Troll society is so fucking stupid I love it sorry I can't help it I love these little gray fucks the homestuck parasite is forever lodged into my brain.

improved some of the clunkiness of the first game and offered a really cool setting and story. cant wait for what they do next :3

j'ai jamais fini, pck again c'est compliqué d'avoir tt les succès donc bon

We waited so long for this.
The Homestuck universe is still charming for me in some ways and this had some fun and cool segments but go fuck yourself Hussie

Not gonna ape on it too much, it just would have been way better received if HS had a normal release schedule

god i love this game so fkn much. i actually ending up loving it more than act 1!!! yes its true that parts of the gameplay were kind of slow and annoying jade/teal car smh but i didn't find that to be a big deal bc i was enjoying meeting all the diff trolls and milking as much content as i could.

i really love how hiveswap act 2 depicts troll society. sometimes it's difficult to get a clear understanding of it in the webcomic, but this game very clearly shows how different each caste is and offers insight into how varied quadrant relationships can be. it was really immersive!! and i love how dark the story got. the contrast between darkness and whimsicality is what i love most about homestuck.

to be honest i did not think i would be able to get invested in homestuck characters aside from the beta kids and beta trolls but i'm glad that that turned out not to be the case. for the record i think lanque is sooo hot and marvus had me lolling. i'm playing for achievements and with each playthrough i got more and more attached to the characters. especially joey and xefros, who have possibly the cutest interactions i've seen in a video game ever...

i honestly got so overwhelmed with emotion playing this, i nearly cried. it's hard to recommend to non-homestuck-fans but if you like homestuck at all, please play these games. i really really hope acts 3 and 4 get finished and released soon.
