A Plague Tale: Innocence tells the grim story
of two siblings fighting together for survival
in the darkest hours of history. This new video
game from Asobo Studio sends you on an
emotional journey through the 14th century
France, with gameplay combining adventure,
action and stealth, supported by a compelling
story.
Players follow the young Amicia and her little
brother Hugo, who face the brutality of a
ravaged world as they discover their purpose to
expose a dark secret. On the run from the
Inquisition's soldiers, surrounded by
unstoppable swarms of rats incarnating the
Black Death, Amicia and Hugo will learn to know
and trust each other as they struggle for their
lives against all odds.
The story of A Plague Tale begins in 1349.
Rats swarm in uninterrupted waves throughout
the territory of France. In the plague-ridden
villages, countryside and battlefields, this
uncontrollable and voracious mass advances
relentlessly. The creatures devour everything in
their path, men and animals alike, to satisfy the
endless hunger of their ever-increasing
numbers.
In the midst of hundreds of piled corpses,
hordes of rats teem over the bodies and leave
little hope for Amicia and Hugo to escape with
their lives – the faint glow of the flame Amicia
holds appears to be the only thing that repels A
Plague Tale: Innocence’s swarming menace.
Amicia and Hugo are pursued by the Inquisition
through villages devastated by the disease. On
their way, they will have to join forces with other
orphans and evade swarms of rats using fire
and light.
