About the Game
Friendsim 2 is the UNofficial sequel to Hiveswap: Friendsim and Pesterquest, 100% free! Set after the events of Pesterquest, join MSPA Reader as they once more return to Alternia to rescue their friends.
But all isn’t as it seems, and what’s supposed to be a quick trip back to tie up loose ends turns into a struggle against the forces of the Alternian Empire, destiny, and the very narrative itself.
Featuring an original story spanning 14 full volumes (and a prologue!), with over two hundred thousand words of dialogue and over 20 hours of gameplay!
▪ Fully voice-acted dialogue, with a talented cast that includes established fandom voice actors, up-and-coming talent, and professional voice actors!
▪ Original hand-drawn backgrounds rendered in tasty 1080p resolution (that’s 50% higher than the original Friendsim)!
▪ All-new sprites for every character, including brand-new designs by some of the original artists for Hiveswap, Friendsim, and Pesterquest!
▪ An original soundtrack featuring over 40 tracks by composers who’ve worked on Homestuck, Hiveswap, Friendsim, Pesterquest, Vast Error, Snowbound Blood, Act 8, Befriendus, DistantQuest, and more!
▪ Unique and engaging gameplay mechanics that go beyond the basic Friendsim format in ways you probably won’t expect.
▪ A constantly updating, fully interactive Chittr interface that adds to the game’s narrative and provides a look into the characters’ inner lives!
▪ A persistent narrative experience that tracks your progress and leads to a variety of unique endings based on your choices throughout the game.
▪ Accessibility options including the ability to disable text quirks, adjust action sequence difficulty, tweak volume mixing for live-reading the game, skip through dialogue, and view the full content warnings for each route right from the menu!
▪ A team that includes writers, artists, and musicians who’ve worked on both official and fan projects including Pesterquest, Hiveswap Acts 1 & 2, Friendsim, Homestuck, Homestuck^2, Vast Error, Snowbound Blood, Befriendus, DistantQuest, Midnight City, Act 8, and more!
