Ren'Py - Abandoned - The DeLuca Family [Season 1] [HopesGaming]

Waaay to much grinding to get anything. Yet another game that you will probably have to wait a year before anything good happens. Which is sad because the character models rock. The story is funky and idk if its me or if its just hard to get into. I hope this dev proves me wrong and this game turns out to be a gem.

Exceptionally written visual novel with interesting characters, funny jokes and surprisingly interesting setting. The game is so good I barely even noticed almost total absence of sexual scenes. Grind for money doesnt seem like that of a grind, there are quite a number of stats to occupy yourself with and... oh play it already!

This game by far has one of the best story lines ever. There are a lot things I like about this game. Like the "Thoughts" the i find really hilarious, the characters are all very interesting, Uncle Wilfred is really funny. The missions could be better by probably adding a picture or two for each mission. Great job all in all. Leaving the 5th star rating blank for further updates and improvements. Kudos to the developer.

There's just no adult content here. This may become a great game, but as it stands now the MC is a connoisseur of fine wines, a stealthy, murderous soldier in an ancient mob family with a dark past, a heavily foreshadowed future and the sexual experience of a 12 year old.

The writing is good, the art is very good, the originality is nice but damn after a good successful mission shouldn't there be someone wiling to give me a handjob? Even if I have to do it myself?

This game has an amazing story, is a lot of fun, funny and has realistic progression of characters. This is one of the best games ok the site and along the lines of progression that I have been looking for!

A fun story outside of the usual run of the mill, gotta screw everyone even my family, with fun characters and a great look. Luna and Wilfred are the best, and the mystery behind the main characters dad drives you along perfectly.

The Deluca Family is a well written, plot driven game. The characters each have unique personalities, and there's much more going on than 'get the girl nekkid and fill her with bodily fluids'. The ecchi content is an added BONUS -I would play this even if there was NO adult content.

Although I haven't quite finished this game I can tell you that it is different from in many ways. Yes the story and graphics are top of the hill. @hopesgaming has done something that I haven't seen in any other game. It is so well written that you want to save when you have a choice just to try them all to see how they are written even though there comes a point where the dev gives you not a clue but a no brainer choice that there is not doubt which is the right choice. Is one of the funniest games on here that I have played. It's a fun game to grind out a good bank roll because you know immediately that there is nothing else to do until you "advance the story" which the dev also provides a very clear way to do, a "continue" button is on every screen to use when the time is right. The transition from part to part of the story is smooth and very entertaining and well worth the time it takes to navigate it.

Since there is nothing I can find that isn't excellent I have to give it a 5.

Have to talk about v 0.5. It is by far the best update @hopesgaming has done so far. If this update doesn't pull at your heart strings then I can only wonder if you are alive. Everything I said before is still true and more. Still the best game by far on F95, hands down. This a 5+ star game.

The DeLuca Family is not your typical porn game; this is an adult novel featuring a very original story and even more original (and quirky XD ) characters that are unlike those found in the vast majority of games of this genre. The writing is very funny and every dialogue is entertaining and well written but make no mistake, there are a lot of serious moments as well and the way the writing manages to shift from funny moments to more serious ones is one the things that I love the most about this game. The renders are great and they seem to use assets that I can't recognize from other games (another plus point ); the soundtrack is also spot on and very suited to the atypical atmosphere of this game. If you are looking for an adult game different from any other than go play The DeLuca Family!

The story is intriguing, and there are far too few games and VNs out there centered in Mafia world, and I'm happy that HopesGaming has managed to capitalize on it and make a great adult Mafia VN with an intriguing story, with great characters and beautiful models and renders are amazing as well.

Been keeping my eyes on this VN since the first release and I sure as hell will keep following it, it's one of my favorite VNs

This game has such promise! I love the weirdo quirky characters, and the game play is pretty fabulous, with just the right amount of grind to earn things.

Renders are above average, models are not generic russian types, and they have crazy things like actual facial expressions!

One of the most endearing traits of this game is how completely gonzo the characters are. This adds an immersive lovability to things most games lack.

Keep up the excellent work! heck, faster please if you can!

This game is all in one.
suspense, romance, action and comedy.
a must play game.
nice and different story with beautiful girls.
liked the concept of missions where you don't have to go on mission to earn money.
buy weapons and stuff.

It is well written, I like the stories behind the characters (so far) and how the music matches each scene.

The girls are really cute and I love how they are not like flat or empty.

It gives you the feeling of making the best choices or you will end up with a shot in the head

A top notch story, with characters that are very well written and are different, with their own unique personality. I also love the fact that it doesn't immediately jump to lewd scenes and actually makes you as a player work for the reward of getting close and personal with them.

The art is just amazing and the best thing is the characters unique personalities, like Luna (my new waifu :3). The game has lots to develop but i can already tell that it's going to be a great game.

Note: Rating this as a v.0.02, so no demerits for limited sexual content.

The story and renders have been covered by other reviews (they're great), so I wanted to focus on DeLuca's real triumph:

It is easily the most user friendly game I've played in recent months. It has quests, a quest log, active quest tracking (which shows up on the left column of the nav page), very easy navigation, and a big ass "Continue" button for advancing the story. Other games should give this one a long look for elements that would help their ease of use.

Great game which changed the concept of most adult games, the focus is on the story and gameplay elements and you can keep playing without advancing the main plot if you feel like it. The renders look great and the developer has a great passion for his project. If he keeps the game as good as it is now he will have a great future in this industry.

A very nice start indeed! The story is fresh and intriguing and the characters are interesting. One of the very few games where it didn't matter that erotic content was scarce. Looking forward to new updates!

Beautiful game, exciting characters, unique design, thats all you need to have a perfect game. I really like this game and i hope there will be much more develop in the future.
Its a bit different than other games because of the style, and the atmotphere.

The story line is a fresh new and constructive way of creating this type of game. This game has quality rendering as well. The developer has done an excellent job and i will be looking forward to the updates and continuance to the game.
