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. It is way better than both Snoot Game and IWHTG, I do not want to sugarcoat my words but I do mean that this game has more passion, better writing, and artwork than anything made out of the Cavemanon games. Goodbye, Volcano High, I'll never forget my year here.
I got this game a few years back. I saw cute characters and LGBTQ+ themes. I tried to play it maybe 3 or 4 times, but always got distracted by something else happening in life roughly an hour or two in. I could not have gotten back to this game at a more perfect time and place in life. The cast are all dinosaurs and the main story driver is an asteroid, we all know how this ends, but it's really about how you get there. This game shows a pretty realistic portration of queer friend circles, queer people stick together. The story made me worry, stop and think and question how I would react in these situations, and I found almost every dialogue option to have at least one option I would pick in real life. Right now, I'm faced with the same problem the characters in the game are at the beginning; How do you want to spend the rest of your life? At the time of writing this, I just got accepted into university, putting me squarely in the same age bracket as the characters, with the same queer friend group and problems. If you are a young queer adult, this game is a must play, and don't put it off.
I'm such a sap for coming of age stories with cringe teens. I like that it frequently locks you out of choices or gives you only undesirable reactions to choose from, makes the main character feel like more of a real person than an in-game avatar for the player. I think if one goes into this knowing what they're getting into - a very straightforward slice of life story about kiddos living in a time of uncertainty - then it would probably land better for them. And yeah the soundtrack and animation quality are fantastic
I started playing the game without knowing how much hate it got on the internet. But looking at the videos disliking this game very badly, the amount of likes on those videos and amount of comments is nowhere near the review numbers of this game. So basically, the majority of the people hating this game never even got the game in the first place. I even saw someone talking about how narrow the necks of these anthropomorphic dino characters are, and his video avatar was an anthro hyena with a small neck. Seriously dude, wtf? Your character's design falls into the same problem you're talking bad about in this game. Is the game great? No. I guess it's nice to get it on sale rather than full price. The choices we make have zero impact on the narrative. In the end, everyone will be behind you for helping you out, which feels dull considering this is a visual novel. Coming to the character designs, well yes, they are weird-looking, and I actually had a hard time the first hour or two getting used to snout choices that look a bit weird from some angles. Animations also feel weird to me. But after 1 or 2 hours, I started to feel it was refreshing to see a slightly different approach to snout design for anthropomorphic characters. Well, what's good about this game? Music. It is all perfect; background art is warm and welcoming. Choosing or not being able to choose Fang's words is also a nice touch. I didn't expect the text choice to go away when I move my cursor away or wasn't fast enough for Fang's internal voice to stop it.
Generally, if you enjoy visual novels, this one is okay. I would give this an average review, can't recommend it to everybody, can't say it's terrible either. The TL;DR would be that it feels quite a bit shallow/hollow, and that it sounds and looks better than what the story and characters will give you, emotionally, to reemmber. You will find the overall story and the developments, character dialogs and all that, perhaps underwhelming if you're thinking you'll have an all-out emotional game in front of you. This is not Night in the Woods level deep, and not nearly as emotionally gripping and terrifying. However, there are a few of these deeper moments here, too. I promise. The characters voice chat is phenomenal. Absolutely fantastic work. I especially admire fang for her voice work, as well as Naser and Naomi. The art design is going to be a matter of taste, but have been nothing but stellar in visual quality all throughout. It looks as though you are playing an Anime show a lot of the time. Visually this is quite breathtaking. The music is nice, although you'll have to like this grounge/garage band sound. The quicktime sequences are unfair at times, prompting you with motions you have had no tutorial to see for, but mostly it's alright and I got a 90%+ score in all of them on the first try regardless. This is a bit more varied than the way Night in the Woods did that. If you're familiar with the Life is Strange games, this is basically the same kind of game minus walking around and a lot of interactivity. That's a bit of a downer. You never get to explore, go places, it's a pure visual novel and it won't give you a whole lot of choice. If anything, it teases and taunts you with choice carrots only to pull these away when you reach out. A lot of the time my choices, when I attempted to go for them, became non-actable, button clicks were ignored and the main character would reason against that idea. I'm not fond of presenting perfectly good choices only to not let me actually follow through. The plot is very bare bones. Don't expect much in terms of questions getting answered, and by the end of it, you will not know how things really end, leaving it to your imagination perhaps. It did not much daring to, this plot. Every time things got a bit closer to the heat, it would shift to a more light hearted theme as quickly as it could. You aren't given a whole lot of time to soak in the specific moments, they're over quite quickly. And any objections you might have about the characters acting and interacting with each other in the ways they do, you can't put forward. So yes, Teenagers will do Dumb. They will sometimes talk very smart, act smart, and responsible, but most times you may expect the usual phone addiction and typical teenage angst on full display. They're nice, this bunch, but they're quite dumb at times. Not all, not all throughout. A lot of the drama and the problems found in the game are self-inflicted, and planet-ending comet or meteor that is on collision course, is basically just a plot device, and only briefly put forward to remind you that "this is sad", and you should be sad. That's a few negatives in this review but I still really like it, and recommend it to anyone who can survive teenage drama over much nothing and the usual cliche that follows teenagers around. You may be able to take them seriously and feel for them, as I have, but it wasn't always easy.
