Hiveswap Friendsim: Volume Three Review (Gab Rosemary)
This one is the best volume yet, I think. In my opinion, anyways. This one offers some neat little details about trollplanet that is new even to Homestuck fans, so I appreciate the heck out of that.
They follow the same formula as usual, our semi anonomous protagonist now traveling to some new locations which opens up whole NEW adventures we can have. Oh, yeah. Where the last chapter felt more conversational and insulated, this one involves more action. Action conveyed mostly through conversation and text boxes and stock reaction postures like any visual novel, but even so.
I don't know if I'm just imagining this but I feel like these were also both longer chapters than usual. Only slightly, but that helps it feel like more of an experience I guess?
Skylla's route is my favorite, but that's only natural because I was drawn to her since trollcall. But due to my zodiac I am preternaturally drawn to any and all Jadeblood happenstance as well. It's fascinating stuff. One of them gets pretty dang emotional, and the other pushes the gore to a new high, while still being pretty crassly humorous in the face of it all.
All in all, another 99 pennies well spent, but maybe that's easy for me to say since I still have a few bucks in steam wallet that isn't going anywhere else. Still, for 3 humble dollars and counting, Friendsim is beginning to round out nicely into an enjoyably chaotic and somewhat, erm... morally challenging? little game to waste your afternoon. I'm ever eager for the next volume to drop in like two weeks.
