funny short game to satiate the VA11HallA addiction, although the hidden password's sequence is inverted for some reason, thought I was going insane missing the last Anna apparition, nope, just the password
EDIT: I found the solution. If you extract the zip on (presumably non-Japanese) Windows 7, it changes the font file name to some gibberish, renaming it to ちはやゴシック.tff fixes it.
I'm getting this error on Windows 7:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Thanks for this! I've got to admit, I replayed this several times, and I've found Anna at 4 or 5 places at least, but still couldn't find the password, before I lost my will to try again.
Yeah, that's the first occasion. After that, I remember her popping up in the Base, that's for sure. Just keep going to places that are NOT your goal, and looking at/talking to everything and everyone multiple times before you go to your next objective.

i love Dana Zane™
Fun simple visual novel. Also really like the artstyle, thats kinda what made me want to play this.
also that disclaimer is very silly
Here's hoping for an official Android release please.
Also, for anyone wondering, yes it does work in joiplay
oh my god...crying jill is so cute........
your disclaimer reads a little like "all characters are over 18, even if the game makes it obvious at least one isn't"
thats still weird as hell but ok...
I have no prior experience with VA-11 Hall-A, but I did play it all the way to the end. I guess that counts for something...
this is such a cute and awesome game!
and funny
Missed oportunity to call the game "VA-11 Hall-A Q"
Great game btw.
such a rare sight, a persona q reference...
Great game. The sprites were cute and Loved the music.
Took forever to find every Anna appearance for the password....
so cute and maybe good enough for fan-service game :)
Sometimes I wonder how you guys get the sense of japanese maniac style, lol
what a nice game. the crying jill is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so what is the dam keyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
i need the keyyyyyyyyy!
weird cool
I AM THE LAW
Any way we could get a dump of all the character sprites? Wanna make a background with everyone's cute younger selves!
This might be slap stick comedy but, it's a great game!

If this is a teaser, looks cool!
Thanks for this! I've got to admit, I replayed this several times, and I've found Anna at 4 or 5 places at least, but still couldn't find the password, before I lost my will to try again.
Where else does she pop up? I only find her in the auditorium!
Yeah, that's the first occasion. After that, I remember her popping up in the Base, that's for sure. Just keep going to places that are NOT your goal, and looking at/talking to everything and everyone multiple times before you go to your next objective.
Thank you!
you can get stuck in infinite loop with dana talking to herself when trying to talk to someone at the base when no one's there
otherwise - it was fun and crying jill is just too cute
Yes, and it's the same with looking, if I remember correctly.
