The Vita Version of the game will be shown off at this year’s Bitsummit convention, which is a yearly independent gaming convention held in Kyoto, Japan.
The publisher of the port, Wolfgame, has shown off a bit of the Vita version’s gameplay on their Twitter, which you can view below:
For any readers who may have missed out on VA-11 HALL-A, it is a visual novel set in a dystopian cyberpunk future where the authoritarian government is always watching, the economy is in shambles, and many people seek escape from their depressing everyday lives at the bottom of a glass.
The player takes on the role of Jill, a bartender at the eponymous VA-11 HALL-A bar in a small corner of Glitch City, and must correctly mix and serve drinks while learning about the outside world through the many different and interesting people who wander in looking for a buzz.
The game is mostly dialogue and reading, interspersed every few minutes with the task of mixing a drink – and the dialogue and story-line can vary based on how you mix each drink.
A typical dialogue exchange in VA-11 HALL-A.
Apparently, Wolfgame has also had the game rated by the Brazilian ratings board for a number of other gaming platforms – but all other platforms aside from the Vita are only possibilities for the future, and not absolute certainties.
VA-11 HALL-A is currently available on Steam and GOG.com, with a port for the iPad supposedly in the works as well.
