“I can get bored of visual novels easily, but not this one. The bartending mini game kept me engaged, the music kept me in a trance, and the characters/world/story kept me coming back. There's so much to discover about…”

“[i] It's time to make drinks and change lives! [/i] The whole premise of the game is serving drinks in a futuristic bar almost taken out of Cyberpunk 2099. There's a lot of dialogue, a lot of drinks, a minigame to bash…”

“I'll be honest, I slowed my PC's framerate down to 20 for that last achievement. I wasn't built for bullet hells. But the rest of the game? 10/10 masterpiece. N1RV Ann-A when???”

“I knew the game was excellent when I finished it and felt an odd longing. "Wow, it's over. I can't be a part of this story anymore"”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“By far one of my biggest comfort games. Have been waiting since 2022 for N1RV-ANNA to come out, but with no news on the horizon, I keep coming back to this game and replaying it. Even if the news won't come, I'll never stop mixing drinks and changing lives!”
— a player, Steam review · 49 hrs played“A pretty chill VN that you shouldn't be playing while the sun is still out. Every play session of mine was late at night and it felt like the optimal way to enjoy the game, as well as a great wind-down before bed.”
