Criminal Girls[lower-alpha 1] is a role-playing video game series developed by Imageepoch and published by Nippon Ichi Software.

The game was remade for PlayStation Vita as Criminal Girls: Invite Only, and NIS America published it in the West, a later release was made for Microsoft Windows on Steam. A sequel entitled Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors was released in 2015. The "unabashedly risqué Japanese games" were controversially censored for their western releases, by "stripping the sound and obscuring the action".[1]
