As mentioned back during our preview of the game at PAX East earlier this year, the game was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and not just when it came to development. School life has drastically changed during this era, and the coming-of-age tale in Goodbye Volcano High expertly reflects that mood, what it feels like to have all of your plans the year suddenly derailed, everything suddenly being brought to a standstill. How exactly does one cope with such a world, the possibility that things might never be the same again? Fang's story delves into such issues, and in a nice parallel, does so before the asteroid even becomes a more well-known threat.
