Venetica - Gold Edition
Description
Set in the fantastic world of long ago Venice, the young Scarlett falls victim to a terrible mystery, which begins with the murder of her companion by a secretive alliance of mighty necromancers. Thus fate takes its inevitable course and threatens to throw the world out of order.
Scarlett finds out that she is the daughter of death incarnate and is blessed with his ultimate powers. She is the only one who can stop the gruesome powers that threaten to destroy the entire living world.
Now it’s your chance to reverse fate! Get ready for a fast-paced adventure set in an epic world filled with dark dangers and merciless adversaries. Arm yourself with mighty weapons, rally together powerful allies and master the dark powers of death. Can you conquer the powers that threaten to inescapably destroy the world of the living? Follow your path down into the deepest abyss to death itself – and back again, if you are worthy!
Key Features:
To become death in Venetica is a calling, fulfilled by a man of flesh and blood – equipped with special supernatural skills in order to be able to carry out the duties of the office. A new death is selected regularly by “Corpus”, a secret council. This time however Corpus really makes a wrong decision: The “new” death, Victor, turns out to be a crazed necromancer who manages to turn himself into an overpowering undead with seedy tricks and dark rituals and thus attains almost unlimited power in addition to immortality. As it is strictly forbidden for the chosen death to devote himself to necromancy, the committee revokes Victor’s nomination immediately and declares a new death in his stead without delay.
The power-hungry Victor however does not want to relinquish his position again. He continues to practice the dark arts in order to gather numerous dark and dangerous creatures and tainted souls from the underworld around him. He thus succeeds in eliminating the newly designated death and takes over his power for his own purposes. The effects on the world’s balance are calamitous and – should Victor be able to keep himself in power – its dark consequences are irreversible. Only a person who has the same mighty powers as Victor can prevent his prevailing and vent him his deserved punishment.
Scarlett, the daughter of the real death does not know anything about her ancestry and the hidden talents which slumber within her. She is immersed suddenly in this story due to the brutal attack on her home village and the tragic loss of Benedict, the love of her life. It is a story which she now begins to write herself, a story during the course of which she unleashes her capabilities, a story in which she tries to save Benedict from the world of the dead and a story in which she must protect the world of the living from the dark threat posed by Victor and his henchmen.

Underrated
This game is like The Witcher but indie. I'm loving it. Scarlett is a fearless woman who tries to respect everyone (if you choose to do so) and bring peace and safety everywhere she goes, while aiming to fulfill her destiny.

Has a lot of charm but also flaws
The game has a lot of charm with its setting and general feel. Voice acting is pretty good and story as well as combat is serviceable. The city itself is also very well designed and pretty. Unfortunately it's pretty buggy, I get its an older game but I tried looking up some fixes and there's old forum posts from back when the game launched mentioning how buggy it was. I got frequent crashes and world areas not loading when I went into them, just a blank black map. Quests are generally ok, but there's a lot of backtracking at certain points which can take a long time since there's no sprinting. I got it on sale so I'm not completely unhappy with the game, but between crashes and the mandatory backtracking I'm not going to finish it. If you get it on discount the game world is charming enough for try if you like these kind of action rpgs.
