You have any self-respect, you play games in a shared living room, or you believe that video game characters shouldn’t be subjected to what is essentially a BDSM-themed obedience training simulator.
Here’s an interesting, critical, and entertaining review of Criminal Girls: Invite Only – PLAZA (the cracked version of the PC port), written from the perspective of a niche JRPG enthusiast with a high tolerance for weirdness. Platform: PC (PLAZA release) Genre: Dungeon Crawler / Morality Management Sim / Button-Mashing Apology Playtime to Completion: ~25 hours (if you don’t get arrested while playing) Criminal Girls Invite Only-PLAZA
6.5/10 – Solid dungeon mechanics, unique skill progression, decent soundtrack. Final Score (as a human experience): 3/10 – You will have to answer questions you cannot un-ask. Like "Why is there a button to rub a girl's belly until she sparkles?" and "Is this what they meant by ‘gaming in 2016’?" You have any self-respect, you play games in
The crack works flawlessly. No DRM issues. But ironically, the game’s theme is about rehabilitation, so pirating a game about punishing girls for their sins feels… thematically appropriate?

You die. You wake up in Hell. But not the heavy metal, fire-and-brimstone Hell. No, this is anime Hell, where the damned are scantily-clad delinquent girls with tragic backstories and voice actors who sound perpetually out of breath. Your job, as a freshly minted "Counselor," is to guide four sinful girls through the "Halls of Correction" (read: a dungeon) to the top of a tower called "Heaven’s Gate." The catch? To make them fight effectively, you have to literally whip them into shape using a bizarre "Motivation" system. The Gameplay: Dungeon Crawling Meets a Safe Word At its core, Criminal Girls is a first-person, turn-based dungeon crawler. Think Etrian Odyssey but with more panty shots and fewer happy trees. You navigate maze-like floors, trigger random encounters, and manage HP/SP. Standard stuff. Where it goes completely off the rails is the "Motivation" (MoT) system .
