Crash-landed on Alternia, you scramble for friendships with any trolls who approach. Hiveswap Friendsim Volume Seventeen delivers a visual novel adventure packed with moody teens, muscular types, heartwarming talks, laughs, and quirky time quirks. This penultimate episode offers that knowing nod amid the calm before the end.
Players guide an unnamed protagonist through quick choices to survive and connect on Alternia's harsh surface. Set during Hiveswap Act 1, the episodic format builds on loose canon from Homestuck's creator. Homestuck and Hiveswap fans find a casual simulation of Alternian life here.
Penultimate. The second to last. The not-quite-final. The calm before the storm.
Here at the beginning of the end, teens both moody and muscular await you. More heartwarming candor, more laughs, more weird time nonsense, and more memes that were outdated the second our pens left the paper.
To many, the thought of running out of Friendsim content is a sad and scary thing. To some, it may be a sweet relief. But to all, we extend our hand in understanding. We give you one of those nods. You know the kind. The caring sitcom dad kind.
Go make some friends, sport.
