''Wicked Lawless Love'' is a RomanceGame VisualNovel by [[Creator/VoltageInc Voltage Entertainment USA]], released through their ''Creator/{{Lovestruck}}'' app for [=iOS=] and Android devices. It debuted as a pilot in January 2020 with two available routes, and was confirmed for a full series in late February.

The story takes place on an alternate world, in a setting not unlike the [[TheWildWest American Old West]]. The heroine, an outlaw from the big city of New Amster, has fled west into the remote reaches of the Sono Territory, home to the town of Wisp Willow.

Out on the frontier, there's much to discover. A world of the supernatural living right under humanity's nose. The Ward, a secretive organization that tasks itself with the watching of said Otherworld. Her own true nature, the key to the streak of bad luck that follows her everywhere.

And in the midst of it all, a romance that pulls her deeper into the world of the unknown.

* AwkwardSilenceEntrance: The Wisp Willow townsfolk are respectful yet wary of Cecelia. In her first season, the heroine enters the saloon with her, and everyone freezes. Only once she takes a seat do they relax.

* BoyMeetsGhoul: The love interests include a ghost and a vampire.

* EvilPoacher: Nathan's first season involves tangling with a band of poachers who are after a herd of trihorns.

* HerBoyfriendsJacket: In Nathan's route, as he and the heroine ride back to town after their first encounter, he gives her his jacket to keep warm in the desert night.

* IstanbulNotConstantinople: The heroine comes from New Amster, which seems to be the setting's equivalent of New York.

'''Cecelia:''' Not--protocol!!
* SilverHasMysticPowers: Silver can harm supernatural creatures including ghosts and vampires. It is employed both by and against the Ward, such as in the form of {{Silver Bullet}}s or daggers.
