I’m glad I stumbled onto your post in New Communities! Lemmy really takes some getting used to, but I’m optimistic.
I kinda just saw the game on Steam from time to time, while it was very different from my usual game genres, I tend to notice when a game gets “Overwhelmingly positive”. That and some occasional references heard made me decide to get it on a summer sale. (Also I’m pretty sure I was still in the mood for cyberpunk thanks to the then recent Keanu Reeves reveal for 2077. )
I hadn’t really played with many visual games but I liked the character focused story. It definitely hit me right where it hurt given the emotions and problems I had back then. I like to compare VA-11 Hall-A as the inverse of say Life is Strange. The latter is a series of spectacular events happening to someone in an ordinary world, whereas VA-11 Hall-A is basically slice of life content in an extraordinary world.
Incidentally just a few weeks after playing it I found out about a certain collaboration with the mobile game Girl’s Frontline. I was just in time to start playing it and that is how I stumbled on this username.
