So first of all I enjoyed this game a lot, enough to create an account in order to make this comment.
The writing is good, the dialogue sounds like actual human beings talking, which is a serious step up from some of the visual novels I've played on this site.
That said, the tone is a little jarring, right at the start, since there are all these warnings about gore and violence and nudity and then the game drops you into the house of what we are told is a massive crime family but most of the people that live there appear at first glance to be fairly humorous caricatures of mob stereotypes; the spoiled princess who actually just has no social skills, the unflappable right-hand man who actually can't be bothered to take any of this seriously anymore (unless something actually serious is going on), and the stoic don who is actually just a top quality introvert. With the ambitious firstborn son seeming to be the only member of the family who takes this whole mafia thing seriously but only serves to heighten the humor by becoming exasperated when the other members of the family only take him as seriously as they take themselves.
Now, all this this is actually in service to the excellent character development that happens later but it comes across as a little tonally inconsistent when the game starts with all these warnings that 'this is a serious game for serious people, please take it seriously' and then starts with some old guy driving 20 mph under the limit to the horrified exasperation of the player character.
I don't really have any recommendations biased on this as the warnings need to be there at the start even if people playing are aware this a lewd game because the violence, when it shows up, is right in the player's face and graphic, but I also like getting to know and grow into my understanding of the characters around the PC. Gracie in particular grew on me.
In terms of game play this visual novel can be broken down into three separate sections; the main quest-line (the meat and potatoes of the story in this game), the individual character quest-lines (the romance and dating-sim sections), and the missions (you need to do these to some degree in order to get the money to do certain quests)
After the third or so main mission they all three sections grow very disconnected from each other. They sort of feel like a tree with one set of roots but for some reason has three trunks. I would feel better if the three main sections of the game were tied a little closer together. I understand this is not as easy as just saying poof and the game magically reorganizing itself to fit my preferences, plus it seems like allowing the player to choose what they do or do not do in one section of the game, such as for example, choosing not to attempt both of the daughters in the romance section, might have an impact on the main quest later on.
On the subject of the missions, I think they are too grind-y, especially considering there are no time constants so there is no actual management aspect to the grind, it is just pressing more buttons for the sake of pressing more buttons. Also, the user interface of the missions menu needs some work, for example being able to switch to a different type of mission without having to go back two screens or having the option to leave the mission menu from any screen within the menu would both have alleviated a significant amount of annoyance while dealing with the grind.
Also, some additional clarification on which stats actually help with what mission would be nice. Some of the stats are obvious, like stealth helps with the stealth missions but which missions does threat actually make it more likely for me to succeed on?
That's about it for the non-spoiler stuff. I hope the devs take this as the constructive criticism it is meant as. I really enjoy this game and want it to be the best that it can be.
*SPOILERS*
For most of my playtime Gracie was my least favorite character. Not that I disliked her, I just found her kind of boring and uninteresting. That is, I did until her part in Isabel's story. Absolutely completely changed my mind on the character. When she went all quiet and and threatened to hurt the PC I got chills. I really like the actual threat, too, hurt not kill, which from a meta-narrative perspective she cannot do. So it is a threat she can actually make good on and I am very much looking forward so seeing where that particular plot thread leads. If it goes nowhere and is just dropped I swear I'll riot. I'm really looking forward to seeing consequences in general for attempting to romance the three most unattainable women ever all at one time. And not just from the Head Mamma or hubby, I don't see any of those three women just accepting being relegated to a harem.
You guys established some real stakes here, don't let them go to waste, please!
I'm not sure if the Dev reads these but thanks for making such a great game so far. You can really tell the amount of effort you add to the story and characters.
Luna is my favorite by far but I'm not sure I was ready to read her full story, I may have cried a bit getting through it.
But your doing a great job and I hope you keep up with the project.
I've played lewd vn for while now and i usually used them for quick jerking lol. But this is the first game of it genre that i dont care about it's nudity contents but the story and writings. It's that good, well done good sir bravo!!. Please please more updates i don't want this to end. I'll be a good boy promise
In the more information section it says that the game has been updated 5 days ago but the development log shows 49 days ago, and it stills say V 0.06.1 when i go for downloading it......is the game updated in past few days or not?
The game is absolutely amazing and by far one of my favorite erotic games. The graphics are great, storyline is awesome and humor is on spot. I absolutely love this game. Can you give us an idea about when are you planning to release the next update?
This game is really amazing and special. I've never seen anything like this, even tho I haven't gotten far I've really gotten hooked for this game. The sound effects are amazing, and all the music in it I just love. I thank you for making this game, however I think I got a problem.
Idk if it's because the game haven't updated further or if I've encountered a bug but I can't go on in the main story. I'm stuck on "Story 5: The proud fazio". In tool tip it says that i need to be soldato and it should be daytime, however now I'm rank 8 which means I've been soldato for a while and I've tried to go on every time of the day. Nothing works, did I encounter something or did the game not updated far enough?
have you actually been made soldato? when asking Wilfred for work, there's a menu on the left with "Events", there should be a promotion event with a scene in Cordia's room and a walk in a park with Luna
Dear developer(s), you have done an incredibly amazing work. I know how much hard work you and your team have done in building this game and the efforts show off in an amazing way. The game is damn great but I want to say that while I was playing the free version (the version 0.06.1) of the game on an online game site I encountered a bug. It appears while going through the quest "my name is luna" in the living room. The game stops responding at this point and it is truly annoying. Hope you can do something about it please.
Sir, the thing that i want to tell you is i really enjoyed playing this game and it was not only because of the romance part with the girls but also because of the story. You really put a lot of effort which this game proves and i really appreciate that. So thank you sir. And one last thing sir which i know will sound weird but, will we get to have a romantic relationship with Cordia DeLuca as well?
He's not wrong. At first I was like "Yeah... that's about how I'd expect someone who dresses like that to be... yikes... she's a bit disturbing..." when you first meet her, but then slowly over time, I went from thinking "ehhh, I don't know about this girl..." to finding myself actually really thinking she's a really cool person, as unhinged as she can be. And that's before the scene that opens the story of her past as a 6 year old. I also never was into anything remotely "emo/goth/punk" (which are all muddled these days, I can hardly tell them apart), yet I still ended up finding myself growing to think she's purdy and cute. lol. So, not just great writing on her, but, great choice of character model, too lol.
guys how do i download this game from mega.nz directly into my pc. i was using mega downloader but now its not working for some reason. please help if there is an alternet method. i would really appreciate the help guys.
I agree. This game is one of my favorites. Already completed all of it in a single day. I want more. I have to know what happens. Chosing the erotic side was the best choice! thanks!
Best erotic game i´ve ever played. can´t wait for more. Amazing job. Also Hopesgaming i was wondering what the song is called that was used when the younger sister tried to "Club dancing"?
Bug where after you tell Gracie she looks nice while shes laying on her bed the screen goes black but still works. BTW loving the game, my gal Luna needs some love in the next update tho :)
Hey mate, I would really appreciate if you could make it compatible for Android, all the sites that I could find that have it posted to Android are full of scams, Flooded with adds & pop-ups and all those sites want you to sign up and pay for a premium membership just to download the game...
If I was going to Pay to play the game I'd rather Pay & or download the game from the original creator of the game and not some sleezy scam artist from in a who makes money of other people's hard work and passion...
Please please bring this game to mobile to the best of your ability, this game genuinely looks like an amazing Gem to play.
The game is very good, i won't repeat what every other people already said so i'll just ask one things, do you have any idea when the next update will be ?
Sir Hopes, I wanted to let you know that the game you are making, is amazing, the story telling of what happens makes me yearn for more. I have not hade a game effect my emotionally like this in a loong time, and that was by a massive company with probably many writers, you sir have talent for, learning about the character luna, i have felt anger, sadness and love. I look forward to when this game one day is complete, and that we might see more story based games from you, cause as i said earlier, you truly have talent for this.
BTW, would it be possible to get a replay option for events, cause i really like the scene with Luna at the end of the current update.
I dont know that much about game development but it is an incredible game. It would propably be way more popular if it was also compatible on mobile, but i dont know how hard it is to transfer. Do you plan on making it android compatible?
The girls are cute, the dialogue is funny, and the characters are actually characters and not just archetypes. Wonderful game so far can't wait for more!

