Valenza Family
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"Survival in this world demands one thing: being smarter than the man standing next to you. That’s where I come in—I think, I calculate, I outmaneuver. I kill. I do it so that you don’t have to. Blood holds power, but loyalty ensures survival."
Story
In Mafia underworld, trust is rare, blood is currency, and survival demands calculated violence. In Valenza Family, you step into the shoes of Michael Valenza, a cunning and often ruthless made man determined to carve out his place in an underworld teeming with betrayals, shifting alliances, and dangerous rivals. But Michael is also a man with internal struggles and conflict—a heavy past and even heavier burdens. He tries to outrun it all, only to realize that no matter how far he runs, the weight always catches up to him. And beneath the surface of this already dark world, something even darker awaits.
Important Information & Disclaimer:
Game Note: Valenza Family is a story-first, heavily narrative-driven AVN. Valenza Family offers choices during specific scenarios, leading to alternative endings and outcomes for certain scenes. However, the overall story remains linear, with a clear start, middle, and finish. All adult scenes come with the option to "fade to black," allowing players to skip directly to the aftermath. For those who prefer one character over another, you can choose to skip intimate scenes involving other characters as well.
Aftermaths cannot be skipped, and the story will resume as usual. The option simply exists for players who prefer Character A but don’t want to read or see the detailed depiction of an intimate scene with Character B. This choice does not alter the story in any way—it’s purely a small compromise to provide players with a more tailored experience.
Disclaimer: Valenza Family contains depictions of violence, as well as the use and mentions of substances like drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. The story also explores incestuous themes. While moments of humor and light-heartedness are present, the core of the narrative is dark, intense, and rooted in violence.

I took a quick look, and I already know it isn't worth replying there. I'll give you a single example as to why:
Quoting the user: "Hmmm... Well, for starters, the overview says, "In Valenza Family, you step into the shoes of Michael Valenza, a cunning and often ruthless made man...". If the protagonist's last name is Valenza, then he would be a family member, not a made man. If the protagonist is a made man, then his last name would be anything except Valenza. Just thought the author might like to know."
And now I'll tell you my answer to that -
If a Don of an Italian Mafia family promotes his son or daughter without them properly earning their place, several key issues and potential consequences could arise within the organization. Mafia families operate on a system of earned respect and loyalty. Promoting someone without them proving their worth can lead to resentment among soldiers and capos who have worked their way up. It may be seen as a violation of the code of meritocracy that ensures survival and loyalty within the organization. And this is just cherry from the top. There are numerous factors here that speak heavily against this approach. And this is just me being nice and not writing a whole factual book on it.
Moral of the story here? Being smart is fine. But trying to be smart for sake of being smart is not, if it turns out that what you said is dumb.
obvious question but what are the planned tags?
If you're asking me about the sexual aspect of the game, it is fair to assume there is nothing out of ordinary. It is more vanilla leaned. If you're asking me something along the lines of.. "Is it a Harem?" Yes, then I'll say yes to that. If you ask me about stuff like cheating, or what people call NTR etcetera. Then no, that will not be part of it. As it isn't my personal jam.
As for anything else... hard for me to say. Easier for you to ask, if you're interested in something in particular toss me a question and I'll answer you with yes or no to each specific tag you ask about.
Just got the demo, im hoping to see successor to DeLuca it had such an amazing chance to became marvelous just to fall out and never got done.
Respect for the revealing the tags!
Seen it, played it. A good game, but can't be compared to this one. Sadly no one here is a ninja enough to dodge a bullet! But, it was a good game with good potential. Sadly... HopesGaming went from Hopes to HopelessGaming with the fiasco he pulled.
Can't say will it be a successor or not, as that isn't my intent. Not competing with the fella. But I can tell you it won't end up abandoned at least. ( Or years without a word )
Thats all good. If you can write that is all that matters. Good written story can knock socks off.
Do you plan to do other platforms? Patreon etc?
Steam is planned, that is a certainty I can confirm. As for these funding platforms such as Patreon, Subsscrew and what not. Honestly? No clue.
I can tell you that MAYBE, but that maybe is very heavy maybe. I had no plans to do it, I'll think about it but... I'm really not fond of it. Not to mention games with incestious themes can take a bullet on platforms like Patreon.
aight that's good to know
Hit me up with question whenever you feel like, mate. Happy to help. In... whatever shape/form.
