Descend into darkness as you make your way through the Venice's underworld that will confront you with powerful secret societies, mysticism, blood feuds and the many vices and sins of human nature.

Patch 2.6
Alongside the expansion, we are releasing a major update that is available to all players for free.
[p align="start"]List of key changes:Enemy knights have received additional armor slots, as well as the ability to switch weapons in combat by drawing a sword from its scabbard. Their base weapon pool has been reworked in favor of heavier weapons (one-handed swords are now only secondary weapons).
New trinkets and weapons have been added. A number of old trinkets and items have been reworked.
Added automatic target choice for the attack if there is only one enemy present.
Added active abilities for some trinkets and items (gauntlet punches, melee attacks for daggers, foot trips with shoes, etc.).
Some enemy characters will now have high or low virtue. It will affect their equipment, weapons, and abilities.
Throwing daggers have been reworked and can now also be used for melee attacks. When thrown, their damage increases from Coordination, but in melee, it increases from Agility.
Added virtue based damage scaling for more weapons. Enemies will now also receive the corresponding bonus.
Added two new civil talents – Drillmaster and Bon Vivant. A number of old talents have been reworked.
A number of balance changes have been made to the Kingdom of London section: reduced gold bonuses from battles, added army upkeep costs, changed the ransom price for some of the prisoners, added desertion and troop disband mechanics, and fixed a number of bugs.
Added a dynamic upper cap for the virtue and its reduction in certain situations (doing highly unvirtuous actions).
Reworked some of the attacks for various weapons. The Executioner's Axe and the Venetian Falchion have received additional unique strikes.
Shield bashes, pommel strikes, and other similar actions now have a stamina\\fatigue penalty for missing. The base stamina cost for these actions has been increased.
A clean hit on the target with the "Weak Spot" strike now additionally increases damage by 5 for every unit of weapon length (5 bonus damage for short swords, 10 for longswords, 15 for two-handed).
The special attack of curved swords now has an Agility multiplier of 100%, instead of 50%.
Virtue equal to zero or lower now extends the duration of applied bleedings by 1 turn and increases the severity of inflicted injuries by 2.
Helmet can now be removed in combat, returning the cut stats.
Reworked the High Scores menu.
Reworked the crafting recipes unlocked by the "do-it-yourself" talent. Items like a blacksmith's hammer or a utility knife will now be reusable.
Major changes have been made to the survival mode: the shop and rewards for completing waves have been reworked, the variety of available items and goods has been increased, the enemy difficulty curve has been made smoother, and additional rewards for quickly killing enemies have been added.
Applying poison to weapons, bolts, and daggers has been simplified (it can now be done directly from the inventory or a pouch).
Added new sounds for bludgeoning weapons.
Added a weapon blessing mechanic for high-virtue characters.
Armor- and shield-piercing bolts can now be used with all types of crossbows.
The snapshot mechanic for crossbows has been removed and replaced with a "point-blank shot" – less dependent on the crossbow skill, and increasing the chance to hit and bypass armor, but requiring the target to be stunned.
The Assassin's Crossbow can now be fired from the left hand without spending a turn (provided the character is armed with a one-handed weapon and does not have a shield).
Also added a very long list of large and small balance changes, as well as numerous bug fixes.
