Decide Who To Be
Your choices shape who Fang becomes, and determine your gameplay experience. Discover what the future holds as you play through your final year at Volcano High. No pressure...
Chosen Family Values
Get close with friends, family, acquaintances, frenemies, crushes (crushes!?!). Figure out how you’re gonna be there for your loved ones when it matters most—it is the literal end of the world, after all. Nurturing relationships builds affinity and changes the outcome of your gameplay.
Don’t Let the Apocalypse Get You Down
Put all the shit that’s hard to say into your music with an interactive rhythm and lyrics system. Choose what you want to say in your lyrics and then perform those original tracks throughout the story.
Dino Minigames & Prehistoric Interactions
Immerse yourself in Fang's day-to-day through interactions and conversations. In-game dinosaur-themed social media and interactive one-offs make you a part of Fang's life.
