    The story is widely praised for its engaging, well-written mafia-themed narrative with rich character development and emotional depth, often described as a slow-burning visual novel that prioritizes plot over adult content. While some find the pacing slow and missions grind-heavy, the intricate storytelling, humor, and immersive world-building keep players invested and eager for a continuation. However, the story remains unfinished due to lack of developer support, leaving a cliffhanger that many hope will be resolved in a sequel.

    • “One of my favorite visual novels, amazing game, it's not mindless adult slop, the story is entertaining, I felt attached to the characters, emotional roller coaster, great DnD RPG mechanics that made exploration really fun. The adult content has proper build-up & presentation, the gallery shows what's to come if you play your cards right, leveling up & building erotic or friendly relations with everyone.”
    • “The deLuca Family (TDF) features a well-developed and engaging story. It's easy to become invested in the characters and their storylines. The character models are more realistic in body shapes and sizes than similar games, and that helps make the storyline feel more relatable. While I'm not especially drawn to crime family stories, the deLuca Family story quickly drew me into its world.”
    • “By far one of the best VN games I have ever played and story-wise probably the best. Original and engaging characters with humor, interesting backgrounds and story twists that bring out different emotions which only make you want to learn more about them (especially Luna's backstory, which was absolutely mind-blowing).”
    • “The story is not very good, and the lewd scenes are few and far between.”
    • “The story was alright at points but as a whole I wish I didn't play this game.”
    • “The pacing and the story beats don't gel together, as necessary elements such as a build-up won't happen at all before crucial moments occur.”

  • grinding

    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game is widely criticized for being overly grindy and tedious, especially when earning cash or progressing through repetitive missions with limited variety. Grinding often lacks rewarding progression or new items, making it feel slow-paced and frustrating, though some players find it tolerable if they appreciate the story or soundtrack. The grinding experience is exacerbated by clunky UI and excessive text, which hampers immersion and overall enjoyment.

    • “The game is extremely and unnecessarily grindy.”
    • “There are parts that are a bit grindy where you need a specific amount of money to move forward, but the only way to make money is by repeating the same few missions that are currently in the game.”
    • “A lot of the missions will be replayed to make money in the game which then makes the game very tedious, and the stats weren't explained.”

  • graphics

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    48% positive mentions, 38% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with praise for good artwork, lighting, and smooth animations, as well as immersive and detailed visuals. However, some users find the models low-quality, animations lacking fluidity, and certain minigame graphics basic and bland, which detracts from the overall experience. While visually appealing to many, some feel the presentation occasionally falls short compared to modern standards.

    • “Visually it is astounding, the renders are almost top tier. Though with the advancement of graphical quality and capability in recent years it may seem to fall behind, it still holds up as the dev is a fantastic scene setter.”
    • “Really enjoyed the story, great graphics and super missions to build on the story.”
    • “Graphics, modelling, lighting etc. are all good.”
    • “The models are low graphic artwork with very sad animations that makes the game even worse.”
    • “The minigame graphics are a bit basic, reminds me of old text RPGs, but they fill their function and can quickly be blasted through for cash.”
    • “Also the mini game of doing contracts could use some visuals of where your character is; it's currently very bland.”

  • humor

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its originality, insightful and funny dialogue, and effective blend with serious story elements. Characters like Luna and Gracie stand out for their hilarious interactions, providing a light-hearted balance to the organized crime narrative. While humor resonates strongly with most players, some found it less frequent or immersion-breaking, but overall it adds a unique and engaging layer to the experience.

    • “The story is interesting, Luna and Gracie are hilarious, and the scenes were well done.”
    • “I also found myself laughing a decent amount, the dialogue is actually top tier for a visual novel; the interactions between Gracie and Luna are hilarious.”
    • “The game is also hilarious at times, gravely serious at others, but always you're being driven forward by the MC's desire to know more, and grow into his new role.”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    46% positive mentions, 31% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay combines engaging D&D-inspired RPG mechanics and meaningful character interactions, offering an emotionally rich visual novel experience with enjoyable exploration and relationship-building. However, some find the gameplay tedious or limited, citing clunky UI and restricted environments, which may hamper long-term engagement despite the strong story and world-building. Overall, it appeals to players who appreciate narrative depth alongside strategic minigames.

