A Plague Tale: Innocence

A Plague Tale: Innocence is a third-person action-adventure game set in 14th-century France during the Black Death. Players control Amicia, a young girl protecting her little brother Hugo as they flee the Inquisition and navigate environments overrun by swarms of plague rats. Gameplay combines stealth, puzzle-solving, and light combat, with an emphasis on using fire and light to manage the rat hordes. The story begins in 1348, when the plague ravages the Kingdom of France. Amicia and Hugo are pursued by Inquisition soldiers through villages devastated by the disease. On their way they join forces with other children, and they rely on the link that binds their fates together. Fire and light are what keep the swarms of rats away. They struggle to survive against overwhelming odds in a brutal, unforgiving world, and the story follows how the two come to know and trust each other. The game is a single-player campaign with full controller support on PC.
