Mar 3, 2024Without any great novelties or innovations, Hiveswap Friendsim's greatest strength lies in its well-written text and unexpected situations. Visually unstable and mechanically simple, it's a recommendation for fans of the genre who don't expect to be involved with a great story, but rather with the misadventures of a fan of making friends.

Dec 8, 2023Hiveswap Friendsim is a reasonably competent visual novel. The focus on friendship and the short chapters can make the act of relationships a little trivial. It can be a little too convenient at times and the writing lays on the humour thick. At least there's plenty of personality on offer with the friends having their own interests and problems. It's not doing anything special within the genre but fans of whatever the Homestuck universe is will be feel right at home.
