About Hiveswap: Act 2
Hiveswap: Act 2 is a narrative adventure game and the second entry in a four-part series set in the Homestuck universe. You continue Joey and Xefros’s story on Alternia, a dangerous alien planet, guiding Joey through a volatile culture of murder, intrigue and villainous clowns. There is a train to catch, and the puzzles carry life-or-death stakes.
Explore Alternia
You explore bizarre, hand-drawn alien landscapes brought to life with 2D animation. Along the way, you meet and talk to dozens of trolls, whose attitudes range from friendly to murderous. You can make friends and solve their problems, while trying not to get eaten. Your choices affect the fate of your world and theirs.
Story and choices
Act 2 continues the story across a four-part series. Importing a save from Act 1 carries your choices into the game and may unlock hidden secrets. If you start with a fresh save, an in-game recap covers the background needed to begin Act 2; prior knowledge of Homestuck is not required. The adventure continues in Act 3.
Music
James Roach and Toby Fox composed an original soundtrack featuring orchestral arrangements and eclectic tracks for the journey across Alternia.
