Somewhere beyond the bright piazzas and open

markets of the Venice Carnevale lurks a masked

thief. Despite months of investigations, the

Italian police remain helpless as stolen treasures

vanish in the night. You now join the case to

infiltrate a dangerous crime syndicate and catch

this phantom thief before he or she destroys the

heart of Venice!
