Introduction:
Welcome to VA-11 HALL-A, the Cyberpunk Bartending Action game! Originally developed by Sukeban Games and published by Ysbryd Games in 2016 on Steam, followed by a Vita release in November 2017, courtesy of Wolfgame. You are Julianne Stingray (Or Jill, as she prefers to be called), a bartender that works at a small bar in Glitch City called VA-11 HALL-A, which is a popular place for those that are the "most fascinated" people in the city.
This game simulates the everyday life and job of a bartender at a local bar, such as mixing and blending ingredients to create new drinks, serving customers, and talking to them as they talk to Jill about any new and/or life experiences they've had; combined with the common elements found in visual novels, such as multiple endings, character interactions, and even multiple save points so players can achieve all possible endings within two playthroughs.
You should also keep in mind that unlike most M-rated games on Vita, VA-11 HALL-A is locked under parental controls and cannot be played unless they are disabled, which means that you will need to go into the parental controls on your Vita and disable the restriction for games before you start playing it.
Walkthrough:
Step 1: First playthrough (Good, Virgilio's, and Dorothy's Endings, and Cameo characters)
In your first full playthrough of the game, you should go for the good ending as you keep Jill focused on her work, help her pay bills, interact with the three cameo characters, unlock Virgilio's and Dorothy's endings, and not spend cash on any other items that she may not need from JC Elton's. Make sure to create a separate save file when Jill goes on her break on Day 17, so you can reload that save when you choose to go for the bad ending on the next day.
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
Welcome to VA-11 HALL-A
G'evening
I know what I said
Flawless Service
Coming right up
Caci… que? (MISSABLE)
Time to mix drinks and change lives
Underappreciated drink
Did you miss me?

Please come again
Step 2: Reload your Day 17 save in Jill's room, spend money on items Jill didn't need and get the bad ending
After you have obtained the good ending, as well as Virgilio's and Dorothy's endings, you will now need to load up your Day 17 save in Jill's room provided if the save you made during Jill's break period is separate from this one. If it is, then load it back up, spend money on any items you didn't purchase the first time around from JC Elton's, and buy wall paint and tablecloth from the Nanocamo app to ensure that she does not pay the bill for her rent to get the bad ending.
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
Cozy hell (MISSABLE)
So unnecessary
Living with style
Step 3: New Game + playthrough (Get all Flawless Service bonuses and remaining Character Endings) and Cleanup
Once you have obtained the bad ending, you should now load up the New Game + save you have created at the end of your first playthrough (It doesn't matter if the save is from after you get either the good or bad ending, but I recommend doing so from the latter). If you have missed any trophies on your first playthrough of the game, such as Alma's and *Kira* Miki's character endings, all flawless service bonuses, etc.; then you can go for unlocking them in this playthrough.
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
Welcome back!
