VN mode, lore entries and drops the Lucania free roam. Makes the free roam into a vn version of it since the free roam was bugged and they couldn't figure out what was causing the bug.
aaah basically perfecting what they where already partially doing. tnx

Hope to see this VN more often from now, one of my first one (since I'm on F95) and it pained me to not seen it more often.
Good stuff hope it continue.

(Any recommendation in the same type ?)

I'm the only one to have a crash when entering the name in a new save ?

script_version.txt says: (7, 4, 11). So download:

I download the SDK, start ren'pi, create a new project and when this is done drag the Game folder of the download over it and replace it. Then you can launch the project from ren'pi or build your own. I keep it in ren'pi to manage it there. I tested it and it works.
Sadly don't work on macOS with M ship as we need a version ... than run on ARM, and 7.4.11 need rosetta and I will not install it for 1 game.

Really sad

I don't usually name my saves, i just recognize the scene in the thumbnail... so i can't speak to that.

But if you want a similar mafia like game... basically Eternum (Humor) + Deluca tone, try "My Bully is My Lover". But be warned, you'll laugh at one scene and almost be brought to tears in the next. It's an emotional rollercoaster.

Wow. No.

Hard Times. Yeah, at least somewhat similar. My bully is my lover barely has anything in common with this game.

I beg to differ, but you're free to have you opinion obviously. I only mentioned it for the mafia side of the story... I don't know many mafia storyline AVNs. Both games have a ruthless portrayal of the lifestyle as well. Combined with Enternum like renders/humor. I mean it's taken from an asian culture opposed to Deluca italian culture, but i don't know... both games have shockingly ruthless moments in a mafia.

But i see your point... hard to compare them without breaking it down into a 20 page essay.

Yeah, it is hard to compare. The main character is a fast food worker worker who falls for his former bully who's mom runs a criminal organisation and he's trying to get his lover away from her mom vs. a guy who is in the mafia and hooks up with the don or donna's daughters(as is the case with this game and hard times). My bully is my lover does not have a hell of a lot in common, hard times does.

Kind of surprised you used that as an example. I mean, both of the MCs come from lowly means only to find out they both are something far more important when they enter the mafia life. Both seem to be headed toward ruling the mafia. That's an almost identical storyline minus the details.

I think this is as close as you can get to this game tbh especially because of the comedy, Tho the mafia storyline might need some more time to cook tho ive yet to play the last update.

I mean sure, if you're just taking the humor aspect only, Eternum might be slightly similar.
But I think that's where its similarities end.
Cause all in all, Eternum is a sci-fi game and not a mafia game.

Haven't played Hard Times, but description seems to fit the bill as mafia family game.
Played My Bully is my Lover couple of years before, but dropped it (dunno why, just did lol).

This thread has an extensive list (though even that I think is not necessarily accurate, for e.g. Depraved Awakening is a crime game, but isn't really a mafia game (even so, it's an excellent game though. I actually recently replayed it just cause I love Carli in that game :BootyTime: )

https://f95zone.to/threads/crime-or-mob-themed-porn-games.208606/#post-13767099

Out of the list, Alexandra, It was Raining That Night, Oath of Loyalty are the few that I played that I count as mafia games (there's more on the list that I played, but they're general crime games yet not mafia games)
Oh, and there's also Throne of Blood as well.

But having said the above, none of the other games are as good as DeLuca.
Basically, DeLuca set the "Gold Standard" for mafia games on the AVN-sphere and set the bar pretty darn high.

Which is both a good and a bad thing imo.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question...when I am playing game and go into the cheat menu am I able to increase all the points manually? is that an option for cheat mod? if it is an option I can't increase the points or skills? any help would be great thanks
The mod is for the 0.09.0 version of the game, thus not know if it will run without trouble on the Steam version.

For games similar to Deluca ask in the Recommendations & Identification, it is where those things belong. Here chance are that this is consider off-topic and may be deleted.

Oops, i wrote that poorly. I also don't see much similar with Eternum and Deluca... I meant My Bully is My lover is a combo between Eternum and Deluca. For very different reasons.
Haven't played Hard Times, but description seems to fit the bill as mafia family game.
Haven't played it either, but i'll check it out. I thought Jimayo was talking about how each game expressed 'hard times' in the MCs life :ROFLMAO:

It takes a while for the story to pick up, but once it does i was glued.

I'm rank 4 104 percent how to get promotion to solider?
Assuming that you meet all the pre-requisites (which you can see in the "Event Log" tab under "Journal" (J) button on top), go talk to Wilfred at Boss's entrance, then select "Work" (from his dialogue options), then afterwards, "Events" in the Work menu.

Soldato Promotion event should be listed there, and clicking on it should trigger it.

Oath of loyalty was trash(assuming it's the one I'm thinking of, haven't played it in years) but alexandra and it was raining that night are pretty fucking good, albeit not as good as this, but still better than most avns.

As for hard times the parallels don't stop there. He lives in the house with the boss and his family and has a criminally shitty parent as well. Oh and the mc, never have been in that life before turns out to be remarkably skilled. It's got a number of parallels.

Edit: Oh and one of the daughters gets shot too.

Oath of Loyalty I thought was alright. It's just that the game just didn't get enough support to find its wings that after the first 10 chapters, and the dev just ended up abandoning it (he actually wanted to do season 2 if he had gotten enough support). Another dev tried to take over but he ended up abandoning it as well.

Alexandra started off good, but I thought latter half of that game the quality really fell, and the whole ending I felt was incredibly rushed with the main big bad reveal being really underwhelming.
As for It was Raining that Night. I thought it was just so-so.

Wouldn't really call any of them great (but yes, this view is subjective, from my pov), but I guess they're worth playing at least once, for those who played DeLuca and is still craving more mafia games content.

It was alright until you were forced to choose a specific path or get a bad ending. Which is trash for a vn. If you don't want people making any choices then write a kn.

Well, first of all I decided to follow the love path of Luna, Garcie and Isabell. If the MC has to work for this family under contract, then he should have fun (and I should too). He is already training with Elektra and Eiza for the future.

I am well aware that this path is a dead end and it will cause problems at a certain point in the game, to say the least. For me, I have decided that if the case arises, then I will cheat. I know that's not what the developer intended, but I just can't decide on one of the girls at this point. Honestly, I want all three. I hope the conflict comes very late!
