5''"Once upon a time, I met a prince... the [[FourOneNineScam Prince of Nigeria]]. Throughout his lovely poetry and wonderful serenades of emails, I couldn't help but fall in love with him.

7Horai Owen is perhaps not the brightest girl, nor has she had the best luck with relationships. Fortunately, she and her ex-boyfriend Zak are still on good terms, thanks in part to the fact that Zak [[CargoShip is actually her laptop]]. But Horai is about to enter a new relationship with a mysterious and charming prince who has contacted her by email. But being in love with a prince isn't easy, especially when money and politics get involved...

14!! This visual novel provides examples of:
15%% * FourOneNineScam: The basis of the story.
16* AmicableExes: Horai still gets along with her ex-boyfriend... uh... [[CargoShip Zak]].
17%% * AloofDarkHairedGirl: [[spoiler:The real Horai]].
18* BlandNameProduct: Gmail and Ymail become Hmail and Zmail respectively. Also Zak is a Hamsung brand laptop. [[spoiler:[[Website/{{Cracked}} Cracked.com]] becomes Macked.com, and [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] becomes Right Imagay]].
19%% * BrainyBrunette: [[spoiler:The real Horai]].
20%% * CapsLock: The Prince of Nigeria apparently forgot how to turn his off...
21%% * CargoShip: In-Universe, Horai x Zak (her laptop).
22* ContentWarnings: The novel opens with a warning that it requires that you have prior knowledge of Nigerian scams to some extent and that it's only for those aged 0 and above, as it contains instances of deliberately horrible grammar and spelling, as well as capslock spam. "LIKE THIS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED."
23%% * DeadpanSnarker: [[spoiler:The real Horai]].
24* EarnYourBadEnding: The novel gives the player three chances to give in and give all account numbers to Prince Apara before proceeding with the bad ending.
25* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:Rich Hastley of Music/RickAstley, in the epilogue]].
26%% * TheFaceless: The Prince of Nigeria.
27* GenreSavvy: The [[spoiler:real Horai Owen, who knows all about 419 scams and scambaiting and who turns Rich Hastley's scambot into entertainment for the readers of Macked.com]]
28%% * IdiotHair: Horai.
29%% * {{Metaphorgotten}}: Horai does this very often. Played for laughs.
30%% * MoodWhiplash: The main game and the epilogue.
31* MultipleEndings: Has a good ending and a bad ending. However, the epilogue suggests that [[spoiler:the good ending is "canon" as the bit about Horai watching $5,000 being withdrawn from her bank account is shown as the ending of her article.]]
32%% * ObfuscatingStupidity: Horai, [[spoiler:in all of her articles]].
33%% * PsychoExGirlfriend: [[spoiler:Horai in the Bad Ending]].
34%% * RomanceGame: Hilariously parodied.
35* SelfDeprecation: In the game, Soyasushi Productions appears as an ad on the right hand side and Horai said it might be an ad for gay porn or sushi recipes.
36* ShoutOut: One of Horai's [[spoiler:articles]], "How to Prolong Your Life Against a Goddamn Psycho Girl" features a thumbnail image that looks like [[VisualNovel/CrimsonRafflesia Sho Reilen]].
37%% * {{Yandere}}: Horai, PlayedForLaughs in the Bad Ending.
