Judgement: Recommended

View review on Steam

If there is ever a "true hidden gem" indie game, Hiveswap: Act 1 most definitely fits the bill. Everything from the crazy and entertaining storyline and dialogues (there are also dialogue choices you can pick) to the quirky yet relatable characters, to even the simple-enough logical puzzles (like finding batteries for a flashlight)... it is obvious the developers have poured plenty of effort and love on this project and it shows!

This is, without a doubt, the easiest game recommendation that I can give. If you love point-and-click adventures that are both nerdy and quirky, and can make you chuckle from time to time, Hiveswap is one game you don't want to miss out!

Overall
Completed Hiveswap: Act 1 and it just left me empty and hollow inside... the kind of way that you'd feel after finishing a really good TV show or game and you have no idea what you're going to do with your life. The developers seriously need to start working on - if they haven't already - on the Act 2! I really want to know what's going on with poor Jude and how Joey can help Xefros with his rebellion against the Heiress!
