The world’s about to explode. Just in time for senior year.

Just Fang’s luck: they finally figure out what they want out of life, and now the world’s about to explode.

Ok. So the world’s ending—do you tell your crush your feelings? Fix your messed-up family dynamic? Write the best song ever ever ever?? Try to do it all?

Goodbye Volcano High is a story-driven, choice-based cinematic adventure game about personal growth, acceptance, and the power of community. What will you do at the end of an era?

Decide Who To Be

Your choices shape who Fang becomes, and determine your gameplay experience. Discover what the future holds as you play through your final year at Volcano High. No pressure...

Chosen Family Values

Get close with friends, family, acquaintances, frenemies, crushes (crushes!?!). Figure out how you’re gonna be there for your loved ones when it matters most—it is the literal end of the world, after all. Nurturing relationships builds affinity and changes the outcome of your gameplay.

Don’t Let the Apocalypse Get You Down

Put all the shit that’s hard to say into your music with an interactive rhythm and lyrics system. Choose what you want to say in your lyrics and then perform those original tracks throughout the story.

Dino Minigames & Prehistoric Interactions 

Immerse yourself in Fang's day-to-day through interactions and conversations. In-game dinosaur-themed social media and interactive one-offs make you a part of Fang's life.
