RE: Prince of Nigeria

About

RE Prince of Nigeria is a visual novel that turns a familiar scam into a twisted romantic comedy. You follow a relationship between the player and a charming but deceptive Nigerian prince whose messages are less "once upon a time" and more phishing scheme. The story unfolds through email exchanges, poetry, and increasingly absurd attempts to navigate a romance built on lies. Expect a mix of awkward dialogue, over-the-top declarations of love, and the slow realization that this prince isn’t looking to save anyone. The game stands out for its deadpan take on a real-world scam, blending cringe humor with dark twists. It leans into the absurdity of the situation without overexplaining, letting the irony speak for itself. With a runtime under two hours, it’s a quick but memorable dive into how easily desire can cloud judgment. Available on PC, Mac, and Linux since 2013, it remains a niche pick for those who enjoy satire with a side of heartbreak.
