A LOVE LETTER TO '90s ADVENTURE GAMES \.\.\.without the accompanying frustration\. As fun and well\-paced as you generously remember them being\.

Spend hours trying everything on everything, if you want to \-\- but not because you have to\. Learn about the characters by exploring their homes\! But like, in a good way\! No audio logs split up and scattered around \-\- GUARANTEED\. HAND\-ANIMATED IN TWO DIMENSIONS Strange homes to explore, every room brimming with secrets\. The world of HIVESWAP is beautiful and alive, from its hyper\-detailed environments to its gorgeous fully\-rendered animations\. Come take a look\! MUSIC TO MAKE YOU WEEP An eclectic, ambitious, genre\-spanning soundtrack, featuring contributions from Undertale’s Toby Fox and, regrettably, at least one third\-wave ska song\. Also featuring at least one pseudo\-revolutionary garage rock duo, with regrets of their own\. WORLDS TO SEE, TEENS TO BE Play as JOEY CLAIRE, EXTRAORDINAIRE, a teen trapped in her room \*and\* in 1994\. Play as JUDE HARLEY, BIZARRELY, her kid brother, trapped in his treehouse\.

Once released, HIVESWAP and Hauntswitch will be playable in either order\. Haven’t read Homestuck ? That’s fine\! This game is set in 1994\! Homestuck hasn’t even been invented yet\!
