Margherita Faubourg - Recently widowed, Margherita purchased the Ca' Nascosta to cement her status as a Venetian socialite. His job allows him to gain access to valuable artifacts - would he steal the treasures and sell them on the black market?

He claims to love art and works for near nothing because it is his passion. He is restoring the Ca' Nascosta for very little money, even though he's one of the best in his field. She is the only playable character in the game, which means the player must solve the mystery from her perspective.Ĭolin Baxter - Colin is an art restorer from Oxford, England. Nancy Drew - Nancy is an eighteen-year-old amateur detective from the fictional town of River Heights in the United States. Nancy is sent to spy on the ring and discover the ringleader of the crimes. A crime syndicate is actually responsible for the thefts, using commedia dell'arte characters as code names. The thief has been dressing up in a mask and cape, and the news media have begun to call him 'The Phantom' not only because of the way he dresses, but because he leaves behind so few clues. The Italian secret police have called Nancy Drew in to investigate a series of art thefts happening in Venice. The game is loosely based on a book of the same name The Phantom of Venice (1985). There are two levels of gameplay, Junior and Senior detective modes, each offering a different difficulty level of puzzles and hints, however neither of these changes affect the actual plot of the game. Players take on the first-person view of fictional amateur sleuth Nancy Drew and must solve the mystery through interrogation of suspects, solving puzzles, and discovering clues. It has an ESRB rating of E for moments of mild violence and peril.

The game is available for play on Microsoft Windows platforms. The Phantom of Venice is the 18th installment in the Nancy Drew point-and-click adventure game series by Her Interactive.
