In HIVE004 the roles are reversed. In this game, the player is not in charge but expected to follow the beat, guided by the voice of the queen. Be a submissive part of the colony, do as your told and we're sure you'll have a great time!

HIVE004 is inspired by ant colonies, and its hierarchical structures and ways of navigating as a colony. Players are initially motivated to, just like in ant colonies, follow the beat of a drum, and repeat a simple pattern. But the opposite is true; the true goal of the game is to break through the obvious patterns, and start looking for clues of what the real game is. Discover and unlock nodes outside of the game to break the pattern.
