In typical Homestuck fashion, instead of continuing with one perspective, we switch to a different character. In the world of Alternia houses are called hives, hence the title Hiveswap. We don’t know much about Dammek other than the fact that he’s from Alternia, wears cool sunglasses and is a pretty rude guy. While Joey is being transported to Alternia, she passes another troll on her way named Dammek. She travels through and ends up landing in the land of Alternia, home of the troll species. Things get weirder and weirder as more monsters start to break into the house, fighting them off every time you encounter them because who wouldn’t try to fight a strange, slimy worm thing.Įventually, Joey takes cover from the monsters in her attic where she finds, activates and falls into a mysterious portal. After shuffling around Joey’s room and retrieving a certain key, you’re free to explore the rest of her gigantic house. Our protagonist is Joey Claire, a fourteen year old girl who loves puzzles, is a semi-orphan, dancer of many schools and an aspiring veterinarian trust me, these things become important later. Upon reaching her room and deeming yourself safe enough from the monster, you are formally introduced to Joey. The game starts with a monster attack that forces her and her younger brother to take cover inside. Hiveswap is a role-playing adventure game that focuses around a human girl named Joey and the troll species. The comment section of his first Hiveswap video is a fun one, and I’d definitely recommend going and reading through it. In 2017, popular Youtube producer Jacksepticeye played through the entirety of Hiveswap Act 1 despite never having read the comics. What Pumpkin Games released Act 2 much later in 2020.Ī big surprise for Homestuck fans was not only the game itself, but a certain play-through of it.
Luckily, that wish came true when What Pumpkin Games released Hiveswap Act 1 for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and Linux on Sept. I always have a visceral reaction when I hear the word “Hiveswap.” Back in middle school, when I was really deep into Homestuck, I was praying for the day when we got some sort of game related to the comic.
