Valhalla is lighter on interaction than I thought but it's been laid back and fun so far. Soundtrack really elevates the setting, and then scanlines round off the PC engine facade. It's a beautiful thing.

(Posted this on Twitter already, but it fits!)

Please keep trying for a Switch release - would be extremely successful IMO, as this thread probably already shows.


It's worth picking up on Vita at its price - I've personally already gotten it on PC, and will be getting the LRG Physical edition as well. (Plus whatever version ends up being released for Switch, fingers crossed.)

It's wonderful to be even a small part of your journey - here's hoping you can make many more games, both like and unlike VA11 HALL-A. You've got my support on whatever platform you end up releasing it on.

+1!
Got this and 2064 on Steam, would double dip for sure.

I'll echo this.

I have the game on Steam but I'll buy it in a heartbeat if it drops on Switch. Mixing drinks in bed with that sweet soundtrack in the background = Awesome.

Of all the ways to port beg, highlighting portability in a thread about the portable release of a game is... Interesting.

Anyway, still waiting for European release. Hope it comes soon!

I'm surprised this game doesn't have an OT. I been playing it slow but sure a little bit before bed every morning since day 1. I love it so much. Ouren did such a good job.

Good to see it's out the in the US.

Here's to hoping the EU release is quick. I've waiting for the Vita release for ages!!

It seems there's a bug in the prologue, the game wants me to make two drinks at all times even when only one is requested?

(I just make the same drink twice and the story moves on, but that's obviously not the intended behaviour)

Weird. I did notice this bug and thought I fixed it. Both we and Playism even tested it. I cannot find the source of the issue. Did you patch your game? This was one of the things addressed in the patch.

I know I have at least one patch installed, dunno if more than one were deployed?

In case this helps reproducing here's some more details on where I was:
- I have gotten the good ending and Gaby is now showing up on the title screen
- Then I have quit and relaunched the game since then
- Before doing the prologue I did the Anna->Demo and Anna->Start modes. Maybe one of them messed up the state? I think that's the most likely culprit.

The end of the credits sat there for minutes no matter what I pressed and I almost freaked out. Then it just went away and the endings showed up.
It was a super fun ride! Will take some time off to finish some other games and then come back for the rest of the trophies and more Bad Touches.

Same here. I still have only 32% trophy completion rate so I assume there's still a lot of stuff I haven't seen yet.

The ending is how they designed it :P

Yea weird. Sorry about the prologue bug, I fixed part of it, but the other part is just un-knowable. Thanks for the report though~!

This game could really really use a "smart skip" feature that skips only text you've already seen. I've started a New Game + and already on the second day I've accidentally skipped over a different scene from my first playthrough.

I don't think I'll have the patience to try and get all endings because of that (and following a guide kinda sucks away the fun).

You can use Triangle+R to skip text. There is no smart skip unfortunately.

So I decided to get this yesterday I will play it during Christmas vacation it looks really interesting and the style of old Japanese computer like X68000 games is awesome.

At this point the unbearable wait for the NA/EU physical edition continues. Each time I've reached out to LRG it's been radio silence.

I don't think it's coming out anytime soon, I don't get where people are getting the info that'd be released in December.
Limited Run claimed back in late October that their English release would launch around the same window as the Japanese version. A few other details about a probable collector's edition was mentioned in the same string of messages on Twitter, too.

A delay doesn't surprise me one bit, I never expected a physical release to ship in 2017, specially since Ouren will have to figure out how to make a new build with the patch for the physical release.

Can I just... buy this or is it a Limited Run Game? Because, honestly while I think the idea of LRG is great, I got fed up with getting stressed on release, then waiting on my games several weeks all while paying super high transportstion costs.

And Im not interested is special editions anyways...

PS: TheNotoriousAFG the screens look dope!

fake edit: I just realize Im probably super late? Is this game still available? English or japanese doesn't matter (I do not buy Vita games digitally, however)

The Limited Run Games release isn't out yet, you're good there. If you want a japanese physical copy, you can order one online on several retailers, but that doesn't come with english language support.

Sorry to bump this, but I just wanted to share how much I'm enjoying this game. I had my eyes on it ever since I first saw screenshots of it, I mean cyberpunk aesthetic, great pixel art and Metal Gear and Snatcher references? That's definitely my thing. But the fact that the devs often joked about it being a "waifu game" and people only ever talking about the music (which admittedly is fucking fantastic) put me a bit off

The Vita port was too tempting though so I pretty much got it day 1 when it finally released and man, what a great decision that was. Not only is the game extremely aesthetically pleasing (that scanline filter is such a treat) and has a great atmosphere, but the writing is surprisingly good and the humor is so nice (and not too frequent, which makes it better IMO) that I'm pretty much in love with it. After the prologue and demo I was sure I was going to enjoy the ride, but I had no idea I would end up so invested in these characters and their lives; Dana, many of the regulars and especially Jill herself are so great and relatable.

Also shout out to Ouren for the great port. I hadn't played the game at all so I underestimated the work it'd need to be playable on other platforms, but it works do well on Vita that one would think it started as the target platform. Here's hoping it can make it to other consoles in the future because I'd love to recommend this game to more people.

Quick question: How do I swap between slots while making drinks?

First time I've had to make two drinks and I'm struggling to do so. The game says to press next after the first mix to make the second, but I can't find a way to do so.

Still going through it on PC (I'm a bit slow), but man, some of y'all newcomers are in for a treat. Definitely one of my favorite experiences of 2016.

I've been playing this on pc and just started a new game + is there a spoiler free walk-through for this or do I not need one?


I actually thought I finished the game, only booted it up today after doing the Meltdown / Windows update to see if everything works ok lol.
