Criminal Girls: Invite Only[lower-alpha 1] is a role-playing video game developed by Imageepoch and published by Nippon Ichi Software. It was originally released as Criminal Girls[lower-alpha 2] on November 18, 2010 for PlayStation Portable, in Japan only. An enhanced port for PlayStation Vita was released in Japan on November 28, 2013, and the rest of the world in February 2015,[1] and for Steam on January 11, 2017.[2] The "unabashedly risqué Japanese game" was controversially censored for its Western release, by "stripping the sound and obscuring the action".[3]

Gameplay

Gameplay involves a lot of dungeon crawling and other RPG elements.

Reception

Legacy

A sequel entitled Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors was released in Japan on November 26, 2015, and in the rest of the world in 2016.
