Really good experience
Great game with an aesthetic and soundtrack that synergize well to create a fantastic atmosphere and mood that makes you just sink into the world and the story around the characters

Music, characters, and nanotech poisons
This game prepared me for what police riots are, and what they're like. I knew they were a thing, but until 2020 I'd never seen them on the scale they occurred in the US, not in person, not so close to home. They were a thing that happened elsewhere. I played this game and was like, "Oh. Huh. So that's a thing." and then it happened here and I was like "Oh so that's what it's like IRL." The game wears a lot of its influences on its sleeve, which is cool. While the music doesn't sound derivative, you can hear familiar vibes in it, including Kōji Makaino, composer of the Bubblegum Crisis score and soundtrack. Indeed, multiple characters in VA-11 Hall-A bear character names with clear references, including the lead, Jill Stingray, and the character Sei P. Asagiri, whose name is suspiciously similar to Priss S. Asagiri. But Sei is not Priss, and Jill is not Sylia, and Dorothy is not Dorothy (Big O); the Red Comet is doing suplexes but not dropping colonies. Those are simply names. Y'know how it's a little awkward and frustrating that autistic characterization is so often only robots/constructs, but also it's really cool because beep boop robot? Y'ever think, what we need is exactly as many autistic robots but also some autistic humans? VA-11 Hall-A has got it covered. Y'know how it sucks sometimes that autistic rep is either characters who have totally got it together, found their niche, and it'd be nice to have better representation for us total disasters whose lives suck? VA-11 Hall-A has that covered too. It's time to mix drinks and change lives.

Relaxing
Very relaxing. Yeah, maybe it lacks action. Maybe it's almost completely linear. But it really helps to relax after a long work day.

???
My girlfriend and I were doing shots, listening to "Is This Love" by Whitesnake, and spoke to a 13 year old sex bot. Then we made her a drink. If that sounds good, this is your game.

A Thought
I could echo the praises everyone else is singing, but I wouldn't contribute anything new. What I do have to say relates to how I read this story. After the first few in-game days (as the story is broken into) I decided to read only one day of story and wait a real-time week before reading another day, like watching a TV show. This got me thinking about episodic games; most of them fail because they try to be a polished, 3D, have significant gameplay, voice acting, etc. Requiring modeling, animation, level design, scripting, voice recording, bug testing, etc., and trying to get this all done in a month or two. I'm not a connoisseur of visual novels, so maybe someone could contradict me here, but why hasn't anyone tried an episodic VN? Va-11 Hall-A for example, while I think it's better to have released as a whole game, could have worked well this way. 2D barely animated sprites (which are beautiful by the way), barely any gameplay, and no voice acting as most VNs have is a much more realistic goal to make every two weeks or a month or so. I think my routine of waiting between breaks in the narrative really enhances the story. It keeps me thinking about the game during the week and excites me to read more. It's more achievable and better compels the reader, so why aren't VN writers employing this tactic?
