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

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

Nice story and events, good leveling system with item shop and skillbooks for stats and this promotion thing is very important way to keep grinding for exp and better items cool plus weekly salary to have that money for better items, nice rendering and sounds are a big plus. Overall very nice VN game.

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!

A fresh, interesting concept in the world of Ren'Py Adult VNs, with intriguing plot and a cast of entertaining, diverse and unique characters. Not to mention the witty dialogue and rich character interactions. The little erotic content there has been has shown great promise.

Can't wait to see more of it.

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.

Great game! Long playtime, nice story and good graphics. Also the grind isn't boring because you dont have to make too much. I hope new updates soon! I wish there was more games like this= long playtime, not boring story, good graphics.

The DeLuca Family comes with a premise of an extense game, providing hours and hours of an enticing gameplay, flowing through a very well-constructed plot and unique characters (Luna is the best!).
Even with its slow build-up, this game is capable to keep players who just want to get some key scenes, due to a separation between 'free roam' and 'story mode', despite the grinding to gather some skills and items.
The renders are probably one of the best around, as they suit perfectly with the text, transcribing the feelings from the characters, like in the prison and the tree scenes. The tension is there.
Here is my vote for the success of this dev and this fantastic game, from which I'm for now expecting great things ahead!

The first lewd game i am more interested in the history than the scenes, i loved the possibility to play how many days i like without advancing in main plot, i hope the developer continue with this great work.

A great story and interesting game design make this a really promising game. The character models seem unique, and the renders are well done. The character and story development is really nice, with interesting stories for most of the characters, as well as some crazy/funny moments (usually to do with Luna).

If it continues on the way it's started, this will be a really great game!

Quality in every aspect of the game so far. The art is great through out the game not just in a few key parts to use in screen shots. I have not run into a single bug. Also the story and characters are some of the most enjoyable and actually compelling I have seen in a while. The amount of content in this early of a version is also a good indicator of the standards of the creator, it does not feel like a cheap cash grab like a lot of the games on here now do.
