## About This Game
ABOUT

For fans of visual novels who have been yearning for something new and
exciting, these visual novels cover the lives of the Gallo crime family, from
early childhood to adulthood, as they gradually become more entrenched in the
Italian-American Mafia underworld. You will experience the novels from the
perspectives of six main characters as they are pulled into a chaotic conflict
generations in the making.

The first Crime Opera trilogy was written over the course of 3 and a half
years, and there are plans for an entire second trilogy to be written (in
order to finish the story). This first installment contains 24 full chapters,
and the main route is over 64k words long. At the beginning of the game, you
can choose to read it straight through as a kinetic novel (no choices), or as
a visual novel with choices that lead to other endings. These endings, while
false in nature, *do* shed more light on characters and their motivations,
revealing a much fuller picture of major events and how they were sparked into
being.

PLOT

This first novel follows six narrators in their childhood, and focuses on
their introduction into the Mafia world (through their parents). The story
begins with the sudden death of the family matriarch and subsequently spins
out of control when her two sons, Gerald and Xander, are put on the defensive,
as former partners threaten to take over their collective business ventures
for themselves. See through the eyes of the Gallo children as they witness
murders, kidnappings, and a slew of other crimes wrought upon their households
by their own fathers.
