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

Great game so far, one of the few of it's kind to have phenomenal story telling, good images, interesting characters, hard to beat this game, even in it's infancy, can't wait for it to be further developed.

The writing and story are great. There's a plot thread that I'm really interested in finding out in future updates. This is the first time ive actualy been invested in the story. There aren't any lewd scenes yet, but I can't wait for them to come because then this game will have the best of both worlds.

My Rating of Deluca v0.03 is:

Pros:
-Nice Renders
-Nice Story
-lots of different scenes
-Action & Thriller
-Long Game Play

Cons:
-None

Its been a while that I had so much fun Playing an Adult game like this.
You have Love,Hate,Thriller,Violence and Love in this Game.
Just cant wait for the next update.
I Pity the Person that doesn't try this Game.

love it!! the whole concept of the game is great, I normally play incest games but this one is maybe the best non incest game and one of my favorites in general.. each charecter is very different and very enjoyable. And the art is sublime!!

10/10
1. Unbelievable perfectly crafted game.
2. Perfect menu for easy navigation.
3. The story is wooow.
The game impresses, excites, comforts, any good feelings. And last but not least, it's crying, because your brain is capable of recognizing sympathy.
Because it's in the early stages, it's worth playing.
I'm happy that I finally found Mr Developer who is wise as an owl and has the heart and the ability to make his ideas perfectly.
It is the only game I wish to have completed.

There's a lot to love about this game and it's easily one of my favorite recent releases. That said, it isn't perfect, but the issues it does have are easily solved and I think this game has a lot of promise going forward.

The Positive:
- Stunning character models: Not only do the models look great, they're not the same copy-pasted ones we see in a lot of games (which isn't necessarily a dig at the ones that do re-use popular models, it's just a particular strength of this game).
- Good Writing: The characters speak and act in ways that seem very natural (relative to the context and the fact that this is an adult game) while displaying a TON of personality in their dialogue.
- The Premise: A refreshing change of pace from the standard "mom/sister family fuckfest" or "dude in a position of power takes advantage of literally every woman he meets", it's a bit of a slow burn (which I like) that gives you a relatively small cast of characters to interact with and grow to love.

The "Negative":
I don't have any major complaints, really, but there are a couple of things that I think could be polished or added to really seal this game's status as a standout.
- The Grind: Grinding for cash is a bit too harsh at the start (and significantly easier as you go). I think this could be smoothed out a bit to improve the flow of the early game. Additionally, a bit more transparency in how best to tackle the jobs might help get the train rolling a little smoother.
- Needs More Cordia: Cordia's a great character. She's laconic in a genre where verbosity is common. Her cool, calm demeanor isn't something you see very often in adult games where women are generally super shy, super horny, or super friendly and outgoing. The one problem is that we don't get to see it on display enough. This could be, and I suspect will be, a problem that is addressed as the game progresses, but I think it would be nice if we could, between major story events, visit her in her office to just talk, even if she wouldn't have much to say. Just my 2 cents on that.

Special Shoutout:
Luna is super cute, and her story gives me the feels real bad. Definitely one of my favourite adult game characters and I've played my fair share of them. Here's hoping this game goes the distance so I can live vicariously through the MC and give her a happily-ever-after.

Great game. Highly recommended if you are in the mood for something with a focus on story.

Deluca Family Review by Xeigin


Deluca Family is a mafia themed erotic visual novel and the whole game itself is a welcoming sight in adult games genre. I like the models and the story. In F95zone, majority of the games are way too similar to eachother in both story and asset department (%90 of the games are looking like quick cashgrabs made by college students).

GOOD
+ Fresh theme and intriguing story.
+ Great characters; character models are looking beautiful, character personalities are unique and well written.
+ Nicely done renders, and many of these rendered images have post processing effects applied.
+ HopesGaming definitely cares about his work. This is my personal observation.

BAD
- Depth of Field effect needs more attention; sometimes it is too much or the effect doesn’t feel right.
- UI needs to be improved, especially in inventory & mission tabs; there are way too many unnecessary clicks required to do simple actions.
- XP & Money Grind should be reduced by between %40 and %20.

I like!
Our protagonist is a guy like any other normal guy. Lives a peaceful and uncomplicated life. That uncomplicated life turns into a rather complicated one when he receives a letter from a mafioso, who tells our unfortunate protagonist that due to his parents past, he is now under a mafia contract. He is to serve for a mafia family, but not just any mafia family, the DeLuca family. One of the most dangerous and infamous criminal organizations in the country.

Excellent work, really like the story line because an epic theme and how the games going, without h-scene still nice and interesting game, graphic was good. Hope you developer can make this game to the end, what i didnt like is the game is too short, because i want to play this game badly, you have create great game, and the girl i liked most is cordie because of her epic entrance and blizzard queen

It's a really nice game. The story is really good as well for my opinion, makes you speculate who the hell he really is. The art style is Excellent for Luna and Gracie I want more scenes for them. I hope that they can finish the game because now I really want to know what his relation is to the DeLuca Family.

I have enjoyed some games on here but not as much as I had on this one, I have no complaints at all about how the story is progressing, about the MC's persona or any of the characters. So far at least. I haven't been so moved to rating a game on here before but for this game i just really had to show how much I enjoyed it. I cannot wait for the future updates. 10/10.

This game got one of the best story ever
the characters doesnt seem forced or there just cause the plot wants it to
instead the characters seem really interesting
especially isabel and the family head

The DeLuca Family is off to an excellent start! The artwork displayed in the preview images and throughout the game should be enough to draw you in, but you'll be pleased to find that the story and cast of characters are uniquely enjoyable as well. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out.

This is not the first game to strive for excellence in both the realm of art and story-telling, but I think this one has the potential to raise the bar. The future looks promising!

Interesting, unique, funny, action, great models, a bit of a tease, it's early days (0.3), but this game has the potential to be one of the best out there.

Everyone seems to go for Luna, but it's Gracie for me! Can't wait to see her plot develop.

This would go down as the best erotic visual novel I have ever played.

Writing: Uncle Wilfred for the win. Who said erotic VN must be all about sex.
Rendering: Neat.
Cast: I love small cast, let me focus more on the characters.
Music: So far so good. I am pleasantly surprised that music is included for such an early version.
Some shortcut key or new layout for doing mission would be great. I detailed about it in my comments.
Hopegaming please don't be evil.

Amazing characters,some great writing, with good humor and witty stuff, slow build with some really cute moments. The mix of open world and history events (with you selecting when to start) is great. This could be a mainstream game without any lewd stuff and it will still be great

There are many games that are enjoying the Porn Industry Low Standard for Storytelling, but this is not one of them. The story is quite nice and compelling, and amazing enough the characters actually have a personality that is not one dimensional.

No real porn content yet, but gonna keep an eye on this game.

There are lots of games to play for a quick fap or satisfying your kinks, but only a few that can be enjoyable just for the plot. This is the latter. Its a bonus that the renders are fantastic and the gameplay mechanics fleshed out.

Nice ! Great models. Interesting Story - This mafia theme is simply awesome. What I've seen so far has convinced me. I really hope that this game will be further developed and not broken off in the middle. Very promising and it would be a pity if it would land on the parking track. I'll be on my way then. I have to buy Hopes a coffee.

- A very interesting and promising story with Mafia theme
- Beautiful characters and renders
- Characters with good personalities and each with their own
Still early to give too many details about the game. Afterall, the game is only in its 2nd version. But it's a very good start I'd say
