Hiveswap Friendsim: Volume Five Review (butterfleyes)
Here in the fifth volume of Hiveswap Friendsim, you choose between a strange unnamed goldblood who is actually an oliveblood assassin named Polypa Goezee, and a indigoblood "civil rights acitivist" named Zebruh Codakk. In Polypa's route, you come across a murder scene, and Polypa takes you on a "date" in order to lay low because the victim was a highblood, and she was the killer. In Zebruh's route, Zebruh takes you along for a stroll to his hive during the night of "Flushed Affirmation Day" (which seems to be their equivalant of Valentine's Day), subtly hitting on you throughout the story. Good lord.
It seriously feels like this was otherwise supposed to be a Valentine's Day special, as both routes have some kind of romantic undertone. And it really could have been, if it were released back in February. But I digress.
Volume 6 is next!
