Goodbye Volcano High is a choice-driven cinematic adventure developed by KO_OP, released in 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. Set during the final year of high school, it follows Fang, an 18-year-old dinosaur voiced by Lachlan Watson, who is navigating friendships, a burgeoning romance, and family tension against the backdrop of an impending extinction-level event. The game blends narrative decision-making with an interactive rhythm system in which players select lyrics and perform original songs that emerge organically from the story. Choices throughout shape Fang's relationships and personal development, with affinity built through conversations and interactions affecting how events unfold. The visual presentation uses hand-drawn art and character animation styled to resemble an animated series. The narrative scripting engine behind Heaven's Vault and 80 Days underpins the storytelling. Dinosaur-themed social media and assorted minigames fill out Fang's day-to-day life between major story beats.
