You return as the MSPA Reader, the player character from Hiveswap Friendsim, and travel between Earth and Alternia amid timeline and dimensional confusion. Along the way, you encounter characters from Homestuck.
Each volume centers on a different character. Read dialogue, choose responses, and explore new interactions and relationships in a story that mixes comedy, science fiction, and Homestuck lore.
The story unfolds across 14 volumes, with branching routes and endings. Replaying volumes lets you explore different choices and see more of each character’s story.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its expanded character interactions and development, Homestuck callbacks, and mix of absurd humor and meta jokes. Reviews also call out the artwork and soundtrack. Some players find the story hard to follow without substantial Homestuck knowledge, or feel the writing and limited interaction do not work for them.
Who are you again? And what the hell are you doing here? Wait… is this Earth, and who exactly is that kid over there? He looks nice!
