Introduction to the World of The Old Country
Sicily, 1900s. Life is harsh and unforgiving. Farmers struggle under wealthy landlords, while bandits roam the countryside. Villages are left vulnerable, and local crime families step in to offer “protection.” This is the birth of the Mafia.
Enzo Favara grows up in one such village. His family is poor but honest, working the land to survive. Enzo’s father despises the Torrisi crime family, who demand payment in exchange for protection. But standing against them comes at a heavy price.
When Enzo’s father is murdered during a violent clash, Enzo is left with nothing but rage. Seeking revenge and survival, he joins the very organization his father hated. This is where the story of The Old Country begins.
Chapter-by-Chapter Story Walkthrough
Chapter 1: The Quiet Village
The game opens with Enzo working in the fields with his father. You hear the wind over olive trees, the sound of farm tools, and the chatter of villagers. Life seems simple—until the Torrisi enforcers arrive to collect payment.
Enzo’s father refuses, calling them parasites. The enforcers leave with a warning. That night, rival thugs aligned with the Torrisi’s enemies attack. In a tragic cutscene, Enzo’s father is beaten and killed.
With grief burning inside him, Enzo promises himself that he will never be powerless again.
Chapter 2: First Steps into the Mafia
Enzo seeks out the Torrisi family. At first, they don’t trust him, but his anger convinces them to give him a chance. His first missions involve small jobs—running errands, delivering smuggled goods, intimidating rivals.
Gameplay here teaches stealth mechanics, knife combat, and horseback chases. You feel the old-world charm of Sicily but also the brutality of mafia life.
By the end of the chapter, Enzo proves himself. He kills for the first time—a rival thug connected to his father’s death. It changes him forever.
Chapter 3: The Weight of Loyalty
Enzo’s rise begins. The Torrisi don sees potential in him and assigns bigger tasks. Enzo collects debts from landlords, secures smuggling routes, and deals with corrupt politicians.
Here, you see the tension between family and crime. Enzo’s mother and younger sister beg him to leave. They fear losing him like they lost his father. But Enzo feels trapped. Leaving now would mean wasting his father’s death.
The missions get more brutal. A smuggling run turns into a bloody ambush. A debt collection ends in murder. Every choice Enzo makes ties him tighter to the Mafia.
Chapter 4: Shadows of Betrayal
Inside the Torrisi family, cracks begin to show. Rumors spread that some members are working with rival factions.
Enzo is ordered to investigate. He sneaks into meetings, overhears politicians promising to back the rivals, and gathers proof of betrayal. But the truth is worse than he imagined: even trusted Torrisi captains are planning to overthrow the don.
The stage is set for all-out war.
Chapter 5: Blood on Sicilian Soil
One of the most dramatic chapters, this mission begins with Enzo returning to the Torrisi villa—only to find it under siege. Rival factions storm the stronghold with rifles and dynamite.
You fight through collapsing buildings, knife duels in candle-lit corridors, and gun battles in vineyards. In the chaos, the Torrisi don is assassinated.
The family is broken. The survivors scatter. Sicily descends into bloody gang warfare. Enzo is left shocked and broken. Everything he fought for is gone.
Chapter 6: The Last Bonds to Sicily
With the don dead, Enzo has no reason to stay. His mother urges him to leave Sicily before it consumes him. But leaving isn’t simple.
In these missions, Enzo must secure false papers, fight off rival assassins, and protect his younger sister from being used as leverage. The gameplay emphasizes stealth and survival—Enzo isn’t trying to rise anymore, he’s trying to escape.
Finally, he secures passage on a ship heading to America.
Chapter 7: A New World Awaits
The final playable chapter is quieter but deeply emotional. Enzo boards the ship under the cover of night. He looks back at Sicily one last time, the fires of gang wars still burning in the hills.
As the ship sails across the Atlantic, a cinematic cutscene plays. The Statue of Liberty emerges from the mist. Enzo stares at it with a mix of fear and determination.
Sicily is behind him. America lies ahead.
Post-Credit Scene
After the credits, a short but powerful cutscene ties the game to the Mafia trilogy.
In a smoke-filled New York office, a mafia boss is told:
“Enzo Favara has arrived.”
The screen fades to black, leaving players with the clear message—this is only the beginning.
Ending Explained
Mafia: The Old Country is a tragedy. Enzo begins as a poor farmer’s son, loses his father to violence, and joins the Mafia out of anger. He rises in power, but everything collapses when betrayal tears his family apart.
The ending shows that Enzo’s true destiny isn’t in Sicily—it’s in America. His journey explains how the Mafia crossed the ocean and connects directly to the events of Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven.
