As indie as it gets
It's just like Jonathan Blow said. Indie games are personal and specific things, rather than polished and fail-safe products made for the masses. VA-11 Hall-A is exactly the opposite of a mass-marketable product. And the few things that it does are very well executed. And in this case it's perfectly okay when a game becomes boring after a 2 hour session. It's meant to be. You're supposed to come back once in a while and experience another day in Jill's life as a bartender. VA-11 Hall-A is packed with lovely, creepy, odd and funny characters. And all there is for you to do is read the conversations and play the drink-mixing minigame. Aside from bartending there isn't much to do except hang out in your little apartment, do some shopping or follow the latest news on Kira-Miki (KIRA! MIKI! AAAAH!!!). Not sure what the hype about Kira-Miki is all about. The excellent ingame-music renders her (almost) completely obsolete. Every once in a while the game treats you with a little suprise, breathing fresh air into your otherwise repetitive life as a bartender. If you're into retro-gaming, original storytelling, pixel-art or anime, this might be just the thing for you. Don't expect to finish this game on a rainy weekend, cause it's best enjoyed over a longer period of time. The only thing I'd like to see added to an otherwise fantastic title is GOG Galaxy functionality like cloud saves, achievements and such.
