Criminal Girls: Invite Only is a Japanese role-playing game developed by Imageepoch and published by Nippon Ichi Software. It was released for the PlayStation Vita in Japan in 2013 and in North America and Europe in 2015. The game is an enhanced version of the original Criminal Girls game, which was released for the PlayStation Portable in 2010.
Story
Criminal Girls: Invite Only follows the story of a group of seven girls who have been sent to Hell for their crimes. The girls are given a chance to redeem themselves by climbing the Tower of Reincarnation. If they can reach the top of the tower, they will be reincarnated into a new life.
The girls are each representing a different vice:
- Akechi Maria: Sloth
- Aoki Yui: Gluttony
- Chitose Nanami: Lust
- Hongou Yuka: Greed
- Hoshino Saki: Pride
- Makino Tsubaki: Envy
- Satonaka Risa: Wrath
The girls are all very different, but they must learn to work together if they want to survive the Tower of Reincarnation. The tower is filled with dangerous monsters and traps, and the girls will need to use all of their skills to overcome them.
Gameplay
Criminal Girls: Invite Only is a turn-based JRPG. The player controls a party of up to three girls and must battle their way through the Tower of Reincarnation. The battle system is unique in that the player does not directly control the girls’ actions. Instead, the player gives the girls orders, and they will then carry them out.
The girls’ orders are based on their personality and their current mood. For example, a girl who is feeling lazy may not want to attack, while a girl who is feeling angry may want to attack more aggressively. The player must carefully consider the girls’ orders in order to maximize their effectiveness in battle.
In addition to battling, the player must also manage the girls’ needs. The girls need to eat, sleep, and socialize in order to stay healthy and happy. The player must also train the girls in order to improve their stats and abilities.
Characters
The seven girls in Criminal Girls: Invite Only are all very different, but they all have one thing in common: they are all criminals. Each girl has her own unique backstory and motivations, and the player learns more about them as the game progresses.
