About VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action

VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action is a single player simulator and visual novel released on June 21, 2016. It is set in a science fiction cyberpunk city and is presented as text, with the player working behind the bar of a small downtown establishment. The game is the first entry in the Cyberpunk Bartender Action series.

Your role is to serve the customers who come in, learning about their tastes and preparing the drinks they ask for. The narrative branches based on the drinks you make rather than on conventional dialogue options, so each order shapes how the conversations and stories unfold. The presentation draws on retro Japanese PC-98 era adventure games, paired with a modern look, and the soundtrack was composed entirely by Garoad.

SUKEBAN developed the game, and Ysbryd Games published it. It is available on PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, PS4, PlayStation Vita, and Switch. It carries an ESRB M rating and a PEGI 16 rating.
