Download

The Homestuck POV Cam Chrome extension lets you experience Andrew Hussie's Homestuck from the perspective of any character. By reordering pages to follow a single character's timeline, it offers a fresh narrative experience. Extra page links allow easy switching between character views directly on mspaintadventures.

Beyond timeline navigation, the extension enhances readability with options like auto-opening pesterlogs, arrow key navigation, highlighting Doc Scratch's text, disabling Lord English's link flashes, viewing pre-retcon pages, and controlling flash animations. It supports extensive character timelines including beta kids, trolls, sprites, guardians, exiles, agents, and cherubs, making it perfect for both new readers and fans seeking deeper immersion. Spoilers abound, so use with caution!

User reviews

Homestuck POV Cam is praised for offering an innovative way to read and analyze the comic by focusing on character perspectives, with features aiding rereads and timeline comparisons. However, multiple users find it confusing to use, especially beginners, and desire better navigation such as jumping to the first page of a character's arc.

I do not have any complaints besides the fact that it would be nice to jump to the first page for a character timeline-wise.The wiki has some links, but not for ALL of the characters.

VERY helpful, especially when trying to compare events for characters in a more linear fashion, trying to analyze character development etc.