    • “One of my favorite visual novels, amazing game. It's not mindless adult slop; the story is entertaining and I felt attached to the characters. An emotional roller coaster with great DnD RPG mechanics that made exploration really fun. There is a grind, but once you fully master the available missions to get the highest rewards, it's not that bad. Leveling up and building erotic or friendly relations with everyone adds depth.”
    • “If you enjoy adult visual novels with a rich story and interesting minigame mechanics, The Deluca Family is a must-have.”
    • “The background is rich, the dialogues are great, and the gameplay is interesting.”
    • “The most tedious gameplay and superfluous text of any AVN on Steam, and that's a competitive field.”
    • “Would (probably) be better if it used some Godot or UE instead of Ren'Py: the developer's efforts are noticeable, but the UI is so clunky that everything about the gameplay is tedious.”
    • “I expected more gameplay in the city, but you're basically stuck in the house.”

  • music

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    56% positive mentions, 44% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in this mafia-themed visual novel is highly praised for its immersive and emotionally fitting soundtrack that complements the scenes and enhances the overall mood. Despite the lack of voice acting, the carefully selected music and sound effects effectively maintain player engagement throughout the compelling story.

    • “It goes from comedy to extreme violence, and it has great music appropriate to the scenes, with 22 hours of play on the simple VN route.”
    • “It's a linear but compelling mafia-themed visual novel with an immersive soundtrack.”
    • “The renders are very well made, showing lots of work from different locations to the smallest details, as well as the music and sound effects that perfectly match each scene and situation.”

  • emotional

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game delivers a deeply emotional experience with a well-written, engaging story and heartfelt character relationships that resonate strongly with players. It features moments of emotional intensity and thoughtful buildup, enhanced by evocative soundtracks and dialogue, making it a meaningful and rewarding visual novel beyond typical adult content.

    • “One of my favorite visual novels, an amazing game that's not just mindless adult content. The story is entertaining and I felt attached to the characters, experiencing an emotional roller coaster.”
    • “Just grab it if you are a fan of adult visual novels or a well-written story perfectly captivated with emotional soundtracks, carefully chosen dialogues, and smart camera angles.”
    • “If you choose the full story (you'll understand when that happens), be prepared for heart-wrenching moments even for those with a strong stomach.”

  • character development

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    Character development in the game is generally praised for being solid and well-paced, offering a more thoughtful take on relationships rather than immediate rewards. While some find the characters engaging and the progression interesting, others feel the development can be limited or caricatured. Additionally, the story incorporates a balance of light-hearted and darker elements, contributing to an overall nuanced character journey.

    • “Interesting take on the AVN genre, decent amount of character development and content. It takes a while to get into action, but I don't think that's a bad thing.”
    • “I would like to point out that it has a nice rhythm, quite easygoing, good character development, funny sketch to make it more light-hearted.”
    • “The relationships felt more 'fun' than rewarding as nothing ever really felt too serious and we rarely got character development outside of the caricature that the females were supposed to be.”
    • “There are so many unanswered questions and theories, and the dark parts... they're avoidable, but if you have the guts to handle it, the character development is impeccable.”
    • “This game definitely is a sexual game but it does have pretty solid world building and character development, meaning that this story won't have every girl becoming part of your harem overnight.”

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is hindered by persistent glitches and bugs that affect progression, especially due to restrictive journal requirements. While the concept is praised, technical issues and excessive dialogue detract from the overall experience.

    • “Rubbish buggy game - long crap dialogue - can't progress with game unless all the journal parameters are met - waste of money and time.”
    • “Love the game, still has glitches... however, overall a very well thought out game but it could definitely be more interactive and less text based... the premise is good but I feel there was a lot the developer could have included.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers replayability through a limited number of jobs that can yield rare gear if completed perfectly, but the repetition of the same tasks may reduce immersion and overall engagement.

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is praised for being unique and immersive, complementing the game's original story and characters. It creates a compelling and engaging experience, especially for players seeking depth beyond typical visual novel content.

    • “All in all, it is unusual on all fronts: the story, the atmosphere, the characters, the interface, and the gameplay.”
    • “This game is actually an original visual novel and has a great story. If you are looking for porn and a lot of sex scenes, this game will disappoint you, but if you are looking for a very good story, great atmosphere, and characters, this game delivers.”

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users appreciate monetization approaches that integrate engaging in-game activities, such as estate restoration and themed mini-games, enhancing the experience beyond typical advertising-driven models.

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game requires better optimization, particularly for animated scenes, which currently cause lag and high power consumption.

    • “Speaking of settings... I have to mention that the game needs some optimization on the animated scenes (usually adult scenes) as it can get laggy and power hungry.”
