Hiveswap: Act 1

About

Hiveswap Act 1 casts you as Joey Claire a 1990s teen thrust onto a war-torn alien world. This point-and-click puzzle game leans into retro vibes with hand-drawn visuals and dialogue-heavy exploration. You’ll navigate tense political conflicts and environmental challenges by solving logic puzzles and making choice-driven decisions. The alien setting blends sci-fi rebellion themes with 90s pop culture references creating a tonally quirky experience. The game’s art style and writing stand out for their charm and wit. Players have noted the puzzles are tricky but fair with a strong emphasis on creative thinking. While the first act feels a bit episodic the setup for larger conflicts and character dynamics shows promise for future releases. The blend of humor and tension in dialogue helps balance its occasionally slow pacing.
