Introduction
Hello everyone, YaOldBuddy here with a review on the game Goodbye Volcano High.

Goodbye Volcano High is one of those games that show me why i love story games and when choices are around, how impacting they can be. They'll allow us to choose what we we want and how we feel about situations and GVH is exactly that. It felt nice feeling like you are apart of the story in a way but the way you choose the options, you choose it for the main character called "Fang". You get to see so many different sides of how the story could potentially go and makes you eager to know them.

The Pros and the Cons (kinda)

The Pros
- The Story is pretty well made, nothing feels too cheesy and the story is willing to give you a good time and gets you into the mood of how the situations end up being.
- None of the character comes off as too annoying or act like they aren't fitting to the story or the cast overall, they were all pretty well put together to be apart of a cast.
- The Artstyle, the enviornment and the scenebuilding overall are wonderful. I cannot express how many times while listening during the story, i tried to look around as much as i could to find small details or simply watch how beautiful the enviornment was or how well drawn everything was. It is impressive how much work KO_OP's team put into this.
- The Gameplay is put very well (of course recommended more with controller). The decisions didn't seem bad and quite fits to the decisions you would have to make inside the game. As for the Rhythm gameplay... You have to press alot of buttons and use the joysticks at the right moment like you were hitting the drums, that gameplay felt very smooth but can be abit confusing at first. Either way loved it!

The Cons.... Kinda?

With pros, there are of course a few cons. Though they have not been too impactful for the gameplay and the story.

- Whenever a character gets to a next position, it kinda snaps to a next position which i found abit odd and sort of uncomfortable.
- (Not sure if intentional) The mouth movement of the characters is sometimes abit too slow and doesn't catch up all too much with the dialogue.

Personal Opinion

My Personal opinion to this game is going to be as following:
I recommend this game!
The game deserves the money as funding with all the work the team being KO-OP has put into it. It was a meaningful story, alot of attention to detail and overall the characters, environments and the emotions that wakes up within you. (A little overdramatic from my sides but i dont care, i love this game!)

One thing i loved about this as well is that the game wasn't afraid to show it's nature sometimes and kinda also the reality of situations. They've shown how people would act even through a dire situation. People would still be meming around, paranoid or still acting like themselves, just like the internet would. Another part of the game is the LGBT-Q like aspect. If you don't like that part, it's too bad. I love how the game really loves to support the groups and allows you to hear it from their side and i support it. No one should worry about who they really should be.

This was my review on Goodbye Volcano High and my last words will be: This was a pleasent experience.
