Criminal Girls - Invite Only

Game Overview

In Criminal Girls: Invite Only, players take on the duty of a Program Instructor assigned to the Hell Reformation Facility. Seven young women—known as "Delinquents"—have been sent to Hell due to the sins they were destined to commit before their lives ended prematurely. To earn a second chance at life, these souls must climb the perilous floors of Hell's tower, battle demonic hordes, and overcome their inner flaws.

The game combines classic gridless dungeon crawling with a dynamic turn-based combat system. During battle, team members propose their own preferred actions each turn based on their personalities and current skill levels. Rather than picking from a traditional menu, players select the most effective proposal among the four active party members on screen. Outside of battle, progression relies heavily on the "Motivation" system—interactive disciplinary minigames utilizing the PS Vita's touchscreen controls to build trust with the girls, unlocking new combat abilities, passive stat boosts, and joint attack techniques. With added story content, new playable characters, and refined mechanics over the original PSP release, Invite Only is a comprehensive RPG package for the PS Vita.
