, you know the memes, you got this. We can’t even come up with something absolutely ridiculous in this synopsis because you’re on to us—you know what we look like when we’re on our bullshit. So here’s this very normal and totally unremarkable game synopsis that isn’t even really a synopsis anymore.
Volume 11: There’s some trolls. Impenetrable cultural jargon. You make friends. Whatever.
