Goodbye Volcano High is Beautiful

I'm so, so happy to see that this game was able to release despite everything. It breaks my heart to see the amount of hate the project has gotten, and I hope that even if it's just by a small amount, my review helps to turn the discussion in a more positive light.

Hi everyone! I'm Maddie (AKA Kit), I'm a trans woman, film student, and all around geek! She/Her only, please. I love video games, particularly stuff from Nintendo and Sony, basically everything to do with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and animation! I'm apparently a Splatoon YouTuber now lol If you'd like to use any part of my videos in your own content or collaborate on a project, please contact me in the email listed in the "About" section of my channel. Thanks! Stole some stuff from Wikipedia to get more recommendations from keywords, you can't stop me, hehehe... Goodbye Volcano High is a narrative adventure game by KO_OP. It features anthropomorphic dinosaur Fang attempting a band audition while attending school Volcano High. The game was released on 29 August 2023, for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows. Set in a world of anthropomorphic dinosaurs, the game centers on the members of the band VVorm Drama; the non-binary lead vocalist Fang the pterodactyl (Lachlan Watson), guitarist Trish the triceratops (Ozioma Akagha) and drummer Reed the velociraptor (Mark Whitten), alongside the school's student council president Naomi the parasaurolophus (Allegra Clark) and Fang's brother Naser (Abe Bueno-Jallad), - as they venture through the highs and lows of their final year as Volcano High seniors with graduation looming over the horizon while coming to terms with their own impending extinction from an asteroid. The game was initially announced during PlayStation's "Future of Gaming" online presentation on 11 June 2020, with a release window of 2021. In August 2021, KO_OP announced a delay of Goodbye Volcano High's release until sometime in 2022. The developers wanted to avoid crunch related to the unspoken disease, and had already brought in a new writing team from Sweet Baby Inc. in June 2020 to reboot the game's entire narrative direction. The new narrative direction was largely inspired by the experiences of high school seniors graduating during the pandemic. In November 2022, the game was delayed to 2023. A new gameplay trailer premiered during a PlayStation "State of Play" presentation on 23 February 2023, announcing a release date of 15 June but was delayed to 29 August.
