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!
