I wrote a waaaay longer review to this but when I pasted it here it looked intimidating x°° so I made it short ahaha!
So, I don't like mafia aesthetics in games (being Italian and all) but your game was suggested to me so much that I had to try, and I'm glad I did, it's a very fun demo. I'll be definetly back for the full version! Luca is my favorite, my precious. I hope to see more about him in the final version. And Morgan, too, she's adorable! The game had lots of work put into it and it shows.
I know it's a weird suggestion because the game is mafia themed, but if I can propose... I would lessen the 'mafia' aesthetic. I'm suggesting this because I liked the game and I want to see it shine even more: the mafia IRL here is very different from what is shown in the game and it doesn't look realistic ;__;" BUT having the characters being simply the heirs of a businessman family with a shady (mafia) past would make way more sense with the clothing, the elegance, etc (cause Italian mafiosi don't dress like that) and even having branching families protecting it (with the Soldati being bodyguards instead of soldiers). If you need an Italian beta reader \ sensitivity reader and you're open to that I'd gladly help uwu/
PS: we need more Luca in the final version uwu

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time for a review! I'm glad you liked it and loved both Morgan and Luca as much as I do! <3
Your critique about the Mafia aesthetics is valid, being from Italy, but the Mafia aesthetic was actually based on the Italian-American Mafia from around the 1920s but in a modern setting! <3 I chose to veer away from making it entirely realistic to not make it too dark and to give it some leeway in terms of story (similar to how Ozmafia had Mafia features but had definitely taken liberties in terms of realism!) ^^
Though, I definitely wouldn't reject any help beta reading when I have more of the script ready, so when the time comes I'd be happy to reach out and see if you're still interested! <3
(P.S. Luca will have his own route for sure, and I'm super excited to write more of the snuggly little guy~ ^^)
