This top-down, story-rich gothic RPG set in 18th-century Italy allows players to delve into the world of dark magic and necromancy.

Key gameplay features include mastering the dark arts, turn-based combat, forging powerful alliances, uncovering secrets of the dead, and exploring a living, breathing world.
