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.
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:
Played My Bully is my Lover couple of years before, but dropped it (dunno why, just did lol).
It takes a while for the story to pick up, but once it does i was glued.

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.

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.

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.
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!

I have no problem not playing Isabella but when comes down to Gracie and Luna idk if I can pick. Not only are they great characters but they are so great as duo I don't know if I want to. This be one of those games id honestly hope for a future throuple path even if it might not make to much sense. As I cant see Luna really sharing the MC even with her sister she just doesn't seem the type that would even tho she adores and loves her sister.

I agree with you, this is one of those games where the characters are so well cut that you can't decide. We both know that there are too many VNs where this is not the case. I agree with you too, I can and want to choose between Luna and Gracie. They are simply too good in a double pack.

This will be a very hard nut to crack.

К сожалению, некоторые ключевые слова там не были переведены, а DeepL распознает болгарский язык, но не может понять его, возможно, потому, что некоторые части уже переведены. Может быть, попробовать еще раз и/или добавить оригинальное болгарское предложение?

I asked what needs to be done to see Schena in the bathroom when the girls use him in MS’s room? does he come into the room while they are in the bathroom?

people, I really understood the death of death in the 1st season, right? and it turns out she won’t be in season 2 of the game? I mean, what I saw in the last episode of the season, it doesn’t look like someone was able to save her when she was shot in time .. so the question is, will she be in season 2 or not?!?

this is strange if it's poshetat how season 1 ended .. it will be strange if in season 2 the game of nachnots is quite ordinary like buto in season 1 they didn't shoot at Gray and she almost died .. this is true I think it will suck yesl and season 2 of nachnots without Attention to those who have forgotten how season 1 ended

Honest question: do you really see that much of a difference to other, newer, games here on F95 though? Because I really don't. You can argue about who's got the better models, the better scenes and stuff, but from a technical point I fail to see where it all breaks apart. Could you name a game that's really better, not by taste in setting or characters themselves but from a technical point of view?
small comparision of render quality of DeLuca Family and other VNs that came out recently:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
note that i only provided 2 different examples from 2 seperate games and could do many more, i also could cherry pick said examples and pick one that is in low lighting enviroment for DeLuca Family and make it look even less impressive in comparision as those seems be usually the worst looking ones. also i don't really understand what do you mean by "technical point of view". if you are talking about coding of the game, than most VNs run on ren'py, it's hard to fuck up that aspect of the game.
