You’d think if Death would have a daughter, she would be grim and less attractive-looking. Unfortunately, that is not the case in Venetica, dtp Entertainment’s upcoming action-RPG with a “cryptic storyline”, which could be a bad thing if you think about it. Here’s the totally goofy storyline:

In the era of Venetica, Death walks among the living as a flesh & blood being, carrying out the deeds of an ancient council known by a few as Corpus. Each generation of the Corpus is set with the task of selecting the next predecessor of the bringer of death. Unfortunately, the most recent council had unwittingly selected a crafty necromancer who is determined on bringing death and destruction to the world.

This conniving imposter has managed to transform into an undead fiend, which no mortal man can kill. This power-crazed necromancer is hell-bent on destroying the reinstated Death and the council of Corpus. Only one person stands in his way, Scarlett, the daughter of Death.

So, it is now up to Death’s busty daughter, Scarlett, to challenge the stupid necromancer and kick his ass to hell. The game is going to start killing people sometime next year on PC and Xbox 360.
