Ciao Bella: Playthrough

Ciao Bella is a simulation game in which you take on Elena's role. Your job is to solve the innumerable catastrophes that arise in the lives of your friends and family while developing your own career, health and personal balance so that you can build a stable and satisfactory relationship with Elio.
If you'd like to play this game or one like it you can find it both on www.bigfishgam... or store.steampow... to buy it outright, or you can go to www.gamehouse.... where you can pay a monthly fee to play any of their possibly hundreds of games available on their site...the only catch is you have to play it through their website which means an always on internet connection and if you cancel your membership you can't play it anymore outside the demo 1 hour.
Note: It took a lot of fiddling to record this game, but the nostalgia I felt when playing it was worth it. I remember this was one of the first games I ever got with my bigfishgames membership when I was a teenager, and I still play it every so often, even if it's a bit hit and miss to get it to play on windows 10.
If you like this game and want to play it, or others like it, for yourself check out: www.bigfishgam... or www.gamehouse.com both sites have a large selection of games to choose from.

I used to play this game when I was a kid but as an 8 year old I never really understood what to do so I kept messing up and never managed to progress. Thanks for uploading this, I feel really satisfied haha

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

Yeah, they didn't really give much guidance outside of the tutorial on what to do besides the weekly goals. I remember it taking a few times before I passed one of the days because I didn't know I was supposed to save up the week before and it took me forever to figure it out on my own.

[@pinupwaallify]

i remember i played imagining how my adult life would be, so i would work and work out and stuff lol never made it to part 2

[@whatsernameRnR]

omg sameee, also is a foreign language for me so i barely understand some situations

[@rosestrife1498]

Same I never got past the first date part lol

[@Jasmine.Deny1]

Yesss!! I always failed because I wanted to see her drunk she was a hot mess. The instructions were gibberish to me I had her doing anything that first date was always a mess. And If I had her acting civilized I couldn’t get her needs in the right place she was forever passing out

[@marm818]

When I was around 9 years old until I was 12 I played this game over and over again. Just after completing, I would start a new game. It was one of my most favorite! Now I'm 22 and hoping the devs make a sequel or a similar one with a new storyline! Ohhh how my heart wishes!

[@sionwritingco]

This was so nostalgic for me omg

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

I'm glad you liked it :)

[@littlemissclares06]

I always wanted to complete this game so bad but I kept getting stuck at a certain level! I loved playing it. But after seeing this video, I don't remember the character's speaking this way, it's hilarious. I just randomly thought of this game and I had to find it. Thank you for uploading!

[@wsnt]

I remember playing this as a kid, I was really young and I never could complete it. My mom played it too and she remembered it being hard, we found out about Ciao Bella through HPGames (but now it’s called WildTangent Games) thank you for this vid

[@chrisauntae6690]

I’ve been trying to find this game for *YEARS*. Omgggg finally!!

[@shulkisreallyfeelingit2251]

I need a soundtrack of this game asap its chill asf lmao

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

I know, whoever chose the music did really well since during the whole game there only seem to be about 3-5 sound clips.

[@LLewisASMR]

Omg I forgot all about this game . I never completed it . Thank you for posting this . I’m 22 now I remember playing this game when I was around 9 or 10

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

It really is a little known gem, and there are very few games like it out there which is a bummer. I'm glad you liked it.

[@JessiqaaLee]

I thought it was the only playing this in 2018, I have 23 years and a few days ago I remembered this game, I'm homesick to play it, but I was stuck at level 10, so comes looking for solutions, thank you very much, is a very entertaining and fun game♥

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

Some games are just worth replaying, and this is definitely one of them for me. I hope my video helped in some way to get you to day 11.

[@priscilaa.7331]

This game was my childhood, so many thanks for upload 🥰

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was one of the first games I bought from BFG and even though it took me forever to figure out how to get past one of the days, it was still really fun to play again.

[@elxptr_]

This is so nostalgic! I remember playing this game in my aunt's living room with her reading the English text and then translating it to my mother tongue, which actually really helped me studying English a lot better

[@sinxali]

Like a lot of people on here I used to play this game all the time when I was little and could never beat it! Randomly remembered it and was so excited to see how it ended. Thanks for uploading!

