About This Game

VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action is a booze em' up about waifus, technology, and post-dystopia life.

In this world, corporations reign supreme, all human life is infected with nanomachines designed to oppress them, and the terrifying White Knights ensure that everyone obeys the laws.

But, this is not about those people.

You are a bartender at VA-11 HALL-A, affectionately nicknamed "Valhalla." Although it is just a small bar downtown, it attracts the most fascinating people this side of dystopia. Keep your clients lubricated and you will be made privy to the most interesting stories.

"Although there aren't dialogue options, VA-11 HALL-A creates a storytelling experience that's grippingly personal. If, like many game theorists argue, story should always act as a supporter to mechanics, then VA-11 HALL-A is the exception that makes the rule." - Kill Screen

"Never falls into the trap of simply alternating “gameplay” and “story” as so many narrative-based games do; rather, everything you do feels relevant to what is unfolding in front of you." - Moe Gamer

"It's through these brief, unguarded conversations that the cyberpunk bartending sim slowly unfolds its story; not of a dystopian world, but of the people living in it." - PC Gamer

---

  • Learn about daily life in the cyberpunk dystopia of Glitch City.

  • A branching storyline where your decisions do not depend on traditional choices, but through the drinks you prepare.

  • Visuals inspired by old Japanese adventure games for the PC-98, with a modern touch for an otherworldly experience.

  • Get to know your clients, their tastes, and prepare the drink that will change their lives.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The player character is a bartender serving alcohol to a number of patrons. Characters routinely use coarse language and speak in detail about their sex lives, though this is expressed entirely through written dialogue.
