This conversation-centered adventure follows Jill as she makes drinks at the bar, listens to customers and goes about her life. Shopping at home, managing your balance and checking save opportunities help progression alongside mixing drinks.

Keep the PC main game separate from other content

The scope is the main game for Steam AppID 447530. English names are provided to identify the same drinks, not recipes from another game.

  1. Check that you started the main game from the title screen. Keep it separate from PROLOGUE or ANNA order lists
  2. If Japanese name spellings or long vowels differ, compare the accompanying English name and ingredient quantities
  3. Do not apply console button images or trophy-specific bugs directly to PC

This guide is based on comparing sources. It is not a record of personally replaying every conversation or a guarantee of every achievement on the latest build.

Check home → work → break → second half → home in order

You cannot save freely at any moment throughout the day. When stopping, save at home or during the break so your restart point is clear.

Check home → work → break → second half → home in order: 5 entries
StageWhat to doInformation to retain
HomeCheck Jill's thoughts, shopping, balance and manual saveDate and balance before work
Start workSet the music and listen to ordersSpecified name, flavor, size and alcohol amount
Mix drinksCheck the recipe before making it, then read the finished nameHow many drinks the order requests
BreakSave in a separate slot before the second halfWhether the save is after completing the first half
Return homeCheck results and billsIncome relative to the next payment deadline

Reading at home and selecting music are separate from opening recipes. You do not have to read everything before you can make drinks.

Distinguish a failed recipe from a drink that does not fit the order

If the finished name differs from what you intended, check the recipe. If the name is correct but the reaction differs, check the order. Changing both at once makes the cause harder to identify.

  1. Check the finished name. Ice, aging and Mix/Blend are part of the recipe as well as ingredient quantities
  2. Once you have the right drink, reread the normal/Big and alcohol requirements
  3. Distinguish flavor requests from type requests. Classic and Classy are separate categories
  4. For orders handled differently according to the date and customer even with the same drink, compare the relevant daily section

Making the correct drink, earning a service rating and triggering a particular conversation are not always the same goal.

Subtract the next bill before spending your entire balance

Do not treat sales figures as money Jill can freely spend. Distinguish income on the results screen from the balance at home.

  1. Check the next payment date and required amount in the daily walkthrough table
  2. Subtract that bill and necessary pre-work purchases from your current balance
  3. Consider only the remainder available for decorations and additional purchases
  4. If short, defer optional purchases and check recent service mistakes and your save point

This guide does not guarantee a fixed daily income. Different drinks and ratings can change the day's income and expenses.

Limit revealed answers by date

The daily walkthrough is divided by date from December 13 through 31. Other guides may differ by 1 day in their day numbering depending on whether they count the day off.

  1. Check the in-game date first
  2. Open only that day's answer
  3. If the listed order differs from the actual one, check prior alcohol amounts and conditions affecting other visitors
  4. Compare developments using a separate save without overwriting your current progress

This guide numbers December 13 as Day 1 and includes the closed day. The final date is Day 19.

FAQ

VA-11 Hall-A FAQ

Q1 Do I need a guide to progress? ▼
A

Recipes are available in the game. If you only need a drink, use the recipe table; if you need a date or specific order, use that day's closed section. You do not need to read everything first.

Q2 Can I fix a wrong drink before serving it? ▼
A

Before serving, you can remake it with Reset. To undo developments after using Serve, you need an earlier manual save.

Q3 Can I see every branch by adding more alcohol? ▼
A

Alcohol alone does not determine everything. Different conditions include drink type, responses to specific orders, purchases and payments. Specific conditions are in the daily walkthrough's closed sections.

Q4 The day count differs from another guide ▼
A

It may count the closed day differently. Match calendar dates such as December 20. This guide organizes the story into 19 days including the closed day.