I thought I was playing a porn game, instead I got emotionally invested in some heavy stuff (Luna's story), holy shit. You're really good at writing.
Thank you for the kind words

So, not just great writing on her, but, great choice of character model, too lol.
sir please update the game fast
Will do my best
Don't rush it, just focus on enjoying your work and knowing that it takes time and flow to ensure you create the best possible game you can.
Thank you for the kind words

I have not made an android versions, but I do know that there are a couple that have made an android version of my game.

Translation is done by volunteers. I just add it.
Hey mate, I would really appreciate if you could make it compatible for Android, all the sites that I could find that have it posted to Android are full of scams, Flooded with adds & pop-ups and all those sites want you to sign up and pay for a premium membership just to download the game...

Please please bring this game to mobile to the best of your ability, this game genuinely looks like an amazing Gem to play.
There is an Android version in f95zone made by a third party,
Massive props for referencing abc hypothesis.
The game is very good, i won't repeat what every other people already said so i'll just ask one things, do you have any idea when the next update will be ?

BTW, would it be possible to get a replay option for events, cause i really like the scene with Luna at the end of the current update.

I am indeed planning on adding a gallery and replay options to the game.
What is the link to your Patreon?
I dont know that much about game development but it is an incredible game. It would propably be way more popular if it was also compatible on mobile, but i dont know how hard it is to transfer. Do you plan on making it android compatible?
Game is already on android.
But it is done by a third party and not something I have any control over.
The girls are cute, the dialogue is funny, and the characters are actually characters and not just archetypes. Wonderful game so far can't wait for more!
Awesome game, thanks for your effort. what is the release date of version 0.6? I'm wondering so badly where story goes!!
Seems to be every 5 months given history so I'm guessing March..:(
yea, probably you'r right. I wish it'will come sooner or won't come over 5 monts.
Yes, sadly the time per release is not what I want.
But this is just a hobby for me atm but as my Patreon grows things will change hopefully.
Maybe put your patreon link into this page? I've been looking everywhere and can't find the link to your patreon. Will gladly support.
Beautiful Game..Looking forward to the next update :)
