It's melancholic, a bit gay and definitely woke but so am I so I find it kind of nice. Totally not GOAT, for in the end it does not have branching storylines, the dialogue choices won't have a significant effect and even if you would like to go rather offensive with the stressed dialogue option it just flattens out by actual dialogue which is played by your choice. So yeah - even if I said I am woke, I still wouldn't mind that the game had a bit of spice in it. I do act like a jerk sometimes when I am mad, even being part of LGBTQ+. I mean that sometimes life can be a real bummer and arguing can be more identifiable than it being filtered softer and peaceful even incoherent perhaps.. Nevertheless the story in total is still pretty good and time to time there is hard relationship issues and arguments, but devs keep the story strictly on rails and no matter what everything is gonna be really static despite of your choices. And yes the rhythm parts are also ultimately meaningless and they do not have any impact on the story no matter how you perform, but yet again that does not need to mean to lose your marbles about it when we could just enjoy of them! I felt that they were casual, but refreshing and gave that tiny adrenaline kick to push forward. At least there is achievements related to them.. Some people are also claiming that the game ain't actually a Visual Novel, but more like an animated movie or series that were never aired, and I take it as a good thing because it is! Animation is smooth, likable and original imo and the script is touching and bittersweet and all main characters have their own poses and manners making each of them feel unique person. I do recommend despite of some hatred it has gathered. Try to get it discounted. Peace.

I'm gonna preface this with saying, I'm someone who played I wani hug that gator first and then snoot game after that. I love wani, and enjoyed snoot. I'm also nonbinary, and have been since early highschool. I'm not here to talk about the controversy between these games nor do I want to. I just wanna give wani/snoot players an idea of this game. I think this game is very good. The art, the music, the voice acting, the ending, the rhythm portions, the LnL segments. all of that is absolutely fantastic. Fang in particular is i think a great character. I love everything about them in this game, their personality, their design, their va. awesome. potentially better than snoot's fang, though they are extremely different characters. (That being said, if you go into this expecting all the characters to have their snoot personalities, they are very different for most of the cast.) also the gameplay is definitely different. its still mostly a visual novel with choices that affect your relationships with others. but there are excellent rhythm game sections interspersed through it as well (kinda wish there was more tbh) as for criticisms, the game is way too short. i think you don't really get what you pay for, so i can only really recommend this game at a sale price. i bought it for 20 bucks and i think that was a decent price. also i wish the story was slightly different, and you got to individually choose who you hung out with in between band sections. sort of like how night in the woods does it if you've ever played that. (great game btw). also certain things related to trish and naomi i really didn't like. especially naomi. (she sucks in every universe apparently) but that's more so gripes about specific story beats that isn't really relevant here. the first couple of hours kinda drag too, but once you get to the first LnL session the game shoots up in quality for writing and characters. Which is a shame that it took so long for that to happen. right before the first LnL session, I was complaining to my friends about how i want to like the game, but none of the cast was that interesting to me despite playing for around 2 hours at that point. which is way too long for a game to get good when the game is only roughly 6 hours long. overall, if you're a wani/snoot fan. i think you should absolutely play this game. show some respect to the original creators that gave rise to a different great set of games and fangames. plus i think the good really outweighs the bad. (i cannot stress enough how amazing the art, voice acting, and ending are.) So yeah, good game. I do wish there were a few things different, and i think if they took this a slightly different direction it would be an S tier game. but for now its a 7/10 also for those who haven't played snoot or wani and played this game first. i really don't recommend snoot, at least not at first. the game is great but has some serious issues with how they portray fangs identity. the creators have since said that they wish they could rewrite how they did fangs identity in snoot now that they know more about gender identity, which is nice. Wani is a fantastic game i definitely recommend.

As someone how came from playing Snoot Game and IWHTG, I kept hearing from some people in those communities saying that GVH was bad, a rip-off, and other things. So I sat myself down and gave a crack at this game. After 1.8 hours and completing the entirety of Chapter 1 of 8, I have come to a realization. This game, isn't bad. Sure, it's not worth for game of the year or something, but for what it's got, it is a fun time. Sure there are issues, but most of the can be overlooked. To me, the rhythm game sections don't take away from the game. They are played during whenever Fang is playing any form of instrument and adds to that interactive feeling of the game. Another thing, the ui is incredible. It feels very PS5 esque and fits the vibe of the game. Following up, the voice cast and music are some of the best parts of the game. I can totally see Lachlan Watson voice Fang again in a dub of Snoot Game if she wanted to. It definitely deserved that Tribeca Festival Award. After all this, I really enjoyed this. Give Goodbye Volcano High a chance, because this isn't the bad game most people thought it was.

Didn't know what to expect, but came away with the most wholesome coming of age story that also spoke a lot of truths about life and about how I feel regarding my game dev career. The ending was really bittersweet .. ahh I honestly didn't want it to end.

So, I will admit that my first time playing the game was... A bit biased. And I didn't get into it with the open mind I probably should have. I had even stopped playing after a certain point. But-- I gave it another shot. Fresh set of eyes. And gave it a good, earnest shot. And the game frankly captured me. It is gorgeous in its presentation. It has great art, great music, most of its characters are super enjoyable and entertaining. It has made me make plenty of art based on the game, as well as little 'what-ifs'. And by now, I hold it in rather good regard. The game definitely shows PASSION behind it. There's mountains of it on display at any given moment. That's not to say it is perfect. The story has... A few issues. MAINLY pacing, with a few holes, but I definitely see what the idea, the goal, was. And on that front, they succeeded. Some dialogues can be a bit corny, if not even cringey at times, but I can definitely say that I was one very corny and cringey teenager, so if anything, I see as absurdly accurate sometimes. Definitely recommending it. Despite its faults, and rocky development, it's a game that can be very much enjoyed.
