Criminally Yours
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
You're the next generation of heroes—"Oracle," given to your mother and you for your ability to see glimpses into the future.
The only thing that stands in your way of keeping peace in the city is the supervillain "Chronos".
When you aren't protecting the city from Chronos, you're just an average, everyday civilian working as a project manager with your long-time crush, Nikolaos.
Little do you know that Nikolaos knows your secret, but you don't know his—that he and Chronos are one and the same.
Please Note: If you don't replay through Part 1, you will encounter game-breaking bugs.

OMG I LOVE IT AND I LOVE NIKOLAOS SO MUCH!!! To be honest i saw this game so much but i never try it out but today i did and i so happy it turn out so good more than i expect even just free version and you guys put a lot effort into it. I also end up buy the dlc mask on, maybe this just a bit because i was on low right now but i hope you guys have a good day and i love to see more game like this from your studio ᕙ(`▽´)ᕗ
The game is rlly good, js played through it. BUT. UH. When I went back to the content warnings doc to compare, I ACCIDENTALLY REQUESTED ACCESS. PLEASEPLEASE IGNORE THAT DEAR DEVS!!!😭😭😶😶🌫️
This is by far one of the best games I've played on itch.io!!! Thank you so much for creating and developing such an amazing game and I hope that you continue to make many more<3
Hii the Android link some how doesn't appear
Like a breath of fresh air! thank you!
Thats Tim Drake???
i actually loved this game so much, it’s like the best game i’ve ever played.
I LOVED IT!!!! i couldn't resist an bought boht dlc's i had so much fun
Hello I bought the summer sale bundle but it didn’t include the Wes dlc :(( only the mask on dlc, perhaps I misunderstood what was included in the bundle?? I also had the same problem with carved in stone, the bundle only gave me access to the free version and I ended up buying the expansion separately. I just want to make sure I understand what’s included in the bundle before I purchase anything else.
Huh, that’s strange. :o The devs said in a reply below that the bundle contains the Wes DLC.
Thanks for your comment. I think I’ll hold off making any purchases until further confirmation/clarification.
It should be included I did a bundle last month with no issues. Can you send a screenshot of what files that are included with the purchase? You should be able to access it easily in your library. I’ll be happy get you keys and/or a refunds if necessary, please feel free to email meanttobeestudios@gmail.com for further assistance.
thank you for the reply, I’ll email you the proof :))
Hi, I see that the game is part of your summer sale bundle right now, but isn’t the (base) game free? Or is the DLC with Wes included in the bundle?
It’s the DLC, our base game is free if you’d like to try it out beforehand.
Thank you for your quick reply!
Sorry for the question, but does the steam version include the Mask On Dlc or only the Paid Version of the base game?
No need to apologize. It does not. Mask On DLC its own thing to avoid censorship. Only paid version of base game is on Steam.
Great thank you!
What is the difference between this version and the steam version? I bought it on steam before learning of Itch.io.
The DLC version and the Steam version are the same. Apologies for the confusion.
It's all good. I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the quick reply
son
Alguien dígame cómo pagar los juegos 😭😭
THIS IS JUST.....YES
Lo traducirán a español?
I thought this was fully voiced? I got to around chapter 11/12 and the voice lines stopped.
The paid version/DLC is fully voice acted and includes Wes’ route.
OMG I love this game! Bought it just yesterday and I've already replayed it like four times already. Nik is the best boy omg I love him so much <3 LOVE his voice and especially his Chronos voice with the mask on like hoooooooooo mamaa *o*
Not gonna lie, I struggled to get through Wes's route cause Nik is just THE BEST and the way our MC broke his heart was just so cruel ;-; no hate or anything, I was just so blown away by Nik I feel like no other love interest is ever gonna compare to him!
Also, I read there was a part 3 in the works omg!!! I couldn't get enough of Nik in this game and I'm actually so excited to see more *-*
Love love love this work, thank you to all the lovely devs and writers <3
hey! I love your game the demo was so good, I really want to get the paid version but PayPal dosent work where I’m from so is there another option please
You can purchase on Steam if that works better.
havent finished the game yet but Hawt damnnn Wes T-T Nik nearly had me until you stepped onto the scene
The amount of times i giggled while kicking my feet omg I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VISUAL NOVEL LIKE I AM UNABLE TO DESCRIBE HOW OBSESSED I AM!</3
He jugado los primeros 14 capitulos y lo amé, aunque esté en un idioma que ni hablo, no pude evitar querer jugarlo, la sinopsis me atrapó (me encantan los mundos de superhéroes) y me gustó tanto que me lo voy a comprar.
My, I've been trying to get the Android download but it just doesn't appear, I must ask why is that, and if that can be fixed, thank u.
I honestly love this game. it's fun and i love the voice acting in it.
Una pregunta esta en español la versión de Android?
Alguien que me pueda decir si la versión para Android si funciona para comprarla
How tf do I get onto the phone version I have watched like 20 tutorials and they didn’t work like I’m not trying to sound like rude but how
I had a great time playing this, looking forward to updates!
How to get the good Wes route no glue no borax..
hi i am dumb fart head! didn't notice a walkthrough was posted...lol
In the free version, will Nik be the only voiced character or will there be a certain chapter where it cuts off?
i know this might sound a bit corny, but Nik's story reminds me so, so much of one of my closest friends in life. my good friend and honorary older brother figure is a domestic abuse survivor with moderate to severe anxiety, and what saved him was also music. i don't think he would be alive today if it weren't for music. albeit, it was specifically cello and music composition that saved him... their stories still feel so similar to me. this game is very near and dear to me because of that, and i love what the devs have done with this beautiful game. i recommend Criminally Yours to all my friends who play visual novels for its scrumptious writing, thrilling romances, and absolutely beautiful storyline! C:
Its not corny at all.
As a fellow Pianist + Painter I truely value art. I like to believe that the act of creation, is art in itself. Art is the expression of emotions & feelings regardless of shape or form. We are all artists, the medium of performing it may differ from person to person (In your case it was cello/music).
I hope whoever he is, is doing well and so are you, as well as anyone else reading this.
this is gen so yummy... im legit saving up 4 the dlc because i literally need more nik content
I’m trying to figure out how to play the game rn anybody know how to get onto the play screen thing I would ask anyone I live with but they would think I’m a weirdo
please, make a spanish version :
guys i bought the dlc but it keeps on showing error screens. how do i fix it? i already played throught the og game but when i play the dlc it just crashes.
It’s most likely trying to load your files from the original game. I’d advise playing the DLC from the very beginning and don’t reload saves.
Ugh I love this game SO much. The ending where we both we're criminals was so sad though... that poor mom. I finally got the DLC one so I'm SOOOO going for Thesis. Thank you for this amazing game! <3
Hello!
Greetings!
This was fantastic!!! It has a lot of chapters to enjoy, i loved it so much!!11<3 the voice acting was impeccable, Nik's voice is... *bites lip
I wanted to play, but since I'm on Android and need to buy it, I'm worried it won't be available in another language. Could you tell me if it's available in Spanish or Portuguese? Or is it only available in English?
Criminally Yours is only available in English, however our lovely friend Oliver played the entirety of the game in Spanish https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvNS4k8js0AzaJab4_p1_zwhIwayHUIk6&si=VOzTdAAoXuKnLwln
Could you (or someone else) translate this game into Portuguese, please? It seems amazing, but being only available in English makes it difficult for Portuguese speakers (or speakers of other languages) who don’t understand English very well (like me). Thank you!
Hello, is this going to be discounted on itch.io as well? Thank you
