A Plague Tale: Innocence is a game that plunges you into the darkest hours of history. You will have to survive numerous dangers, but also face a plague that continues to spread across Europe.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is an adventure game developed by Asobo Studio that plunges you into the darkest hours of history. Your goal will be to survive numerous dangers and find your place in such a cruel world.

The story of this game takes place in France in 1348. During this period, the plague is ravaging Europe and has already decimated a large part of the population. You embody Amicia and her little brother Hugo, aged 15 and 5, who are trying to escape numerous dangers.

During your adventure, you will travel through many different landscapes, such as battlefields and villages. But be careful, because there is one thing they all have in common. Disease is present wherever you go, making your journey very difficult. And that's not all, because by joining forces with other children, you'll be able to hunt down the greatest threat, which is none other than a swarm of rats that devours everything in its path. You will also have to escape the Inquisition, which is trying to find Amicia and Hugo.
