Half in the Bag: The Visual Novel (Fangame)
A downloadable game for Windows
A mysterious VHS tape with a Black Spine has landed on your doorstep, and as you dust off your old VCR to watch it you find that it's not working ! Oh my Gawwwdd! But don't worry, the boys at Lightning Fast VCR are here to help ! (Or are they........)
Full Gameplay (All 4 Endings): ~40 minutes
Content Warnings: Foul Language, Lots of irresponsible drinkin', Adult jokes. Every other page or so the screen briefly transitions to white which is why it's recommended to either play during the day or to lower the brightness of your screen.
And the last big warning: This is a fangame. If you don't know Redlettermedia/ Half in the Bag it'll be harder to play.
Bug report: - SAVE at least once before getting to any of the endings or it may not record the Ending as Done !
- When loading a save there’s no background...I couldn’t fix that. The background should be back after a couple dialogue lines.

found this by chance in someone's tumblr pinned post. very delightful and fun to play. absolutely captured the spirit and feel of half in the bag
Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment, glad you enjoyed it !
This visual novel was nice, short and I learned a little bit about star trek. Nice.
First of all thank you so so much for taking your time and looking through it I appreciate it !! I was really surprised to see a playthrough of it ?!? But also I'm so so sorry you had to witness it because it's a mess in terms of references that not everyone might get and it doesn't explain itself on that front at all. I'm fully aware of that. If I ever make another game - I'll keep that better in mind.
I liked it for what it is. I've never watched Star Trek but it was fun. Best of luck in future games/developments.
