Game's banner.

Status: Lost

N1RV Ann-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action is a visual novel developed by Venezuelan studio Sukeban Games.^[1] The visual novel was announced in September 2018 for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.^[2] It is a sequel to the 2016 visual novel VA-11 Hall-A. It takes place on Saint Alicia, a fictional resort island in the Caribbean. It follows Sam, a working mother with an 8-year-old son who has relationship issues with her partner Leon.^[3]

Damas delayed the game indefinitely on December 1, 2020, due to personal events and his refusal to give up his role as the sole programmer. The game was rebuilt from scratch in early 2020, but creative differences caused internal conflict. However, these issues were resolved, and the game is still in production as of 2023, with no confirmed release date.^[4]

Availability

A demo was only shown at PAX East 2020 of the first 15 minutes of the game, including new game systems such as the "React" Mechanic that lets you choose if you want to be friendly, doubtful, flirty, etc.^[5] The demo is not available to the general public but is the only proof of its existence. A YouTube upload of the gameplay by Nintendo World Report TV was uploaded on March 2nd, 2020, and different pictures were taken at the Ysbryd Games stand.