[@Anne-eq2td]

i can NEVER get past level 2 omg thank you for making this. my childhood feels complete.

[@miab.3143]

had this game recently pop into my head and bought it❗️ i remember my mom playing it and i could never do well 💀 i needed this to get past chapter 11, you’re a lifesaver 😭😭

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

I'm glad my playthrough could help :)

[@lh7157]

I love this game when i was a kid, thank god that i remember this game's name(which is easy to remember) so i can find it and play it again😂

[@Meimoons]

Oh my god this brings back memories! I think I discovered this very young and stopped playing it after finishing the demo. Bummer after I liked the art style so much! It had the sixteen cartoon vibes but like more mature, you know what I mean?

[@OldFordTaurus]

I played this all the time from like 2006-2009 or so. I never got past the first date.

[@yeskaitlyn8029]

lol this game taught me how to say ciao at such a young age

[@danyolers]

This is such an underrated game but I loved playing it as a child. Thank you

[@cindy9697]

Aaaaa, thank you for this, I loved this game when I was kid and recently bought it to replay it again. I really wish they kept realizing more chapters, or that they made a new, modern version of it. It has such a fun concept. I was stuck in a few things and your walkthrough helped me.

[@jomoore9505]

I love this game and I actually am trying to play it now, but mostly it seems to be emulated because flash went away. The unfortunate problem is the emulated versions don’t function right so it makes beating this game so hard.

[@shanpurble]

I tried reliving the nostalgia again but I get this glitch that pops up with the judge on level 6 when I play online.

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

That sucks. This was a copy I had from BFG that was played online so unfortunately I don't know how to fix an online glitch. I wish I could help.

[@jaquan123ism]

i used to play this all the time i thought i could just sleep through the week to skip time and always failed

[@PICFRS]

This game would come free with your purchase of a pc sometime back.

[@tanyaozify6710]

Thank you so much! Love this game ALOT

[@jetlijee]

Thank you! Played this game as a kid and always wondered how it ended!

[@qingyipeng3122]

Is there a sequel featuring Mazda car or something like that?

[@miranda18]

Hello, I saw you have the Ciao Bella game and uploaded a bunch of videos for it. Since you have the game I was wondering if you could see who the Artist for the game was? I saw there’s a “credits” section in the menu but I no longer have the game or a computer to download it on so I cannot check who the artist for this game was! I would appreciate it if it’s still possible :)

[@TotallyGlar]

I lovedddd this game gosh

[@lubnalub8214]

Oh my god so nostalgic, Where can i download this gamee in 2024?

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

It still seems to be available on Big Fish Games, though you might have to play it on a compatibility mode.

[@eeeeeeerrriii]

Everytime i play this, i'll always rain and the dude didnt manage to meet the lady :(

[@ichigofurukawa0806]

I missed this game very much😭

[@MacyChan422]

i am now 21 but i still cant finish the game

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

It's one of those games that seem easy, but has hidden tricky bits that can mess you up enough not to get past it.

[@lillymelton2026]

I can never actually win this game....

[@ktgreynet]

I used to play these many years ago online and have ordered a disc of the game but I cannot remember how to save a game, can someone remind me?

[@patibr66]

Em português?

[@adyamaulana]

What's the kitchen song title?

[@Maai-A]

I also wondering...

[@TheLittleMonster1010]

I need helppp. Does anybody get to the park - or are there full downloadable versions that exist?

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

My copy of the game is from bigfishgames.com over a decade ago, and its still available from there but it will cost you some money.

[@commandercone4304]

Ok but why is it called Ciao BELLA?

[@EclecticAussiePlaysGames]

I think it's just because it's a fairly common greeting in Italy and the main character is Italian. I have a friend who greets all of her close friends that way.

[@joannagare]

It's based on a canadian TV series Ciao Bella 2004-05. Elena Battista (played by Claudia Ferri) is a young, single Italian-Canadian woman whose desire for a modern lifestyle conflicts with the traditional values of her family.

[@mayforever9478]

Bella means beauty in Italian…
