'Goodbye Volcano High' Gets Delayed On All Platforms Until 2022

by Rainier on Aug. 18, 2021 @ 6:29 p.m. PDT

Goodbye Volcano High is an emotional, high-stakes teenage narrative adventure will take players on a journey to self discovery, deciding how to live your life to the fullest when you know that your days are numbered.

Fang is a typical 18-year-old dinosaur: they’re more concerned about their band going viral than they are about what happens after graduation. But they’re about to have much bigger problems. Will they find time to figure themselves out? Can they balance navigating a changing world with a budding romance? During hard times, what do we owe each other? Goodbye Volcano High is a cinematic narrative adventure about the end of an era… and the beginning of a love story.  

The team is also excited to welcome actor Lachlan Watson (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) who will lend her voice to Fang, the game’s playable protagonist.

Goodbye Volcano High is a queer narrative adventure game created by a diverse team: one of the key pillars of the studio.

Ok, so... about this!

Kinda goes without saying but making games during a pandemic is hard?

In addition to Global Events, 2020 saw us rebooting the narrative of our game (you can read more about that below). Those two factors have delayed our release timeline. So we are making what we're sure is by now an expected announcement: Goodbye Volcano High will be a 2022 title, not a 2021 one.

It's been a really hard year for many reasons, and the mental and physical health of the team has to come first. We don't want to crunch, and we don't want to put ourselves in stressful situations to finish the game by 2021 when we can take a little more time.

So ya! That's that! Band-aid ripped!

We love the community that we've fostered through developing Goodbye Volcano High, and we hope it isn't too much of a bummer to have to wait a little longer for the dino drama. Thank you to those who have been supporting us since day one and to those who have joined us along the way. We really appreciate you and your support. We love making this game and we're lucky we have a chance to make it!

We’ll have some more fun updates we'll be posting in the coming months that we hope you’ll like.
