<report>A very relaxing game where you play the role of a bartender listening to various interesting stories about a pretty out there future, with a nice little side game that can give some different story results.

There are some emotional and/or dark plots that are interesting, but the main focus of the game is good old silly humor and some memes thrown in. My fave being the silly wrestling quotes since I used to watch a lot of that stuff as a kid. There's also a nice look at friendships, and we see some pretty realistic portrayals of how coworkers and friends look out for and care for eachother. It really gives you those 'aww' moments when you see them. A nice selection of customizable music too.

Recommended if you want to play something not too serious and relaxing.

<report>This game has decent characters, it also has a nice setting, even though not a properly explored one. What this game doesn't have is any actual story. There's literally no plot in this game, no reason for anything to happen, it doesn't lead you anywhere. You just repeat a rather boring gameplay (some can find it relaxing), listen to what people have to say, which gives you information about them and the world, and... and nothing. It doesn't follow even the most basic story structure, it's really hard to call this game a "novel" (even if a visual one), if it was in the form of a book people would be left extremely confused and unsatisfied. But it seems that if you add some gameplay, then everyone is suddenly okay with having no story to follow, lol.

<report>I wasn't sure if I would like this game...and oh boy, thank you destiny for that!

This game is great! It's hard to put into words on how the game works so well, but if I have to try it, I would use the word "comfy". The game goes all out to make the experience so nice, enjoyable and confortable: Jill and the other characters are incredible and have a lot of personality (to the point that they felt like my own friends, and I laught with them quite a bit), the songs while you play, the gameplay in on itself...but the most amazing part for me, is the "little details" that enhance the experience and put it on another level. You can fell that this project was made with love and care, and considering the industry latelly, that is such a breath of fresh air.

I'll drink a Piano Man for you Jill!

<report>Va-11 Hall-A or most known as Valhalla is a great and complete visual novel with some gameplay elements that improve the overall experience, is like papers please and games like that, you spend time making some drinks and changing lives.
For me, the game have the perfect characters and it's immersing, glitch city and its problems seem real.
I recommend this awesome game to everyone who want to play an experience different from other visual novels.

<report>An amazing and relaxing game. Sitting back and listening to various stories on a variety of topics while occasionally making drinks for customers is one of the best experiences I've ever had.

I don't know if it's because the game's developer is South American, but the naturalness and fluidity of the dialogues, in addition to the topics of conversation, is something so close to our reality that you would hardly see it in a work from abroad, not to mention the boldness in address such too much. The way conversations unfold is no different from the way you have a casual conversation with a friend or strike up a conversation with a stranger.
This is by far the greatest quality of the game, and... Read more »

<report>I decide how good a game is based on how much I'm left wanting more of it, and if I am, if it's a satisfying feeling or not. Put simply, I am wanting more, much more, but the story ended just fine and I can't be upset over it.

The setting sucks you in, and I can't emphasize that point enough. The striking visual design grabs you by the eyes and doesn't let go. It's not only just pretty to look at it, there are little details everywhere that add to the experience. You can be several hours in and notice something new at the bar you simply didn't see before, a tidbit about a character that adds to their charm, or something simply in the background that feels like a charming Easter egg.

<report>VA-11 Hall-A, for me, the graphic is nice, the BGM suits the environment very well, and the gameplay (serving drinks) is really relaxing. Even though it looks like same tasks over and over again, but it is not boring for me at all, as the dialogue focused style makes a very good immersive story telling.
About the story, the main plot of this game is rather short. I consider the Jill and Lenore and Gabriella’s story as main story line, everything else is side story. Most of the game’s story contribute to build other characters, or just build up the background, telling you about this world. The character depiction is decent for this game, and the background is not half bad. Even though the... Read more »
