Goodbye Volcano High is a story about love, friendship, personal growth, acceptance, and the power of community in the face of disaster. Fang has just figured out what they want to do with their life, and now they've got to find out how to deal with the end of the world, be there for their loved ones, and follow through on their musical dreams before it's too late.

Yes! Fang is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.

Goodbye Volcano High is a cinematic visual novel. Players will have conversations, make choices through dialogue, and guide our main character Fang through a story about love, friendship, and change.

It's a 2D game! All the character art and backgrounds are drawn and animated in 2D. We use a bunch of tools but our most common ones are: Unity, Spine2D, Ink, and Photoshop.

While we would love to bring the game to more platforms in the future, we have no plans to at the moment.

Our rating from ESRB is T for language, alcohol, and smoking.

Yes! Most of the characters in Goodbye Volcano High would identify as queer.

Yes! KO_OP is made up of people with a variety of gender identities and backgrounds, including nonbinary and queer identities.

We aim to create a game that speaks to a diverse audience and we are taking great care and doing the work to be mindful of all identities, sensitivities, and concerns. We are drawing specifically from the identities of those on our team. The representation, responsibility, and love that a game like this requires has always been of the utmost importance to us. We hope that you will see that we are telling our story in a safe and considerate way.

It is indeed a real meteor and not just a metaphor. The "impending meteor" plot in Goodbye Volcano High mirrors the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. Sorry!

Yes! But it's also a hybrid cinematic narrative rhythm game, and borrows elements from several genres. At its core, it's a narrative game that's lovingly animated and filled with unique interactions.

Goodbye Volcano High is not a dating sim. While there are opportunities in the game to get closer to specific characters, it's not the goal of the story.

The gameplay for Goodbye Volcano High revolves around dialog choices from Fang's perspective, where you make choices guiding Fang's responses to the world around them. You'll also be performing their band Worm Drama's music through rythmn gameplay.

The game only has English audio but it will be available with subtitle and interface translations for: French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, and Russian.

While GVH is not verified on the Steam Deck, we can confirm that we've tested it on the Steam Deck and it works, so go for it!

Fang is deadnamed by their mother in 2 scenes. The first instance is delivered via Naser quoting their mother as well as in a post-it note their mother leaves, and the later instance is directly from their mother on a phone call.

Fang is deadnamed and misgendered briefly by their mother. Fang also discusses transphobia and their family's reaction to transitioning with other transgender characters.

It was important for us to accurately reflect the struggles queer people with unaccepting families face in the real world. Misgendering and deadnaming are an unfortunate reality for too many trans and nonbinary teens, and the game tries to portray that with sensitivity and care.

And while the game does include misgendering and deadnaming, it contains no transphobic confrontations or violence; we wanted to create a serious and contemplative story that LGBTQ players could safely enjoy.

Goodbye Volcano High contains usage of tobacco and alcohol, apocalyptic themes, messages from an anonymous admirer, misgendering and deadnaming, discussion of transphobia, and mention and allusion to character deaths

There are multiple "paths" within the game depending on which characters the player grows closer to, but there is only one ending.
