Buy Masquerada: Songs and Shadows PC key

Masquerada: Songs and Shadows is a fully voiced, pause-for-tactics RPG set in Citte della Ombre, a Venetian-inspired city where masked magic and political conflict shape daily life. You play as Cicero Gavar, one of Ombre’s finest sleuths, who returns from exile to investigate the kidnapping of diplomat Razitof Azrus.

Ombre and its masks

In Ombre, religion holds no sway; an Ombrian’s legacy lives on through songs of their deeds. The Mascherines are masks that let their wearers channel the elements and cast destructive magic. They have helped entrench inequality between the power-hungry guildsmen known as the Masquerada and the impoverished lower classes, the Contadani.

A prolonged civil war began when Contadani rebels stole Mascherines from the Masquerada, leaving scars of mistrust across the city. As members of the Masquerada join Cicero’s investigation, they doubt one another, and their faith is tested as a deeper conspiracy lurks in Ombre’s shadows.

Tactical combat

You can pause combat to control its pace, position your party and plan attacks by the second. Apply elemental magic tags to enemies, then activate them with another element to inflict crowd-controlling status effects.

A voiced story

The drama at the heart of Ombre unfolds over 12 hours of fully voiced narrative, featuring voice performances by Matthew Mercer and Jennifer Hale. The game combines dreamy colours and environmental linework inspired by French comic artists with stylized 3D characters.
