The highly-anticipated Cyberpunk Bartender Action: VA-11 HALL-A by Sukeban Games will officially be released tomorrow, June 21. It will be launched on PC, Linux, and Mac — with iPad and PS Vita versions set for a later release date.
The game takes place in a dystopian future, where….
“…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 game is not about those people.
You play as a bartender at VA-11 HALL-A, otherwise known as “Valhalla.” Although it’s just a small bar downtown, it attracts quite the odd crowd, including:
“The most fascinating people this side of dystopia. Keep your clients lubricated and you will be made privy to the most interesting stories.”
In this story-telling, dialogue-driven game, your experience is heavily influenced by the choices you make as a bartender and through the drinks that you prepare.
As more of the characters share their stories with you, you have the opportunity to discover their daily lives in a “cyberpunk dystopia.”
The visuals are inspired by old Japanese adventure games for the PC-98, with a modern touch.
“Get to know your clients, their tastes, and prepare the drink that will change their lives.”
For more information behind the game and its features, visit the developer’s website or blog.
You can also download a demo version of the game (for Windows).
Cyberpunk Bartender Action: VA-11 HALL-A will be available on Steam starting June 21, 2016.
