N1RV Ann-A (full title N1RV Ann-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action) is an upcoming indie visual novel and bartending simulation developed by Sukeban Games, and published by Ysbryd Games and Playism. It is a sequel to the 2016 visual novel VA-11 Hall-A. The game takes place in an upscale bar in Saint Alicia, an "idyllic tourist paradise" and artificial island with a seedy, dystopian underbelly of crime. The main character, Sam, must care for her 8-year-old son while her relationship with her partner Leon, who moonlights as a yakuza, is faltering.
The game was initially announced on September 18, 2018, for a 2020 release on PC, MacOS, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. While highly anticipated, it was later delayed indefinitely due to creative differences and development burnout. This resulted in a "reset" of the project, and it is being worked on alongside other side projects at the studio.
